Animal protein production contributes significantly to climate-altering gases. However, a new generation of companies is developing innovative meat alternatives, including plant-based options and lab-grown cells, which boast much smaller environmental impacts. Major investors like Bill Gates, Cargill, and Tyson are backing these "clean meat" technologies.

These emerging food choices are now available in restaurants and grocery stores. The critical questions are whether these options will achieve mainstream adoption and effectively reduce the carbon pollution destabilizing our climate. #letstalkclimate Learn more at climateone.org and this event page.

Center staff recently visited the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve near Mexico City, witnessing millions of eastern monarchs overwintering. These butterflies are now stirring, preparing for their great migration in March.

The annual count revealed an astounding 225 million monarchs, a 144% increase from last year and the highest since 2006, largely due to favorable weather. This breathtaking sight moves many to tears.

Despite this increase, continued existence requires more protection for these migratory wonders and their habitats from pesticides, climate change, and destruction. Witnessing this spectacle strengthens our resolve to save them.
