Follow us on our green journey. From Michigan down to Georgia, there is no shortage of green spaces around our businesses. 🌳 Textron Specialized Vehicles ERGs TSV Green Team and TSV Health & Wellness, worked this Spring to prepare planters for their new community garden being installed at their Augusta headquarters! 🌳 Kautex Textron ERGs ECOTEX and DRIVE, joined non-profit The Greening of Detroit to plant trees and improve air quality in Detroit neighborhoods. Their volunteers ranged from Directors to Associates and overall they combined their efforts to plant 11 trees! 🌳 Textron Corporate ERG, Green Team, upgraded the planters outside our World Headquarters building to host pollinator friendly plants! 🌳 Kautex Textron EHS Manager, Jeff, created a Nature Path from unused brush space outside their Lavonia, GA facility. He was able to use scrap materials like wood and discarded fuel tanks to create an entrance sign, path markers and decorations for the path which spans just under a mile!

TRUIST Partners with TREES ATLANTA.. Would like to thank TRUIST to give me an opportunity to volunteer with TREES ATLANTA. I volunteer for ‘SAVE SOIL' (https://lnkd.in/ghW96dHW) awareness led by ISHA Foundation, so to volunteer for Trees Atlanta was a natural YES and YES. One view is to give back to the Community, and another is a little realization that too many trees have been sacrificed for my consumption needs and without Trees this existence will have nothing to support life . Conscious consumption is the only way forward. Firstly, what a wonderful prep done by Volunteers at TREES Atlanta org to get all logistics in place (equipment, potted trees, mulch, water etc.). Very well organized in terms of instructions and guidance, by Trees Atlanta to make the best use of some 150ish volunteers across multiple companies including TRUIST. Lots of good information related to planting trees and that too on a slope. Nature was kind enough to give us a perfect weather one can dream of. Just enough overnight rain to make shoveling easy, and enough clouds to not make it hot and a breeze to refresh. Hope the sweet pain from the manual work for all, which we are less used to, paves was for a relaxing weekend. A team effort to see 80+ trees planted on the side slopes of Freedom Parkway. In near future the fragrance of these flowering trees will bring a smile on our faces.

🌍 Happy Earth Day! Today is a great day to highlight the vital connection between conservation and philanthropy. As the Old Dominion University Office of Advancement, we view environmental stewardship as a key form of giving back—a philanthropic act that benefits not only our planet but every individual it sustains. 🌿 Conservation efforts, from energy-saving initiatives to recycling programs, are philanthropic investments in the health and longevity of our environment. They reflect our commitment to responsible stewardship and the well-being of future generations. As professionals and leaders, it is imperative to recognize that sustainable practices in our daily operations and academic endeavors are not just good policy—they are acts of generosity toward the world we all share. Let’s continue to embrace this broader definition of philanthropy, where every action to conserve is an act of giving. 🦁💙

Is 2024 the year your company decides to participate in 1% for the Planet? 🌎1% for the Planet is a program that asks businesses to donate 1% percent of their total sales to help protect the natural world. GreenWeaver Landscapes based in Greater Philadelphia is an outstanding example. In 2023 and again in 2024, they’ve chosen to make impactful contributions to Natural Lands and an array of other non profits in our region. 🌳Learn more about GreenWeaver's story, the 1% for the Planet program, and how businesses can give back to nature on our blog.

Question: what does the future of Queenstown's mountain bike industry and community look like? Answer: well, it's complex. There's so many factors at play: the non-endemic pine forests that are suffocating native species, the existence of legal and pirate trails that change the landscape, the global community that gathers here during the summer. Not to mention the events, athlete facilities, access, equity, and the economic benefits to the town. I think most mountain bikers can agree that riding gives us a connection to the natural environment that we might not have other wise. And that when we play in the forest, we truly feel a part of te taiao (the natural world). But if we put a lens of protection and regeneration over our recreation, there's some clear issues that need to be addressed in the basin. Forward Whakatipu aims to be a platform for learning, discussion and collaboration. Asking: how can we come together to solve these issues with all stakeholders—including community—to build a bright future for mountain biking in Tāhuna Queenstown, whilst also taking care of the environment for future generations? Many of these stakeholders are already doing amazing work. So how can we collaborate to amplify these actions? QTMBC, Queenstown Trails, Te Tapu o Tāne, Queenstown Lakes District Council, Love Queenstown Community Fund, Wilding Pine Control Group, Department of Conservation (DOC), W.O.R.D, Sustainable Queenstown, Wakatipu Reforestation Trust, Arrowtown Choppers, Huddl, The Lightfoot Initiative, Mana Tāhuna Charitable Trust, Wakatipu Community Foundation, Protect Our Winters New Zealand.

