If you ever had pastries at breakfast, drank soy milk, used soaps at home, or built yourself a nice flat-pack piece of furniture, you may have contributed to deforestation and climate change.

Every item has a price—but the cost isn’t felt only in our pockets. Hidden in that price is a complex chain of production, encompassing economic, social, and environmental relations that sustain livelihoods and, unfortunately, contribute to habitat destruction, deforestation, and the warming of our planet.

Approximately 4 billion hectares of forest around the world act as a carbon sink which, over the past two decades, has annually absorbed a net 7.6 billion metric tons of CO2. That’s the equivalent of 1.5 times the annual emissions of the US.

Conversely, a cleared forest becomes a carbon source. Many factors lead to forest clearing, but the root cause is economic. Farmers cut down the forest to expand their farms, support cattle grazing, harvest timber, mine minerals, and build infrastructure such as roads. Until that economic pressure goes away, the clearing may continue.

In 2024, however, we are going to see a big boost to global efforts to fight deforestation. New EU legislation will make it illegal to sell or export a range of commodities if they have been produced on deforested land. Sellers will need to identify exactly where their product originates, down to the geolocation of the plot. Penalties are harsh, including bans and fines of up to 4 percent of the offender's annual EU-wide turnover. As such, industry pushback has been strong, claiming that the costs are too high or the requirements are too onerous. Like many global frameworks, this initiative is being led by the EU, with other countries sure to follow, as the so-called Brussels Effect pressures ever more jurisdictions to adopt its methods.

The impact of these measures will only be as strong as the enforcement and, in 2024, we will see new ways of doing that digitally. At Farmerline (which I cofounded), for instance, we have been working on supply chain traceability for over a decade. We incentivize rule-following by making it beneficial.

When we digitize farmers and allow them and other stakeholders to track their products from soil to shelf, they also gain access to a suite of other products: the latest, most sustainable farming practices in their own language, access to flexible financing to fund climate-smart products such as drought-resistant seeds, solar irrigation systems and organic fertilizers, and the ability to earn more through international commodity markets.

Digitization helps build resilience and lasting wealth for the smallholders and helps save the environment. Another example is the World Economic Forum’s OneMap—an open-source privacy-preserving digital tool which helps governments use geospatial and farmer data to improve planning and decision making in agriculture and land. In India, the Data Empowerment Protection Architecture also provides a secure consent-based data-sharing framework to accelerate global financial inclusion.

In 2024 we will also see more food companies and food certification bodies leverage digital payment tools, like mobile money, to ensure farmers’ pay is not only direct and transparent, but also better if they comply with deforestation regulations.

The fight against deforestation will also be made easier by developments in hardware technology. New, lightweight drones from startups such as AirSeed can plant seeds, while further up, mini-satellites, such as those from Planet Labs, are taking millions of images per week, allowing governments and NGOs to track areas being deforested in near-real time. In Rwanda, researchers are using AI and the aerial footage captured by Planet Labs to calculate, monitor, and estimate the carbon stock of the entire country.

With these advances in software and hard-tech, in 2024, the global fight against deforestation will finally start to grow new shoots.

With our surf truck operational, we can continue to offer accessible surf lessons to those who need them most, building a sense of community and empowering future surf enthusiasts.

While our determination has brought us this far, we now need your support. We're not just seeking donations; we're inviting you to join our mission and make a difference in the world.

Here's How Your Support Will Make an Impact:

1. **Mechanical Restoration**: Your contributions will directly fund the necessary mechanical repairs to ensure the truck is safe and dependable. This includes addressing past-due vehicle registration, smog certification, and obtaining new tags.

2. **Outreach and Inclusivity**: With a fully functional truck, we can expand our reach to underserved communities, offering surf lessons to individuals who might never have such an opportunity otherwise.

3. **Environmental Initiatives**: We are committed to environmental stewardship. Your support will enable us to invest in eco-friendly practices and promote a sustainable approach to surfing.

Join Us in Creating Positive Change:

We believe in the ripple effect – a small action can create waves of positive change. By supporting our cause, you're not only helping us get our surf truck back on the road; you're also helping us continue our mission to inspire and uplift others through the power of surfing.

Every dollar counts, and your contribution, regardless of its size, is a step toward revitalizing our dreams and making a profound impact. Together, we can ensure that Sofly Surf School continues to ride the waves, and together, we can create a better world, one wave at a time.

Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us keep our mission alive.

