Earth Day Summit 2023 in Los Angeles Where climate issues meet climate solutions in a one-day summit dedicated to making earth day every day for all who participate. Los Angeles, California (Friday, April 21st, 2023 from 1 pm- 5 pm) — Earth Day Summit, an annual in-person one-day event dedicated to elevating climate action, will be at the California Market Center in Downtown LA this year. Recycle2Riches and CMC are the hosts of this year's summit, they are inviting like-minded creatives, climate experts, and activists to showcase innovative solutions to the green economy. Strong sustainable actions happen just by purchasing a general admission ticket to The Earth Day Summit. Climate action with general ticket purchase: $20.00 One Tree Planted locally in California Carbon Neutral Travel Voucher with GoodWings A Take Back Bag from For Days “I created a collection of curated vendors, speakers, and VIP guests from across California to show closed-loop solutions that are truly ethical, sustainable, and good for mother earth,” says Earth Day Summit’s creator Ashleigh Morgan Dawson. “We have a repair section, sustainable marketplace, Mendocino Farms Catering, Composting area, Closed loop Barbershop, and more.” In attendance at the California Market Center will be sustainable enthusiasts, climate press, influencers, and VIP ticket holders. Upon arrival, attendees will be treated to a sample of Drink Marquis, pure plant power, and order their lunch from Mendocino Farms. VIP ticket holders will get to shop the Swag Bag gifting section and everyone will get to enjoy the hour-long climate expert panel. The summit has a goal of being carbon-negative, plastic-free, and accessible for all. “With every year comes new innovative solutions for the green economy, I am obsessed with finding those and bringing them to the ordinary consumer,” says Ashleigh. “ Recycle2Riches is on a mission to change the culture of consumption through communication, collaboration, and community education.” Earth Day Summit 2023 in Los Angeles is dedicated to making earth day every day for all who participate. This one-day event is created to empower conscious consumption from brands and humans. This is an opportunity for climate action, collaboration, communication, and community education. A tribute to the sustainable business owners, creative activists, and innovators that have made everyday earth day for themselves. We hope to be a space anyone can come to learn about climate solutions and create small actions that can change their culture of consumption.

Waste #reduction + #diversion is everything when it comes to changing our culture of consumption. ♻️ First, we need to #reduce our waste, then we need to find ways to #divert our waste from landfills. #Composting is an amazing example of waste diversion. 🪱🌱 Instead of having food waste go into the landfill + produce greenhouse gasses like methane, composting turns our food waste into soil! 🪱 Ways you can divert food waste with composting: If you live in a city that accepts compost in the green bins you can use the city for an easy solution. Organizations like @lacompost actually has local drop-off locations around Los Angeles. 📍 @compostable.la will pick up your compost from your house! No need to do anything. 🤝 Like the city bin, this is easy because it’s picked up for you. 1 BIG difference between the city bin vs @compostable.la is where the waste is diverted. ~Compostable LA believes in keeping it local and making the waste into soil. ~The City Bin is turned into low-emission fuel. It goes into a biodijester and get’s the methane extracted so our city can technically run on almost zero carbon, zero emissions fuel. R2R recommends composting at home whenever possible. Companies like @subpod + @eve_growing are all about helping people compost in almost any space. 🌱🪱 Not one method is right or wrong. However, composting at home is the perfect example of a #closedloop lifestyle. Check out all of these companies and let us know how you compost at home! ♻️

