Open for a surprise 💌

Hi Earthlings! We’ve spent the last week reflecting on all the events we attended last week. There were so many beautiful spaces we shared with our community, exploring action and hope, and where climate sits at the intersection of everything.

Atmos founder and editor-in-chief, Willow Defebaugh, puts it best — “It’s a massive gift and a privilege to be able to come together in spaces like this and see friends and symbionts from around the world you hardly ever get to see in person let alone all in the same place. and it’s so vital.”

This week we’re sharing an upcoming event we think is worth attending, followed by a special edition of Good News Tuesday. Surprise! This week’s newsletter subscribers get three bonus stories.

Earthed Summit: Our Future, Regenerated. A day of inspiring talks, workshops & panels showcasing accessible solutions for nature restoration and community revitalization followed by an afterparty.

Location: The Barbican, EC2Y London
Date: November 11, 2023
Tickets: £75.00- £400.00

The rules also push recyclers to reclaim critical resources like lithium. Grist