Tumblr Post No 4

Hello again and welcome back to a new topic

In today’s topic it will be about crowdsourcing and crowdfunding

Maybe some of you might have heard of crowdfunding but not everyone has heard of crowdsourcing. What exactly is crowdsourcing? The words "crowd" and "outsourcing" are combined to form crowdsourcing. A corporation outsources its own work processes when it uses crowdsourcing. As a result, it is a separate type of labour division. This has more to do with business procedures like gathering ideas for new goods than it does with traditional outsourcing (Thieringer, n,d). In other words, outsourcing is letting work be done by outside sources. For example, when a company hires someone outside of the company to do a specific work for them instead of letting the people from the inside do the work. This effort saves money, able to access people with specific skills needed for the work and gives a company more time to focus on core activities. Crowdfunding on the other hand is easier to understand. According to European Union (n,d) One method of generating funds to support initiatives and enterprises is through crowdfunding. It makes it possible for fundraisers to use online platforms to gather money from a big number of individuals. This is mostly used by companies that are planning to startup or for projects that need the funds to proceed with production.

So, is crowdfunding and crowdsourcing are beneficial? Well, not exactly, every aspect in life has their own pros and cons. Same with crowdsourcing and crowdfunding, they both have their own cons. Lets start with the pros and cons for crowdsourcing. One of the pros is that it saves costs. Next is fresh perspective, brand promotion, new hires and hands-off approach. For hands-off approach. This stands out most for the pros of crowdsourcing. Despite having many resources at their disposal, time is usually not one of them for CEOs and company managers. The manager of a standard R&D project must continuously monitor the team's performance and make sure they are achieving deadlines (Bakire n,d). Companies usually would have to supervise each assignment that are given respectfully but with crowdsourcing, time is not an issue as there are many people who can access the task would make sure they do the work properly and quickly following the given time. The cons for this are confidentiality, plagiarism, potential for failure, amateurs and intellectual property rights. According to Bakire (n,d) if this deficit is not adequately handled, it could turn disastrous. Intellectual property rights usually belong to the person who came up with the idea. This implies that businesses must make sure they receive the winning idea's intellectual property rights after the challenge is over. To make sure that there are no further issues for the winning idea, the company must ensure that there is an agreement for both the company and the outsource individual.

Next is crowdfunding. One of the benefits of crowdfunding is that it is communication oriented. This gives people who give money or investors in other terms updates on any progress. Secondly, crowdfunding means not giving up equity. According to Startups (n,d) when purchasing a crowdsourced product, consider the audience to be similar to investors. Instead of equity, these investors are receiving benefits. This is far safer approach than asking for a loan from the bank. However, it does have its own risks. Third, it creates a network effect. It is true that you can generate a strong network impact on a funding portal that you cannot obtain by just keeping your fundraise hidden, even if we will argue that funding portals do not discover investors for you (Startups n,d). This really helps expand the network for each investor. Meeting new people could possibly be beneficial. Moving on to the cons of crowdfunding. Crowdfunding does not help find investors. Even while thousands of millions of potential backers may be registered on a funding site, that doesn't mean they are all swarming to your particular fundraiser—or any fundraiser, for that matter. Nobody is dying to spend endless hours searching a website in the aim of losing their money (Starups n,d). That mean, if a specific project and or a company wanted funds to startup their business. They would have to to find a solution to attract other people to invest in their business or projects. Similar to other companies and projects. All the fundings must be convincing for the investors so that they feel like their investment is not a waste.

To conclude, crowdfunding and crowdsourcing both rely on outside sources. It does bring benefits that could help with a specific activity at a low cost. This action also helps to generate and bring in new and innovative ideas that could help with improvements. Although it does have its own cons. With careful planning, it would be easier to work through the disadvantages.

A small selection of information on child poverty and abortion

Giving birth, instead of being able to access a wanted abortion, resulted in an almost four- fold increase in odds that a woman’s household income was below the Federal Poverty Level, and a greater likelihood of reporting not being able to cover basic living needs.

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2022/jun/28/tracking-where-abortion-laws-stand-in-every-state. As of July 1, 2022.

Oxfam map of low wages in the US. Source: https://www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/countries/united-states/poverty-in-the-us/low-wage-map-2022/

...Mississippi falls near the bottom of the assessment: 45% of workers earn less than $15 an hour (~$30,000 a year). More than half of all working women earn less than $15, and a full 70% of women of color earn less than $15.

In other words, in a state where women have no choice about carrying a pregnancy to term, many are also facing low wages and grinding poverty, no matter how hard they work.

Food insecurity is directly related to household income, family size, and precarity; and every time you chip away at the policies that support working families, you put more children at risk.

In the four states around Mississippi, more than one in four children lives in a food-insecure household.

A quarter of all children.

[all maps from link below]

Low wages trap people in poverty, hunger, precarity; refusing paid leave is dangerous to health and well-being; round-the-clock, unpredictable schedules harm families in countless ways; poor healthcare (including and especially sexual and reproductive healthcare) means higher maternal and infant mortality, and shorter life spans; and blocking organizing and unionizing fractures and disempowers workers. What is “pro-life” about that?

