- Wondering what people have been doing to make the world more sustainable? So did we. #Conservation #ClimateChagne #Net-zero substack.com/home/post/p-...
- Feel like playing a game and learning about plastic pollution? We tried something a little fun. #SaveOurOceans #SaveOurSeas #OceanConservation #NoPlastic ocean-guardian-870951a7.base44.app

- How often do people complain about the cold? Turns out, we’ll be complaining a lot more once it’s gone. #Winter #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #SaveOurWinters thebluemarble.substack.com/p/powder-to-...
- In times like these we can sit in fear, or we can step into action. So many of the people, businesses, and organizations we highlight choose to act. We hope to bring you more clarity into how the world is becoming more sustainable even in these uncertain times. #hope #sustainability #change
- Sea turtle nesting records are a bright spot: Florida logged a record year for leatherback nests. The pattern holds—protect habitat, reduce threats, keep showing up. What’s one coastal (or river) place you’d defend if you had to? #SeaTurtles #Oceans #Conservation
- Black-footed ferrets went from “extinct in the wild” to “endangered.” That is what persistence looks like in real animals, real places. What’s your favorite “we didn’t give up” comeback story? #EndangeredSpecies #Wildlife #Hope
- Ohio’s bald eagles: a comeback you can count. Hundreds of nests documented—proof that protection + policy can reverse collapse. Conservation works when we stick with it. #Wildlife #ConservationWins #Ohio
- Environmental justice with a clipboard: Boulder residents are pushing for independent air monitoring as coal ash cleanup moves forward. When health is on the line, transparency is non-negotiable. #AirQuality #Accountability #Colorado
- Small grants. Big momentum. Six groups in Michigan’s Muskegon River watershed just got funding for restoration, stabilization, hazardous waste disposal, and wetland work. The conservation engine is local and steady. #Watersheds #Conservation #Michigan
- A dam comes down; a creek comes back. Michigan is removing a deteriorating dam—reconnecting miles of cold-water habitat for trout and native species. Restoration can be that simple: remove the barrier, restore the flow. #Rivers #Restoration #Michigan

- Texas milestone: solar beat coal on ERCOT in 2025. Not perfect—but measurable progress. Cleaner power = cleaner air = healthier lungs. #Solar #CleanEnergy #Texas
- Rural Arizona just scored an $11M groundwater accountability win. A new fund will address harms tied to industrial-scale pumping—because water security is climate resilience and basic fairness. #Water #Resilience #Arizona
- New Jersey just drew a bright line: if a community is already overburdened, you don’t pile on more pollution. The state’s landmark Environmental Justice rule survived appeal. This is what justice looks like: rules that change outcomes. #EnvironmentalJustice #PublicHealth #NewJersey
- Dr. Pedro A. Sanchez (1940–2026) was a Cuban-born soil scientist and agroforestry pioneer who helped transform how the world restores degraded tropical lands. He may be gone, but his legacy lives on. #Agroforestry #SoilHealth #Forestry #ClimateSolutions #Restoration #Conservation

- Mindy Germain (Port Washington, NY) is putting students in charge of sustainability through youth climate summits, watershed fieldwork, and clothing swaps. Give young people a real problem and real tools, and they’ll lead. Thanks, Mindy! #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Community #YouthLeadership
- Ever wonder about the giants beneath the ocean? For one organization, it's all they think about. #Whales #Conservation #Wildlife thebluemarble.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-...
- Sometimes the best thing you can do for the environment is pick up the trash you see on the walk through the parking lot. #Sustainability #SmallSteps #CleanAIr #CleanWater
- “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” — Keats Beauty isn’t fluff. It’s fuel. Drop one small beautiful thing you saw today. #Poetry #Mindfulness
