Good News for Humankind 🌏Get a spark. Be the spark. Vermont plastic bag use dropped 91% following banVermont banned single-use plastic bags in July 2020, after lawmakers passed the measure in 2019 to curb mounting plastic pollution. A study from the University of Vermont found the ban reduced plastic bag use by 91%, with most residents shifting to reusable bags despite a small rise in paper use. Public support has remained strong, with 70% of Vermonters backing the law, and researchers credit grassroots advocacy and clear rules for its success. Vermont’s experience shows how well-designed legislation can reduce waste, protect ecosystems, and inspire broader action against plastic pollution worldwide.
From PeterHi beautiful people, I am going to try something new, at least for a little bit. Starting today, I am going to send you a good news article and short piece of writing every weekday, instead of just Monday mornings. I have a few intentions here. First, maybe a more regular check-in will offer you even more inspiration and encouragement in these dark times. Second, maybe a shorter format will fit better into your busy schedule and make it all more digestible for you. Lastly, maybe the most consistent structure will inspire me to lean a little further into my writing and communication. I am feeling excited to get into a more regular flow with it and see what happens. As always, thanks for reading. I'd love your thoughts and reflections on the new format.