I did give birth to my children, and I don’t regret it — I love them more than anything in the world. But I was pushed down the path of motherhood by Christian conservatives who described themselves as “pro-life”. Pro-life meant convincing me to continue my pregnancy. It did not, as I soon found out, mean supporting me to raise my child when I lived in poverty.

Republican opposition has prevented Congress from passing nationwide measures like federally protected family leave and an extended child tax credit that would expand the social safety net, leaving various forms of support for low-income and vulnerable families up to each state.

Sex education and access to contraceptives reduces teen pregnancy, which is highly correlated to poverty:

Many teen parents face major obstacles, including poverty.

• Only 38 percent of girls who have a child before age 18 get their high school diplomas by 22.

• Two-thirds of teen mothers who move out of their family home live in poverty, and a similar share receive public benefits in the first year of their child’s life.

• Seventy-eight percent of children born to teenage mothers who never married and who did not graduate from high school live below the federal poverty level.

I was writing a post to respond to a nonsense meme about anti-abortion people caring more about child poverty than pro-choice and tumblr crashed and I lost the op.

So rather than hunt down the shitty post, now I'll just put this up here.

Nike Athlete Think Tank Welcomes Third Cohort, Expands to Include Elite Coaches

What to Know:

Expansion: Nike’s Athlete Think Tank enters its third year, now including 10 elite women athletes and four top-tier women coaches.

Commitment: This initiative reflects Nike’s dedication to redefining athlete partnerships and amplifying the voices of women in sports.

Investment: Nike will donate $1.7 million to organizations selected by Athlete Think Tank members, driving positive change through sport.

At the core of Nike’s values is a steadfast commitment to listening to athletes. For the past three years, Nike has reinforced this by learning from elite women athletes globally through its Athlete Think Tank.

A New Dimension: Coaches Join the Cohort

For the first time, the latest Athlete Think Tank cohort includes coaches from the highest levels of sport. This expansion stems from a key insight: to champion athletes, you must also support their coaches, understand their ideas, and address their unique needs.

The third cohort features athletes such as Alex Morgan, Alice Dearing, Kiki Rice, Laurie Hernandez, Nelly Korda, Oksana Masters, Romane Dicko, Sky Brown, Tunde Oyeneyin, and Yulimar Rojas. Joining them are coaches Emma Hayes, Jenny Lang Ping, Dawn Staley, and Diljeet Taylor.

Driving Positive Change Through Collaboration

“Alongside incredible athletes, the third Athlete Think Tank cohort includes some of the greatest coaches of our time,” says Tanya Hvizdak, Vice President of Nike Global Women’s Sports Marketing. “Creating positive change through sport is done through listening to the voice of the athlete and listening to coaches. I’m excited about the ideas and perspectives they bring and how we can partner to turn those into action.”

Over the past three years, the Athlete Think Tank has been a platform for athletes and coaches to share their insights, thoughts, and visions for a more equitable future in sports. This collaboration has helped Nike redefine the model of athlete partnership, emphasizing a two-way commitment that fosters candor, deep listening, and collaborative problem-solving. It has also led to new Nike products, athlete services, and support for community organizations aligned with athletes’ passions.

Continued Investment in Community Organizations

Nike is committed to breaking barriers to access and achievement in sports. This year, the brand will donate $1.7 million to nonprofits chosen by Athlete Think Tank members. Funds will support organizations such as Social Impact Fund, Central Carolina Community Foundation, Make Life Skate Life, and Charities Aid Foundation America, fostering positive change through sport. Since the Think Tank’s inception, Nike has invested a total of $4.4 million in community organizations.

“Nike’s investment in community and commitment to listening to women athletes signals the depth of the brand’s support for members of the collective as well as women and girls across all levels of sport," says Emma Hayes, U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team coach and a member of the third Athlete Think Tank cohort. “We have an environment where we can change things that are going to make a difference for future generations of athletes and coaches. It’s extremely inspiring and empowering.”

Looking Ahead

The Athlete Think Tank will continue its momentum with the formation of a fourth cohort of athletes and coaches later this year. Stay tuned for more updates on this inspiring initiative.

Hi! I'm running for President of the United States!

Okay, not really, this is just an experiment. Please read through my platform and answer the poll above.

(Oh, and if you vote No, please reblog and tell me why. I'm very curious.)

Here's my policy platform:

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the U.S. over the last four years. We have lost more than 1.1 million Americans to this deadly virus. The pandemic plunged the world into economic depression and high inflation rates. Americans are still feeling the effects today.

As President, I will endeavor to contain the pandemic by funding testing sites across the country and a national program to vaccinate our population efficiently and equitably. I will continue to make sure to keep schools and businesses open, with science-driven steps and solutions to address the problems created by this virus. Communities of color were hit especially hard, and my programs will address the discrepancies in care and support for these communities.

