In today's competitive landscape, engaging in corporate conservation is emerging as an innovative approach to meet both business and environmental needs. Indeed, corporate spending on sustainability and circular economy initiatives is on the rise - and yielding increased sales and cost savings. Demonstrating leadership in corporate conservation is crucial to meeting sustainability goals and achieving stakeholder collaboration.

Wherever land and water comes together, you are likely to find a wetland. These complex ecosystems provide habitat for wildlife, protect our coastlines from flooding, store massive amounts of carbon in their soils, and offer great recreational opportunities. Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm, Ariana Sutton-Grier, and their colleagues at the University of Maryland's Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC) are learning about threats to wetland ecosystems and working to find solutions.

This 2-minute "explainer" shows how tiny plastic microbeads are designed to go down the drain and into our rivers, lakes, and oceans and we can do to stop this ridiculous assault on our public waters.

You can use [this model] to explore how the rate of carbon dioxide emissions affects the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and Earth's climate. You can also explore scenarios for future climate using the model with more detailed instructions.

Most of us wear synthetic fabrics like polyester every day. Our dress shirts, yoga pants, fleeces, and even underwear are all increasingly made of synthetic materials -- plastic, in fact. But these synthetic fabrics, from which 60% of all clothing on earth is made, have a big hidden problem: when they're washed, they release tiny plastic bits -- called microfibers -- that flow down our drains, through water treatment plants, and out into our rivers, lakes and oceans by the billions.

A series of podcasts and articles describing the human impact on plastics, our carbon footprint, and different recycling programs across the United States.

Salt marshes are among the most ecologically productive and diverse ecosystems in the United States. They provide important services such as floodwater storage and storm protection for coastal cities such as New Orleans. Healthy marshes also serve essential roles in carbon sequestration, a service of primary concern at current emission rates of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, nutrient removal and water purification.

The founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup spoke with CNET's Stephen Beacham about his latest endeavor to catch plastic pollution in rivers across the world. The Interceptor has already been deployed in two rivers and is actively collecting plastic debris before it reaches our oceans.
