Hello reader,
Earth Day was last weekend, and it’s got me thinking about my own impact on the environment.
While I try my best to reduce, reuse, and recycle, sometimes I fall short – especially when it’s easier to just toss things into the trash can instead of rinsing containers out and bringing them down to the recycling point. I’m trying, but it’s definitely an ongoing process.
Against the backdrop of climate change, it’s heartening that some of the top-funded firms on this week’s list are doing things that make a positive impact on the environment.
We’ve got a greentech company focused on clean energy, a firm that’s developing electric vehicles, and a micromobility startup that will hopefully help make folks less reliant on cars.
Here’s to a cleaner, greener world.
