📰 Climate News & Prompts
1. Where’s the snow?
If ski season feels a little… beige lately, this is why. Snow drought is reshaping winters, and that means changes for water, ecosystems, and your aprés.
Snows out, muds in. Show us why your ski trip might look a little different this year… 👀
2. It’s (pretty much) always about oil…
A clear, no-fluff explainer on what’s happening in Venezuela and how fossil fuels sit at the center of the story, again.
For democracy or for oil? Help your audience connect the dots between dirty fossil fuels and foreign affairs.
3. The First Lady of New York rented her inauguration fit.
A fun look into fashion x politics, and what it means when public figures choose borrowing over buying.
Show us your rented, borrowed, and secondhand fits that give class while still screaming vintage. 💃🏼
🎤 Creator Real Talk
If you’ve ever felt seen by a “single mom rap,” laughed through parenting chaos, or quietly thought “oh wow, I do that too” while scrolling, you’ve probably come across Jessica Rose.
We asked Jessica how sustainability shows up in her content and what keeps her creating. Here’s what she shared:
Q: How did you start creating content and what keeps you going?
“I actually started by blogging about my life as a single mom, but I wasn’t seeing too much traction. Then one day I posted a funny video of me and my daughter rapping on Instagram and it just took off! I started making parody raps and funny mom content, and that’s how I grew my audience. What keeps me going now is honestly the people. I didn’t realize how much sharing my story would make me feel less alone too. I feel like I have stories to tell, and I’m good at telling them in a way that makes people laugh, feel seen, and feel like whatever they’re feeling as a mom is okay.”
Q: How did sustainability and climate start showing up in your content?
“It’s funny because I didn’t even realize I was doing it at first. I was just sharing things like getting my daughter’s clothes on Facebook Marketplace, or being intentional about where we donate things, or choosing not to shop certain places. I always framed it as saving money as a mom, but then I realized, oh, I’m also not contributing to fast fashion or unnecessary waste. Going to a TED workshop helped me name that what I was already doing was connected to sustainability, just in a very everyday, human way.”
Q: A lot of people feel pressure to be ‘perfect’ about sustainability. How do you think about that?
“I’m definitely not a sustainability superhero. I’ve picked my things. I haven’t been to Target. I haven’t been to Starbucks. That’s my capacity right now. That’s where my dollars aren’t showing up. I think we’ve made sustainability feel very all-or-nothing, and that keeps people from even trying. But small changes still matter. If you recognize what you’re already doing, it becomes easier to do more over time.”
Q: What’s one thing about your creative process that would surprise your audience?
“I’m definitely not a sustainability superhero. I’ve picked my things. I haven’t been to Target. I haven’t been to Starbucks. That’s my capacity right now. That’s where my dollars aren’t showing up. I think we’ve made sustainability feel very all-or-nothing, and that keeps people from even trying. But small changes still matter. If you recognize what you’re already doing, it becomes easier to do more over time.”
Q: What do you hope people feel when they watch your content?
“I hope they feel seen. I want moms especially to feel like it’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling and still be a good mom. I hope people laugh, feel less alone, and maybe feel a little more gentle with themselves.”

We scrolled so you don’t have to. Here are a few posts that covertly or overtly spoke to climate this month:
Climate doesn’t care about your zip code, but Ugo cares about you saving on your home insurance. 👀
2 days, 100 lbs of recyclables, and $28 to make a kid smile with a new skateboard.
Skiing in 2026 be like…
We have so much coming this year, so stay tuned, and (as always!) reach out if anything sparked an idea.
With gratitude,
