With the release of Website Carbon v3, the carbon footprint of our website has... exploded? A different version means calculations are made differently, so even though our website isn't actually producing more than it was, the number is still higher than we would like it to be. So, we're taking some time to try to get this number back down (and earn that sweet, sweet 'A' grade).

We're updating the shop (and adding more items)! We'll have more details available with our next Pixel Planet Today post (along with a holiday sales coupon..? 😊🌎)
So what are we up to now? We rolled out a bunch of website updates yesterday, and are planning on getting some more out tomorrow (adding Mastodon feed, places you may have seen our projects, and Privacy Policy features)
Sometimes we get so far in the zone that we forget to update you all on what we're actually doing (sorry about that... 😬). We're not perfect, but we're planning to change that. Starting this week, consider this our devlog/updates/what-we're-doing-now page/feed 🌎
Can't believe we forgot to mention(!), but we were/are honored to receive a Business & Industry Sustainability Award from Keep Nebraska Beautiful! We had an amazing night connecting with fellow environmental organizations and conservationists of all kinds. ❤️🌎

Cooling off in the ocean doesn't mean what it used to; Florida's Manatee Bay recorded 101 degrees Fahrenheit waters this week.

We're working with Plastic Free July! We made some digital stickers, Giphy stickers, and wrote a blog post to celebrate the month-long challenge!
Tomorrow is the start of Plastic Free July! Never heard of it? The challenge is simple: go the entire month without buying or using plastic products (especially single-use plastics). We're big fans of a plastic free lifestyle, but to prepare you for the eco-celebration, we made a blog post about the do's and don'ts of the month.

Who would've thought that the first flowering plant (that we know of) is still around today? Who would've thought it was endemic to a small sliver of Australian rainforest?

Hemp has more economic and environmental potential than most materials - but misconceptions behind what it actually is holds it back: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr4PRTNutk2/
Forests, wetlands, and the ocean all hold carbon, but did you know logjams do as well?!
