A few years ago, I remember testing out ChatGPT for the first time. My initial reaction was thinking it was pretty cool, but personally, I didn’t see myself using it all that often. Now, we’re in the midst of an AI space race, with a multitude of companies trying to leapfrog each other developing the latest and greatest models and releasing AI agents to infiltrate every corner of our lives. Is this another industrial revolution that will lead to huge productivity gains and economic development, or is the bust just waiting to happen? I’m not into making predictions but I think we’re heading down an uncertain path where the risks are much greater than the reward.

For our first post in Sustainable September, we take a look at the R’s of Sustainability. Commonly paired together with the chasing arrows symbol (♻️), Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is the typical tagline or call to action to think about our waste and to be more sustainable. I think there is value in the symbol and the phrase, as it is easy to remember and the symbol stands out. Do you know the story of how the chasing arrows symbol was developed?

Summer is over and it’s time to start watching the leaves turn, so that means it’s time for Sustainable September! Similar to Plastic-Free July, this is our attempt to make September a month of sharing sustainability tips throughout the month, along with a few special events. You can check out the

Sustainable September page on our site for everything planned for the month.
