🌎The Most Cost-Effective Charities

Welcome to the week!

In case you missed it, the newsletter has a shiny new name: It’s Called Science.

I’m so excited to continue to improve and grow this thing, and so thankful to all of you for coming along for the ride.

You can read more about the change (and other very exciting changes at INI) here — this is just the beginning!

Ok, now let’s get to what you came for.

This week:

• 🐝Solar farms for bees

• 🫄Doula access is rural areas

• 👕Lab-grown cotton

•  🚢The US Navy goes online with Starlink

• And more

Have a great week,

— Willow

“You led me to join the Terra.do Climate Change Learning for Action Fellowship a couple of years ago, which has been critical in shifting my personal and professional journey!”

“I talk it up, occasionally donate.”

New Shit Giver Windy is here because “I’m an educator (first a middle school teacher, now a corporate trainer and performance advisor) with lifelong curiosity, and I’m always looking for ways to be more informed. Science news, in particular, often gets buried or misrepresented.“

At your service! Thanks for being here.
