🌎Everyone Has A Part To Play

Welcome to the week.

It’s Sept. 30, which is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada (that’s where I am, hello), a day to recognize the terrible legacy of the Canadian residential school system.

Check out the action steps below for some ways to participate in reconciliation today (even if you are not Canadian).

And now, the news.

This week:

• ⚡️Clean hydrogen policy

• 🧠Mental health, mapped

• 🧑‍🍳Climate-friendly chefs

•  💻️Locally-run LLMs

• And more

Have a great week,

New Shit Giver Joan is here because “I'm retired, I finally have the freedom to be useful. As the matriarch of the family it feels more important than ever to live by example. I'm truly afraid for the next generations…I believe climate change will be their biggest threat. I am but one voice but hoping this will help me find a way to use it .“

I love this. Welcome!
