✊ Change is not only possible, it is urgently necessary – the time to act is now! This was the motto of the #globalclimatestrike last Friday. As the world's largest climate movement #fridaysforfuture we walked the streets for a more just and consistent climate policy.

🌍 Berlin, Duisburg and Wiesbaden – our team marched through several cities. In Berlin, alongside 100.000 people, we got the chance to show our support for two impressive women who accelerated this movement like no other: @gretathunberg and @luisaneubauer.

📢 For us, this strike is anything but a one-time event, since we're fighting for a greener and cleaner world everyday in developing and implementing #socialbusiness solutions for the environmental crisis. We won't stop to raise our voices: What do we want? Climate justice! When do we want it? Now!

📌 How can we strengthen #socialbusiness in the Amazon region to fight deforestation and preserve biodiversity? Our #amazonasverde program manager @Kate Carrillo will speak about solutions together with one of our portfolio social businesses @Julio Rozo, founder of @Amazonia Emprende on 30th September at 2 pm COL at @Camara de Commercio Cali.

🌱 Often referred to as the lung of our planet, the Amazon rainforest contains 40% of the world's tropical forest, serving as home for approx. 30 million people and 25 % of terrestrial biodiversity. The continuous increase of #deforestation presents a threat to the livelihoods of indigenous and local communities. We're convinced that they play a key role in finding solutions for preserving and protecting this unique forest.

💡 Albert Einstein, a widely known and acknowledged physicist, worked according to the motto: innovation usually doesn’t happen unless you change the way you’ve been thinking.

⭕️ In the same way we can't stop #plasticpollution in producing more and finding better ways to get rid of it but instead, we have to develop innovative solutions to transform our economy. At @yunusenvironmenthub we develop and support #socialbusiness solutions that follow the 7 R's: #rethink, #reduce, #reuse, #repair, #refurbish, #recover and #recycle.

🍃 Help us to promote a more sustainable way of living in taking responsibility for what we produce and use.

📢 "What we need is a paradigm shift in the Plastic Credit market."

👀 Systematic improvements of waste collection and treatment services are urgently needed. Plastic Credits have the potential to finance necessary infrastructure and adequate remuneration for all workers along the waste value chain. For that, we must integrate social justice and transparency in its accounting mechanisms – aspects that remain largely unconsidered in practice.

👉 How can we make waste management and recycling inclusive, transparent, and sustainable? Download the ValuCred report that we released today on our website.

💡 He reminds us that we have to power to use technology as a force for good: "We have to remember technology doesn't have its own mind, technology is driven by our minds."

👏🏻 Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who fought for India’s independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He saw deforestation as a replica of our attitude towards one another and ourselves.

🌱 To cut down trees without an immediate replacement will only worsen the current climate crisis we are facing today. This is why individual and collective actions to plant trees will go a long in helping curb this problem.

👏🏻 Peter Seeger, an American folk singer and social activist in his time also knew the importance of having a circular economy.

♻️ Having a linear system of production can no longer continue as this leads to overexploitation and minimal use of the limited natural resources we have.

🌍At Yunus Environment Hub, we believe in a world where the practice of a circular approach to production in all sectors of the economy is the order of the day.
