You can help companies take real climate action in just 90 seconds
This is The Climate Win, the most positive sustainability news around the world every week.
You have a chance to play a crucial role in holding businesses accountable for their impact on the climate. Bonus: It’s super easy! All you have to do is submit a quick comment. It’s been a big week on the climate action front. Here’s what’s happening and why your comment matters — and how you can add your say in about 90 seconds.
The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering raising and standardizing its requirements for businesses to disclose emissions and climate risk, giving consumers and investors more insight into the climate impact of the money they spend. The SEC is currently seeking public comment on how to develop these more standardized requirements and whether they are necessary. This is where you come in.
The SEC released a series of questions to guide commenters, though those questions are intended more for investors than simple consumers. Why is the SEC asking for public comment about how businesses should disclose their environmental impact? This stems from what’s been a common theme in The Climate Win column over the past year: The everyday citizen increasingly wants to support companies that care about the environment, and this is encouraging businesses to release ambitious emissions reductions goals.
But it starts at the top, with the federal government. The Biden administration is prioritizing climate action. Businesses are responding in kind, with major brands like GM agreeing to work with the government in a long-term decarbonization push. And, both investors and consumers really want to know what businesses are doing to address their environmental impact. You likely spend and/or invest money with companies that would be required to disclose this information — so you should have a say in what they’re legally obliged to report.
Or, as Acting SEC Chair Allison Herren Lee put it in a public statement, “I am asking the staff to evaluate our disclosure rules with an eye toward facilitating the disclosure of consistent, comparable, and reliable information on climate change.”
The goal is to create a standardized reporting method based on tangible data, which companies can use to report on their environmental impact. This will reward companies that take concrete action by driving more customers to their business. When consumers know how to buy and invest in companies that are actionable on climate change, they increasingly do so. Data backs this up. In the energy sector, for example, Quartz just reported that global spending on renewable energy is reaching parity with expenditures on oil and gas. Just two years ago, investment in renewables was only a quarter of what went into fossil fuels. A drastic shift in consumer priorities has supported this increased availability of clean energy.
How to add your SEC commentWe’ve made it easy. You can copy the italicized statement below. It references the Science Based Targets initiative we wrote about last week, driving home the idea of specific, standardized, and measurable climate steps.
Go to the ruling’s public statement page.At the bottom of the statement, click on “Submit input: webform.”Fill in a couple of the lines, and then pop this statement into the comments box:I request that disclosure requirements be streamlined to follow verified scientific methods shown to reduce a brand’s climate impact, such as the standards set forth by the Science Based Targets initiative, in an effort to make measuring a company’s disclosure consistent and simple to understand for consumers and investors.
More climate winsEurope is moving full-steam ahead on climate action. Sweden announced this week it would increase airport fees for high-polluting planes landing at its airports, encouraging airlines to use newer, more fuel-efficient planes, The Guardian reported. The ruling comes into effect in July.
Off the mainland, the United Kingdom is now halfway to its net-zero emissions target, reaching 51 percent below 1990-level emissions in 2020 according to a report in CarbonBrief. The country’s plan is to reach net-zero by 2050, and it’s off to a stronger start than most wealthy nations.
Across the world, Japan is upping the ante on its 2030 climate goals. Like Britain, Japan also hopes to reach net-zero by 2050, and Nikkei Asia reported this week that it plans to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases 26 percent below 2013 levels by 2030, and to work closely with the United States in both countries’ effort to do so.

Thailand will lift quarantine for vaccinated travelers on this popular island
Thailand is taking steps to make traveling there more feasible, lifting quarantine requirements for vaccinated travelers on the island of Phuket.
On Friday, the country’s COVID-19 task force gave the island the green light to start receiving vaccinated travelers restriction-free starting in July, Reuters reported. The expectation is that, by then, the island will have vaccinated 70 percent of its own residents. As more Thai citizens become vaccinated over this year, more holiday destinations will have their quarantine requirements lifted.
To expedite this process, Thailand has ordered an additional five million AstraZeneca vaccine doses, as well as five million more Sinovac Biotech vaccines, bringing its overall vaccine total to 73 million doses. With the main vaccination drive slated to start in June, the country hopes to immunize half of its total population by the end of the year.
Thailand health official Kaittiphum Wongraijit told Reuters, “If we can inoculate 50% to 60% of the population we can open the country safely and move the economy and tourism forward.”
For now entry requirements remain strict, including mandatory quarantine for incoming international visitors.

