Impactfully No. 24: Fighting climate change at the dinner table
This week, Ohio makes inroads on reducing food waste, a new NASA satellite helps detect climate change hot spots, and water access joins the mental health conversation. I'm getting serious Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs vibes.

One minor administrative note: Revue, the newsletter platform we use to slide job opportunities into your inbox each week, is shutting down in a few weeks. Revue is owned by Twitter, and you can probably connect the dots from there... 😅
We'll be switching to a new platform in the coming weeks and we'd love your feedback. What do you want to see in the newsletter and what can you live without? What kinds of jobs are you looking for? We're all ears: just drop us a reply!
Happy New Year, fellow change agents! Let's get after it. 💪