This week has bookends—two important celebrations: Earth Day, on Monday, April 22, and National Arbor Day, on Friday, April 26. The planet we live on brims with amazing natural wonders, and this week is a great time to celebrate our world and give a little back. Not sure how to do that? Here are five ideas: 🌎 Donate to an organization that supports the environment. It can be any organization, big or small: ocean conservancies, recycling centers, forest foundations, wildlife sanctuaries or clean air task forces. Figure out what you love most about the Earth and find an organization that aligns with your passion. 📍 Contact your local town or city to find out how they are celebrating. Maybe there’s a local festival you can attend, or perhaps they are hosting a clean-up event. Some towns offer free trees to plant, and others have information on ways you can make your home more environmentally friendly. ♻ Get on trend and go thrifting! "Upcycling" is all the rage on social media, and it also reduces waste and cuts down on transportation, which helps our environment. Next time you need something, head to your local thrift store before buying new. Alternatively, you can donate your old items to your local thrift shop! Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to clean out that hall closet. Instead of throwing items away, go donate! 💰 Support your local businesses! Whether you buy your produce from a local farm, get your next gift from a boutique featuring local artists, or eat at a restaurant down the street, spending your money in your community can help preserve our world for years to come. 📚 And the best way to support the environment? Read about it! Get the family together and read about a topic you all love. I’ve always loved trees, so I wrote a book about them, called "At the Tippity Top." It’s the story of a Bristlecone Pine at tree line, and what she thinks her life would be like if she were a different kind of tree. It's a great way to learn a few fun facts about a variety of trees! (And it's available at some local libraries, if you really want to reduce and reuse!) If we all do one small thing to support the environment this week, think about how much impact we’ll make! 🌳 ❤️ What is your plan? Share your thoughts in the comments!

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced budget cuts that, if enacted, will essentially wipe out #communitycomposting infrastructure in #NYC, as well as threaten widely used #foodwaste drop-off sites operated by GrowNYC at Greenmarkets throughout the city. “NYC has long been a leader not only in #composting, but community composting … that keeps the composting process and #compost use local, while offering community engagement and education opportunities,” according to Institute for Local Self-Reliance. ILSR’s 2022 Community Composter Census identified New York as home to the largest concentration of community composters in the U.S.—a thriving ecosystem of local businesses, environmental nonprofits, and neighborhood gardens. #climate

The The Surfrider Foundation can’t organize a beach clean up in Newport Beach on July 5 (the trashiest day of the year) because of permitting restrictions. The day after our cannabis lobby day in Sacramento, I joined up with ocean conservationists to lobby for the ocean as well. There, I learned about AB 2038 and AB 2939, which reduce permitting restrictions on nonprofits. If you live in California, can you do the planet a favor and call or email your representative real quick? Find your rep: https://lnkd.in/guMjTPXN Here’s a draft to copy & paste: I am writing to express my strong support for AB 2038 (Quirk-Silva) and AB 2939 (Rendon), which are crucial for enhancing access to and the quality of our state and local parks. Importantly, I would like to emphasize the necessity of granting nonprofit organizations better access to help keep our beaches, coastlines, and parks clean for all Californians to enjoy. Nonprofit organizations like the Surfrider Foundation are essential in maintaining the cleanliness and environmental health of our public spaces. However, current permit restrictions often prevent these groups from performing critical cleanup activities when they are most needed. For instance, on July 5th, the day after Independence Day, Newport Beach is inundated with trash, yet permit restrictions prevent the Surfrider Foundation from conducting their much-needed cleanup efforts. AB 2038 aims to expand outdoor equity programs within our state parks, and AB 2939 seeks to enhance interpretive services in county and city parks, which help participating park visitors to understand and connect with natural, cultural, and historic resources of a local park and are not generally offered by the local entity . These bills are significant steps towards fostering a greater connection to the outdoors and promoting environmental stewardship. However, to fully realize the potential of these initiatives, we must also ensure that nonprofit organizations have the necessary access and permissions to carry out their vital work in keeping our natural spaces clean. Allowing these groups easier access to our parks and coastlines will not only help maintain cleanliness but also support their broader educational and outreach missions. Facilitating more frequent and effective cleanups ensures that our beaches, coastlines, and parks remain safe, clean, and enjoyable for all Californians. These measures will empower community organizations to contribute more effectively to the stewardship of our natural spaces, ensuring they remain pristine for future generations. I urge you to support AB 2038 and AB 2939 and to work towards removing unnecessary barriers that prevent nonprofit organizations from carrying out their essential work. Together, we can create a cleaner, more equitable, and sustainable future for our state’s cherished outdoor spaces.

Outdoor Alliance is one of the outdoor industry’s greatest assets. If you’re a brand, there’s no better organization to align with; if you’re an outdoor enthusiast, this is the non-profit deserving of your donations. For 10 years, Outdoor Alliance has united the outdoor recreation community to achieve lasting conservation victories. These include protecting millions acres of public lands, billions in funding for the outdoors, and converting more than 100,000 outdoor enthusiasts into outdoor advocates. I have dedicated almost 5 years now to volunteering on their Board of Directors because OA fundamentally sees recreation as a conservation tool and genuinely unites different stakeholder groups in their coalition. 92% of recreationalists rely on public lands, yet only 19% make stewardship (advocacy, volunteer work or donations) an annual habit. Let’s close the stewardship gap by supporting this organization’s incredible work for the next 10 years! #outdooralliance #protectpubliclands Access Fund The Surfrider Foundation American Whitewater American Canoe Association International Mountain Bicycling Association Winter Wildlands Alliance The Mountaineers American Alpine Club Mazamas The Colorado Mountain Club
