How do you celebrate Earth Day? 🌍 Earth Day should be every day. We agree. Today, though, at Scale Collaborative we celebrate our deep connection to our planet. We started Scale with a belief that we could shift our economy to be centered around people and the planet. We bring the implication that every economic decision must reflect what is right and just for the planet. It gives everyone the opportunity to shift any conversation to how this decision supports our Earth with love and grace. At Scale Collaborative one of the reasons we developed Thriving Non-Profits was to support organizations that are 100% focused on protecting and healing people and the planet, to have access to the tools, education, and strategic time, they need to be able to develop sources of sustainable financial resources they need to do their work. The more they are able to do good work, the better the planet and people are. 🌱 Earth Day is a time to celebrate our planet and raise awareness about environmental issues. To share ideas and generate inspiration. To have tough discussions on how we heal, protect, and care for the planet and people.  👉🏼 Tag a leader who's work in sustainability inspires you. #earthday #earthday2024 #environmentalstewardship #sustainability
