Updates from around the reef.

Dear Lonely Whale community,

These past few weeks have been filled with immense environmental and social challenges. If you’re like me, you’re both exhausted by the enormity of the issues and invigorated by calls to action such as this one from the brilliant Leah Cardamore Stokes: “Let’s dig in today to shift the system—and tomorrow and the day after.” Yes, let’s do exactly that.

Our team at Lonely Whale is tripling down on our work.

We launched the Tom Ford Plastic Innovation Prize call for innovators earlier this spring and on August 19th we’re launching our Unwrap the Future Live discussion series where I host incredible experts as we dive deep into solutions. And we released the inaugural issue of our OH-WAKE Magazine, written by youth leaders and for youth leaders. You can learn more below.

Lately, when I find myself feeling tired, I have turned to the pages of All We Can Save, a beautiful anthology featuring stories from female climate leaders. I have been so inspired that our Lonely Whale team is launching an All We Can Save Circle - an opportunity to create community with one another, find meaning and dig in to shift the system together. Learn more below!

Warmly,

Dune Ives

Tom Ford Plastic Innovation Prize - Submissions Are Open!

~180 billion single-use, non-recyclable thin-film plastic polybags are used every single year by the fashion industry. 🤯

The Tom Ford Plastic Innovation Prize [[link removed]] opened for submissions on May 18th to find a biologically degradable solution to thin film, which contributes to almost half of plastic waste in our oceans. With more than 100 applications in process, we are very optimistic about finding commercially viable, scalable solutions that meet Prize criteria. Finalists will be announced by February 2022. Submissions close October 24th.