World Bank to sell first-ever wildlife bond to grow rhino population
The World Bank will begin selling the world’s first conservation bond aimed at raising money to protect and grow South Africa’s endangered rhino population.
The wildlife bond will be a five-year, 670 million rand ($45 million) security expected to be sold later this year. The return on investment for those who purchase will be determined by the growth rate of the endangered animals in two South African reserves.
If the project gains traction and is successful, it could expand to other species such as Kenya’s black rhino as well as gorillas, tigers, lions, and more. The wildlife bond bridges the gap for those who want to invest and gain a profit while also making a philanthropic impact.
“When working on innovative structures like this one, we start small and hope to learn from the first one and then get successfully larger in an ambition to ultimately scale what works,” Marisa Drew, the chief sustainability officer at Credit Suisse Group AG, which is advising on the project, told Bloomberg.
The terms of the rhino bond outline that investors will forego the traditional annual coupon and instead receive their original investment and payout based on how much the rhino population grew over the course of five years. The principal and payout will both be paid by the Global Environment Facility — an organization that has garnered donations from more than 40 countries to date.
South Africa is home to the majority of the world’s rhino population. About 80 percent of the 29,000 remaining rhinos live in the country, most of which are white rhinos. Black rhino numbers have steadily declined from 65,000 40 years ago to around 5,500 today.

The first-ever all-women Machu Picchu trek will set off next week
In just a few days, a group of trekkers, guides, and porters are going to make history in the Peruvian Andes as the first all-women trekking team to tackle Machu Picchu.
The historic trip, scheduled for March 30, comes only a few years after Evolution Treks Peru became the first tour company to hire female porters at all in 2017. A majority of the women who now work the Machu Picchu circuit are Quechua women who are indigenous to the Andes and live in pueblos where the Inca Trail traverses. This trip will employ roughly 10 porters and two guides, all of whom will receive the same wages as their male counterparts: a little less than $20 a day, not including tips, which is roughly double what women typically earn in Peru.
According to Sara Qquehuarucho Zamalloa, one of the two women to become the first female porters on the Inca Trail, both of whom will now join this trek as professional guides, “It’s not just about being a porter. It’s about empowerment. If can do the Inca Trail, I can do anything,” Zamalloa is reported as saying by Lonely Planet. Her fellow history-making porter turned history-making guide, Lucia Merclajuly Vela Sosa, agreed, saying, “I’m excited because a pure women’s group means things are changing. We are proving we can do it without men.”
Due recent government restrictions, Zamalloa, Sosa, and company will not actually be hiking the iconic, four-day Inca Trail. Instead, they’ll take the Inca Trail to the Salkantay Trail and complete the trek in five days. And if Evolution Treks Peru has its way, this will be the first of many all-women Machu Picchu treks. Co-founder Miguel Angel Góngora Meza said, “We hope to do this every two weeks in 2021. And every week or more in 2022.”
Trekking to Machu Picchu is a feat for anyone. Accessing the sacred Inca citadel as part of the first-ever all-women trekking group is extra meaningful, not only to help shatter stereotypes but also to empower women, both financially and socially in the case of local porters and guides. So before they set out on the life-changing trek, we have just one message: Happy trails!

NASA developed a tire that never goes flat and could revolutionize your bike
A new bicycle tire built from NASA-developed alloy could completely revolutionize the bike tire.
The space agency’s airless shape-memory alloy has never before been used in a consumer product, but the NASA Technology Transfer Program — an initiative that sees the agency bring space-exploration technologies to the consumer — is working alongside SMART Tire Company to change that.
SMART Tire Company’s METL™ bike tire will be made from this metal-mesh material that is “elastic like rubber yet strong like titanium,” increasing the durability of the bicycle’s most important component. The company claims that its forthcoming tires will be physically unable to go flat. And, once you install them on your bike, the hope is that you’ll never have to buy another set of tires.

