Julia Collins launched PlanetHAUS to combat sustainability's branding crisis, where it's often perceived as sacrifice rather than an upgrade. Inspired by Toni Cade Bambara's call to make revolutions "irresistible," Collins recognized that despite advanced data and products, consumer desire for sustainable living was lacking. PlanetHAUS tackles this by leveraging design, consumer culture, and immersive pop-up events to present sustainable choices as an appealing, desirable lifestyle. These curated, home-like experiences demonstrate that planet-friendly products can be beautiful and pleasurable. Initial events garnered immense success, with 100% of attendees reporting a changed perspective on sustainability. Collins aims to expand PlanetHAUS globally, proving that responsible living is an upgrade, not a compromise, thereby seducing people towards a better future.

In her new essay, Catherine, Princess of Wales reflects on what children can teach us about love, connection, and emotional wholeness. Inspired by a visit to Reggio Emilia, Italy, she explores how nature, creativity, and patient, unconditional love help children stay grounded in the “real and felt” world, especially in an age where screens can make connection feel distant. The essay is both a call to protect childhood and a reminder for adults to reconnect with the openness, imagination, and sense of belonging we may have lost along the way.

On June 5 the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration opened in London with MURUGIAH: Ever Feel Like… as its inaugural solo exhibition, running through August 31st — and the choice of Murugiah to launch the Centre's first major show is not incidental.

The energy drink hasn't changed since the 80s. Jeff Boyd built the antidote — energy without the crash, focus without the jitter, and no synthetic junk.

From restoring lost masterpieces of world cinema to funding the early careers of filmmakers who have gone on to reshape American culture, the Golden Globe Foundationhas built a philanthropic model that is as ambitious as it is quietly effective.

There is a moment most homeowners know. You open the utility bill, scan the rows of kilowatt hours and demand charges and fuel adjustments, and feel the particular helplessness of a system designed to confuse you. You don’t understand it. You were never supposed to. And so you close it, pay it, and wait for next month to do the same thing again. That paralysis — the sense that energy is too expensive to fix and too complex to navigate — is exactly why, despite decades of falling costs and improving technology, most Americans have never seriously considered making the switch to solar. Loren Padelford finds impossible problems irresistible.

In a country where homelessness has become so normalized that most people walk past it without a second glance, a small cluster of homes on the edge of Newquay is making several statements: homelessness is not inevitable, the people experiencing it deserve dignity rather than warehousing and that the actors who can actually solve it have been sitting outside the conversation the whole time.

Last summer, at the UEFA Women’s Champions League Final, Jane Wakely noticed something she had never seen before. The stadium was full — not a single empty seat — and the noise had a different texture to it. Families. Fathers with daughters on their shoulders. Boys cheering for women. "It was so uplifting as an experience," she tells me. “Even when one team wins or loses, you usually get some rivalry, some crowd action. The whole stadium was joyous. I loved it.”

Stolpman is a Santa Barbara County winery that has farmed one of California's most distinctive terroirs in the Ballard Canyon AVA for nearly thirty years. La Cuadrilla — Spanish for "the crew" — is both its entry-level wine label and the name of the team that makes everything possible: 37 full-time farmworkers whose labor, livelihoods, and futures are woven into every bottle.

Twenty-one years ago, Probst founded Do Good Make Money — a consultancy built on one uncomfortable truth: wanting to help and actually helping are separated by a vast, underestimated distance. Her clients today include David Ortiz, Mariano Rivera, and Jose Bautista. 

There is a moment in The Price of Milk— a docuseries that premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival — where a Pennsylvania dairy farmer named Joe Cochran describes writing a $4,000 check to the federal government so that it could produce the famous “Got Milk?” ads he despised. "I get tired of people reaching their fingers into my wallet and taking money from me and I’m not getting anything back," he says. "To hell with it." It is the kind of raw, quietly furious line that no marketing department would ever write. Which is exactly why it works. And which is exactly why Oatly, the Swedish plant-milk brand, paid for the film that contains it.

That paradox — a brand funding journalism that doesn’t mention the brand — is the business Nicholas Bruckman has spent nearly 15 years building.

There is a particular kind of dread that settles in when someone very smart explains, very calmly, that the world as you know it may not survive the next decade. David Goyer — the writer behind the Dark Knight Trilogy, the showrunner of Foundation, Apple TV+'s epic about the collapse of a galactic civilization — knows that feeling intimately.
