Famed breakfast hot spot Snooze, like many eateries, made a major pivot to take-out and delivery in the past year. The global pandemic put a spotlight on delivery transport, as well as customer travel to pick up orders, as a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. With this unexpected spike in emissions, Snooze offset delivery […]
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and accelerating the adoption of technologies and practices that reduce those emissions, are essential to Ben & Jerry’s strategy to meet its Science Based Target and overall climate goals. That’s why Ben & Jerry’s works with Native to identify, evaluate, and scale technologies and practices that reduce emissions across its supply […]
Native’s very own, Jonny Bearcub Stiffarm, has been busy spreading knowledge this season, and we wanted to share with our audience! Her first feature was in the April 2021 issue of Scholastic Storyworks in an article about the return of the buffalo. Check it out here. Her second appearance, a radio interview!

Native has a total of nine (and counting!) Hydraid® water filter projects located across the globe. These projects implement biosand water filtration technology to provide clean water to households who otherwise would have limited access or would be left to burn unsustainably harvested wood in order to purify water through boiling, a time-consuming process that […]
Regardless of staying home more often and traveling less, individuals don’t stop producing carbon emissions. Activities like powering our homes, buying food from the grocery store, and online shopping all produce some type of carbon footprint. That’s why it’s still important to purchase carbon offsets amidst a pandemic, and Popular Science compiled an article with […]
In September, Native took part in a webinar during Climate Week for a conversation with EILEEN FISHER and the Textile Exchange to highlight Textile Exchange’s Climate+ goal and gain insights into EILEEN FISHER’s path to Regenerative Wool for Climate. We also examined the ability to link climate, regenerative and social mission goals through an example in practice, […]
Native’s very own Kevin Hackett recently joined The Center for Pollinator in Energy’s Rob Davis, Clif Bar & Company’s Elysa Hammond and Sustainability Defined to record a podcast on the topic of pollinator-friendly habits and renewable energy. As pollinators play a critical role in our ecosystem and the food and products we enjoy daily, the […]
Building soil carbon by adopting regenerative agricultural practices like no-till cropping and rotational grazing is increasingly viewed as both an important way to combat climate change and as an exciting way for businesses to address their own carbon footprints. To support this effort, Native is developing several projects that support agricultural producers to adopt regenerative […]
Forum for the Future launched its research into the future of regenerative agriculture this March. Funded by the Walmart Foundation and informed by Eileen Fisher, Patagonia, and other leaders, the research presents a roadmap for catalytic action, “Seven actions to transform to regenerative agriculture.” Principal among these actions is financing, namely, finding effective ways to […]
New Food From Burger King Burger King recently announced they will sell a more climate-friendly beef for a limited time in Austin, Portland, New York and other select locations across the US. The beef will come from cows fed lemongrass during the last few months of their approximately three-year lives. We know when companies, such […]
In addition to sharing the work we are doing here at Native, we also like to highlight efforts done by other organizations that inspire us! Recently, we found this empowering article on Team Lioness, a team of women rangers protecting their traditional Maasai community land surrounding Amboseli National Park in Kenya. In our field, we […]
Last week, Bank of America announced its intent to expand its renewable energy commitment by partnering with multiple carbon offset providers and project developers, including Native, to develop offsite solar projects. Native firmly believes that reducing carbon and investing in renewable energy sources should be the driving factors in developing new projects and creating positive […]