A CASE FOR LIMITING TOTAL FOOD PRODUCTION FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION Steve Salmony Few experts in population biology, related fields of science, demography and economics appear ready and willing to see what is in front of naked eyes. Too many experts have confused cause and effect and thereby vitiated the coherence of mind and clarity of vision required to sensibly interpret evidence of whatsoever could be objectively correlated with reality. As a consequence, they appear to find the ecological science of human population dynamics simultaneously unbelievable yet virtualy irrefutable. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/226928770_Human_Population_Numbers_as_a_Function_of_Food_Supply, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227269417_Human_Carrying_Capacity_Is_Determined_by_Food_Availability.) We do not have a food production problem. Food harvests are abundant; food is sufficient to feed the human community plus many more. The problem is food redistribution. Granted the fair and equitable redistribution of available food to the human community writ large would lead in all likelihood to a temporary, exacerbating increase in absolute global human population numbers; however, limiting total global food production that humans consume would in the course of space-time return Homo sapiens to balance within the natural world. Consider biomimicry, the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes. For a moment let us assume that nature has the answers to the problems human beings have induced by relentlessly increasing the human food supply, and must now confront and overcome. By following the laws of the natural world, by changing our way to conform with nature, humans would consciously and deliberately mimic nature's way where we find that all resources (including food to feed a growing population) are categorically limited by the size and finite resources of the planet which is our planetary home, the house humans have filled beyond its natural carrying capacity through the massive deployment of complex systems and inventive technologies. One of the worst mistakes of the second half of the 20th Century has been and continues to be generated by the United Nations. A delusion in the form of a meme, or unquestioned cultural transmission, has been viewed as real and spread virally by misusing the imprimatur of science upon which the meme is not actually based. Large scale human organizations have held tightly to versions of the same meme prior to this time period. Most experts became captives of a satisfying false cultural transmission: humans must continuously increase food production to feed a growing population. This misperception/misconception of reality cloaks our view of the way the world really works with regard to the population dynamics of all species within the evolutionary 'tree of life', including Homo sapiens. There are hallmarks that define a deluded cultural transmission. They include political convenience, economic expediency, social suitability, religious tolerance, and legalization. All seem necessary for a false meme to become culturally prescribed. Purveyors of false memes willfully ignore the questioning of ideas upon which their misinformation is based --- a hallmark of science. Without the support of science we find ourselves in a festering haze of delusion. With regard to its population dynamics, our evolving memetic species has a vital task. Substitute a scientifically founded meme for the unquestioned false one. Then the new meme would be: increases in the total production of food for human consumption lead to a global population increase of H. sapiens. We would acknowledge not only that we have a food distribution problem but also a problem derived from our tragic failure to use available ways and means to prevent unwanted births humanely. How the human community chooses to act in response to this daunting predicament is something others more capable than I will have to address and find a way to overcome. Years ago, before the 21st century began to unfold, my spouse advised me not to communicate the ecological science of human population dynamics until I had a solution to the existential situation disclosed by the evidence. I told her then and say to all now, I do not have answers to the thorny questions or solutions to difficult problems the heretofore uncontested science raises. Please allow me to add the belief that any program of action to rein in the size of the human population by limiting the human food supply must begin by taking simultaneous steps to feed the human community as well as to save the flourishing of life (i.e., biodiversity) as we know it. It is neither necessary nor sustainable to continue increasing food production to feed a growing human population. To the contrary, such a determination ultimately carries with it profoundly harmful consequences. In the case of H. sapiens the species eats itself out of house and home. Steven Earl Salmony, Ph.D., M.P.A. is a retired practicing psychologist. In 2001 Steve founded the AWAREness Campaign on the Human Population to raise consciousness of the colossal threat that the unbridled, near exponential growth of absolute global human population numbers poses for life as it is known to us. His campaign has focused upon the best available science of human population dynamics and the topic of human overpopulation of earth in our time. He can be reached at sesalmony@aol.com.

This app is similar to We Don’t Have Time, instead of reviews they give you small climate actions every day. Climate action apps like this help organizations and individuals take true climate action, everyday, right on their phone. Every action you take earns points, and when you’ve earned enough points, they plant a real tree on your behalf. The actions you are encouraged to take on the app include, contacting you’re elected officials and CEO’s to take climate action, Tweeting an influencer or celebrities to use their platform for good and so much more. Climate Action Now App has done all the work for us and now we just have to take the action. You can even make a Planet-Saving Subscription with them. It's the easiest way to make a difference for yourself and the planet. With each subscription, Climate Action Now plants trees, reduce carbon emissions, and preserve vital ecosystems on your behalf using certified projects. Be proactive in your activism and download the App. It is the easiest way to take Climate Action Now :) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/climate-action-now/id1497924893

Hemp can be used to produce thousands of products. I employ you all to learn about it and explore the opportunities it presents. For example, hempcrete (not a concrete substitute, rather an insulation product) is comprised of hemp hurd and hydrated lime – it is a carbon negative product.

Each time I visit any of ICAs grocery stores I am very disappointed with seeing this big company wrap each and every single pepper in its own plastic. This is just a waste of plastic and adding to the huge amount of plastic use the world does not need. WRAP recently published a report adressing this issue, concluding that wrapping fruit and vegetables in plastic does not lead to less food waste by makung the fruit or vegetable last longer. Instead, the wrapping leads to more food waste as many costumers buy more food than they need. Therefore, I believe that ICA needs to stop their plastic wrapping.

We do use plastic around some of our products to increase durability and thereby decrease food waste. However, we strive to minimize packaging material as much as possible and to make it easy for the customer to recycle the packaging correctly. We also work hard to reduce the amount of plastic and use plastic made from renewable raw materials. Our packaging strategy includes clear goals for recyclable packaging by 2025 and recycled or renewable material by 2030. In addition, we are constantly looking for new solutions to protect our common environment and reduce the use of packaging.