NASA invested over 12 years of research and more than $10 million in the technology, originally designed for Mars rover missions, so you know this stuff is the real deal.
“Cyclists will not be able to wait to get their hands on these cool-looking, space-age METL™ tires that don’t go flat,” said Earl Cole, CEO of SMART Tire Company, in a press release. “The unique combination of these advanced materials, coupled with a next generation, eco-friendly design make for a revolutionary product.”
METL tires are expected to be lighter and stronger than current tires, and will not require air pumping. The company is currently raising investment funds to bring this product to scale. It’s not known how long it will take SMART Tire to fund and develop these new tires, but one thing is certain — their development will put a large nail in the coffin of the oft-loathed and frequently-popped tire tube.

Amtrak routes through national parks
American trains are not the fastest in the world. They also severely lack the network of tracks necessary for people to ditch their car or forego flying to rely on them entirely for their domestic travel needs. But Amtrak has one big flex over the likes of Japan’s Shinkansen or France’s TGV: It crosses — slowly, for our viewing pleasure — some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the world.
Photo: Amtrak
Amtrak trains travel near or through 21 US National Park Service sites, including some of the most visited national parks in the nation. Some Amtrak train routes even have stations within national parks, so visitors can hop off and easily enjoy America’s stunning wilderness without the need to drive.
Below are six National Park Service sites that you can admire from the comfort of an Amtrak train window seat for the next time you crave a scenic train ride.
1. Glacier National Park, Montana — Empire Builder Amtrak route
Photo: Amtrak
Hop on the Empire Builder from Chicago, St. Paul/Minneapolis, Spokane, Portland, or Seattle, and get yourself a comfortable window seat (or sit in the first-come, first-seated Sightseer Lounge and stare out of the floor-to-ceiling windows if available). The train crosses the northern part of the state of Montana, including the wild and mountainous landscape of Glacier National Park. Amtrak does a little more than passing through, it stops right at national park at the East Glacier Park train station. The train station is just 209 steps from the beautiful Glacier Park Lodge, so you can step off the train and relax among the lodge’s rustic log pillars and open campfire-like fireplaces in a matter of minutes. Note that while the park is open all year long, the train station is only in operation from mid-spring until mid-fall.
2. Harpers Ferry Historical National Park, West Virginia — Capitol Limited Amtrak route
Photo: Jon Bilous/Shutterstock
The Capitol Limited runs between Washington, DC, and Chicago and departs six days per week (three days in each direction.) During the 18-hour ride, the train stops at the Harpers Ferry station in West Virginia, a depot that is part of the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park located at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers. The train rides over the famous B&O Bridge from Maryland into West Virginia over the rushing waters of the Potomac River, and offers beautiful views of the mountains of the Blue Ridge. Stop at the Harpers Ferry train station and take a guided tour of the historic town, or lace up your hiking boots and explore the 20 miles of trails within the park (including some across Civil War battlefields). Note that 70 percent of the park is forested so you won’t have any trouble finding peace and tranquility among nature if that’s what you’re looking for.
3. Saguaro National Park, Arizona — Sunset Limited Amtrak routes
Photo: Lucky-photographer/Shutterstock
There is unfortunately no train station within Saguaro National Park, but the Sunset Limited Amtrak route will take you right through this beautiful Arizona park. From your window or a seat in the Sightseer Lounge, you’ll get to see the impressive cacti and the desert colors and landscapes that make this park so special. If the view isn’t enough for you and you want to explore the park on your own, get off at the Tucson station — the entrance to the park is fewer than 15 miles away. The Sunset Limited will also get you in close proximity to Big Bend National Park (about 115 miles) if you hop off the train in Alpine, Texas. The Sunset Limited travels between New Orleans and Los Angeles and services San Antonio, Tucson, and Phoenix on the way.
4. Colorado National Monument — California ZephyrPhoto: Jacob Boomsma/Shutterstock
The California Zephyr runs between Chicago and Emeryville on the San Francisco Bay. On its 51-hour journey, the train travels through Colorado, a state that does not lack natural beauty. Right after the train leaves Denver Union Station to head west, passengers are in for some epic views of Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests on their left, especially around the Fraser-Winter Park depot and the Granby train station. From Grand Junction all the way into Utah, take in the grand landscapes that make the American West famous through Colorado National Monument.
5. Indiana Dunes National Park — Michigan Services
Photo: Wildnerdpix/Shutterstock
The six-and-a-half-hour train journey between Chicago and Pontiac offers some unexpected natural beauty along the way. Sit on the left side of the train and keep your eyes peeled for stunning views of the 61st US National Park soon after departure. Between Hammond-Whiting station and Michigan City station (the second and third station on the line), you’ll ride along the southern shore of Lake Michigan and across beautiful Indiana Dunes National Park, designated in February 2019. If you want to visit the park, hop off the train at Michigan City — you’re just a couple of miles away from the entrance and Mount Baldy.

