Given that the next eclipse is in 2045 for the lower 48, in the meanwhile, where do all these eclipse watching glasses go?

Hopefully not the trash!

Easiest way to $35M: The City could reduce unnecessary and duplicative spending on assets (=stuff).

Rheaply could help our City govt with this, as we are in other cities.

CAN WE TRY REUSE, PLEASE?! IT KINDA WORKS.

Entrepreneurs choose a rough and chaotic path in life. They work insanely hard for sometimes decades to build their startup.

Why?

Because they’re driven by purpose, love building, and hope their hard work will pay off. Shout out to the crazy ones out there.

With inspiration from K. griffin, here’s my letter to investors of Earth (=humans):

“It is irresponsible for any govt to allow a 1.5C increase in an already carbon-abundant environment…it’s unsustainable.

We must stop emitting carbon at the expense of our future generations.”

🚀 Big news for the DMV! Our DC Reuse Marketplace is now live, sponsored by VisaNews. It's time to buy, sell & donate goods sustainably. Let's make DC a zero-waste city! buff.ly/3vArll5 #Sustainability #DCReuse #CircularEconomy

Excited to announce one of our first keynote speakers for TechChicagoWeek this summer!

Please help me welcome Dr. Mae Jemison - the first ever Black woman astronaut to go to space. Born and raised in Chicago.

TechChicago 🚀

also I just love the city of Chicago

LongJump wouldn't exist without Techstars Chicago. We're sad to see the city program leaving, but we wanted to write a bit of a thank you to Techstars, sharing some of the history & impact, as well as our plans for the future.

Pro-tip: buy an office chair used.

The graves of hundreds of companies are littered with old office supplies that they must get rid of. I got my Herman Miller Aeron from a failed crypto startup in Boulder for like 200$.

Today, in Chicago, I’m wearing a linen shirt.

It’s also February.

11 ways to go circular in 2024! And don’t forget that recycling is almost always the loop of last resort 💥

The climate crisis is the greatest issue of our time.

It represents our failure as a species to properly manage the finite resources we have on this planet.

To suggest life on Earth is invincible and our resources are infinite is nothing short of ludicrous.

Maybe (not) controversial: I’d rather be in -5 Chicago rather than anywhere in Texas at ~18F any day of the year. If it’s snowing or 100F, I’ll take Chicago over most big cities.

Turns out you can live in Chicago all four seasons without some important infrastructure failing.

“But by all means, keep moving.”

Or, re-Use on Rheaply.

In our galaxy, the Milky Way, there are ~400 billion stars and ~20 billion planets.

Most physicists best guess is that on Earth resides the only civilization in the Milky Way.

That means we humans have an enormous responsibility, both here and beyond.

Let’s act like it.

Happy new year!