Food Waste in the USA: It's a BIG issue that can be SOLVED with many small actions. USDA says over 30% of the food supply is wasted. The number one way to solve food waste is composting. ♻️🌱 Both municipal and home composting are importantin reducing our food waste. We prefer encouraging our community to try home composting! That way, all the nutrition from the food, you were going to waste, reverted right back into the soil. Healthy soil will heal our earth from the inside out. Recycle2riches.org has a long-term goal to build a closed-loop community with zero food waste. 🥑🥬 Check out our mission page to see more food waste solutions! https://www.recycle2riches.org/pages/r2r-community Comment below any questions you have about food waste or trying home composting💬

Public developments on the California coast would be required to capture carbon in wetlands or other natural systems under an Assembly bill that calls for projects to add "blue carbon" measures to their mitigation plans. Blue carbon refers to coastal habitat such as wetlands, marshes, kelp forests and eelgrass beds that capture and store carbon in soil, plant matter and the sea floor. AB 2593, authored by Assemblymember Boerner Horvath, D-Encinitas, would require projects on public lands to compensate for greenhouse gas emissions by building or contributing to blue carbon projects. "It's a way to develop our coastline, while protecting some of California's remaining unique important areas," Boerner Horvath said. "Instead of damaging them, we can double down and reinforce the things that are really valuable—seagrass, flora and fauna." If the bill passes, it would add blue carbon mitigation to the suite of factors that the California Coastal Commission considers when it approves coastal permits. Under California law, any project that affects coastal resources must take measures to avoid or minimize its negative impact. If it can't avoid that entirely, developers must offset the effects of the project with mitigation measures that replace or restore the resources it will damage. For projects that affect tidal or ocean habitat, that may include planting new eelgrass beds or restoring marshland. For instance, efforts to widen Interstate 5 along the San Diego County coast have been accompanied by improvements to San Elijo Lagoon and other wetlands it crosses. Now such mitigation plans focus on improving habitat for native plants and wildlife, along with building amenities such as trails and bike lanes. Under Boerner Horvath's bill, blue carbon would become another factor the Coastal Commission would evaluate. "Her bill would add the carbon sequestration impact to the consideration of what mitigation we would require," said Coastal Commission Legislative Director Sarah Christie, who noted that the commission has not taken a position on the bill. The new rules would apply to any projects on public land, which might include marine projects such as offshore wind, offshore oil and gas platform decommissioning, underwater pipelines, cables, marinas, ports and docks, Christie said. Dredging, aquaculture operations and coastal bridge and roadwork could also fall under its provisions. Officials with the San Diego Association of Governments, a regional planning agency, declined to comment, saying they were not familiar enough with the bill to say how it might affect ongoing transportation plans or other public works projects. Boerner Horvath and Christie said there isn't an estimate now on how many projects the bill could affect or what the costs would be. Boerner Horvath said the bill was inspired by the coastal geography of her district, as well as recent revelations about the role coastal habitat plays in the planet's carbon balance. "I've always been interested in blue carbon," she said, "I think it's a function of the district, which has so many lagoons." Boerner Horvath said as she learned about carbon sequestration she realized the opportunities in her own backyard. "I learned that salt marshes sequester more carbon than trees," she said. "I'm an environmentalist, I'm a mother, and I want to make sure there's a healthy planet for my kids." Tidal marshes such as those found along the lagoons on San Diego County's coast sequester carbon in deep layers of soil. These ecosystems capture carbon at a rate two to four times greater than tropical forests, according to the Blue Carbon Initiative, a coalition of international scientific and educational organizations. Seagrasses are submerged, deep-rooted meadows found on shorelines, which store twice as much carbon as terrestrial forests. Kelp forests have also recently been identified as blue carbon sinks that rival other coastal flora in their ability to catch and hold carbon in their fronds. A 2020 study in Nature Scientific Reports found that kelp beds around Australia account for more than 30 percent of total blue carbon stored and sequestered around the Australian continent, and about 3 percent of total global blue carbon. Blue carbon habitats are also some of the most biologically productive places on Earth, brimming with fish, shorebirds, crustaceans and insects. And they can counter the effects of climate change by buffering storm surges and reducing flooding. Boerner Horvath introduced the bill in February, and on April 5 it passed the Assembly Natural Resources Committee on a 7-3 vote. "It's a pretty commonsense measure that has strong bipartisan support," she said. AB 2593 will continue through Assembly committees before going to the full Assembly and then Senate for a vote. Boerner Horvath said she hopes to see it signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom later this year, and take effect Jan. 1 of next year. https://phys.org/news/2022-05-california-bill-require-blue-carbon.html

It will make many people be responsible for plastics they use and avoid throwing plastic bags, bottles everywhere.

I support the idea too ... If we make environmental conservation profitable more people will participate hence achieving more results