Climate

Climate change is perhaps the biggest crisis of the century. From pollution to changing weather patterns, America needs to be ready to meet the challenges climate change has created and will continue to create.

As president, I will mobilize a task force to reduce the effects of climate change. With science-driven solutions, we can reduce pollution, build sustainable infrastructure, and work toward net-zero emissions, by no later than 2050.

Racial Equity

The American Dream has always been about equality and freedom. For too long, systemic racism and barriers to opportunity have blocked Americans of color from reaching that dream.

As president, I will put equity as a central focus of my administration and embed racial justice in all of my policies and programs. I will strive to deliver criminal justice reform, increase outreach and programs for healthcare access and education, fight against discrimination in housing, and restore Federal respect for Tribal sovereignty. My plan includes decriminalizing marijuana and pardoning anyone with a federal conviction of possessing marijuana, which has disproportionately affected our communities of color.

Trans Rights

As president, I will fiercely protect our transgender community and listen to trans experts and organizations on all matters that concern the transgender community. I will commit to outreach and support for the transgender community, including creating task forces, increasing federal support for transgender-focused organizations, and fighting for legal rights and justice for transgender people. I will fund grants for transgender organizations and create training programs for law enforcement and healthcare professionals in order to improve rights and health outcomes for transgender people. 

Economy

Americans are struggling under the inequities in our economy. I plan to build on the Inflation Reduction Act, including continuing to invest in and implement clean and sustainable energy, keeping prescription drug prices low, raising taxes on corporations and our wealthiest citizens, and supporting our small businesses.

Minimum Wage

The Federal minimum wage hasn’t been increased since 2009 and is stuck at $7.25. This is not a livable wage, nor is such a low wage good for our economy. As president, I will push Congress to pass a bill to increase the Federal minimum wage to $15 and eliminate the minimum tipped wage.

Student Loan Debt

Student loan debt continues to plague Americans and hold them back from fully participating in our economy and live their lives to the fullest.

As president, I will continue to forgive billions of dollars in student loan debt for public colleges and universities, HBCUs, and MSIs. I will also fight to pass laws that protect students from predatory loans, interest rates, and for-profit colleges.

Unions

I will fight for legislation that expands federal labor standards to include more workers who can unionize. I will crack down on union busting and anti-union behaviors by companies and ban the use of striker replacements (“scabs”). I will protect the rights of workers and unions, which make our workforce and our economy healthier.

Health Care

As president, I will continue to protect and expand Americans’ access to affordable health care. I will build on the Affordable Care Act, expand Medicare, lower prescription drug prices, and protect access to birth control and abortion care. I will press Congress to pass a bill that codifies abortion rights into our Constitution. I will also endeavor to fund research on and find and implement science-driven solutions to our high maternal mortality rate, taking into account racial justice on this issue.

Additionally, I will guarantee 7 days of paid sick leave.

Families and Children

As president, I will offer an increase in the child care tax credit and create and fund programs for free child care for pre-kindergarten children. The U.S. is the only industrialized country to offer no paid family and medical leave, and I plan to fix that by creating a national program for 12 weeks of paid time off.

Immigration

Our immigration system has long been broken and chaotic. I believe that our country is stronger and safer with fair immigration policies that welcome immigrants, no matter where they come from or who they are. An immigration system that is easy to navigate, that is fair and welcoming and makes immigrants feel safe, will create a safer and more prosperous America.

As president, I will double the number of immigration judges and staff to serve, process, and welcome newly arrived immigrants, undocumented people living in the U.S., and refugees from all over the world. I will continue to see that families are kept together and safe and taken care of fairly and equitably.

Foreign Policy

As president, I will center all of my foreign policy on diplomacy, human rights, humanitarian aid, and supporting democracy all around the globe. I will build on our democratic alliances and work with foreign leaders to solve global problems, such as climate change, human rights, and accessible health care. Additionally, I will ensure that American businesses are able to compete on a global scale.

Gun Violence

I respect the fact that we have the Second Amendment, giving Americans the right to bear arms, but common sense must be central in our approach to guns and gun violence.

As president, I will push Congress to create legislation that will regulate guns and gun ownership in the U.S. I will push for universal background checks for all gun sales and gift giving, and for federal licenses for all firearm sellers.

Policing

As president, I will create a national commission on policing that will bring members of our police force and civil rights activists together to solve the problems in our broken police system. I will demand accountability from police officers and push Congress to pass bills to ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants. I will require body cameras on all officers that must be turned on and functional. I will establish a database of police officers to track misconduct and push for training standards that include racial profiling, implicit bias, and intervention.

I have many more policies that I believe will help all Americans and residents of the United States. A vote for me is a vote for change!

Thank you for your consideration.

EDIT: Oh! And if you want to ask me questions about my policies before you vote, please reblog and do so.