This modern chic tiny house has two queen-sized beds, one on the ground floor and another in a loft space. It’s a charming place with a large farm-style dining area, an outdoor fire pit, and a ping pong table. Guests rave about the host’s hospitality and the rental’s location.

Photo: Airbnb
Named one of Airbnb’s most wish-listed properties, this rental might look like it’s in a secluded forest, but it’s actually in the heart of Atlanta. The treehouse is made up of three separate structures, a sitting room, a double bedroom, and a hammock deck. The bathroom is located on the ground level in the main house, which guests have private access to. One of the main draws of this rental is its natural surroundings and its open-planned layout.

An Airbnb Plus listing, this one-bed farmhouse is located near downtown but is hidden away in a peaceful wooded area. The white timber walls are accented with tasteful blue and green soft furnishings, artwork, and tiles. It comfortably sleeps four, but it is a perfect place for a trip with a loved one or for a solo booking.

Some frequent guests have made it a regular place to stay as it’s a super base for exploring the city.
Price: $99 per night
5. Charming cottage with Alpacas LlamasPhoto: Airbnb
This unique and charming cottage is located on a family-run urban farm that is home to a herd of alpacas and llamas.

The cottage is surrounded by dogwoods and pines, expansive perennial gardens, and an organic vegetable garden. The interior is stunning, with white timber-clad walls and brightly colored furnishings and textiles. There are many things to love about this property, but its porch (with a daybed) looks particularly welcoming as an ideal spot to relax with a book and hang out with some of the resident farm animals.

6. Vintage two bed airstream
Photo: Airbnb
This restored 1957 airstream is located minutes from downtown in the Grant Park area. It’s within walking distance from some of the city’s best coffee shops, breweries, a weekly farmers market, and a huge range of restaurants. The recent renovation sleeps three, but due to its open-planned structure, it would be a great place to rent for a couple or solo traveler. It’s described as a comfortable experience despite some limitations — the airstream does not have hot running water — but everything else from a fully functioning kitchen to a memory foam mattress makes staying here far from uncomfortable.
Price: $95 per night
7. Treetop view apartment in Candler Park bungalow
Photo: Airbnb
This studio is located on the second floor of a bungalow and is walking distance from the leafy Candler Park. The one-bed is spacious with 21-foot ceilings and a lovely porch with unobstructed city views. The decor is a pleasant blend of modern with antique accents.

Highlights include local favorite The Vortex Bar and Grill, The Porter Beer Bar, and natural food joint Arden’s Garden.
Price: $99 per night

In spring, Shenandoah National Park is ablaze with colorful wildflowers
The changing of the clocks this month welcomes spring and with that comes lighter evenings, perfect for late-in-the-day hikes and enjoying nature after the working day. One of the more special places to embrace the change of season in the US is Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, which is home not only to many hiking trails but also over 850 species of ephemeral flowering plants, many of which are special to the state of Virginia.
Spring-flowering ephemerals are wildflowers that have a short life cycle. They bloom, are pollinated, go to seed, and then become dormant again until the following year. The window for experiencing Shenandoah’s woodland wildflowers is between mid-March into summer. Seventy percent of the flowers you will see here are native to the US and welcome visitors with a varied display of color and natural beauty throughout the growing season.
Photo: Jon Bilous/Shutterstock
The first signs of blooming happens at a lower elevation in the park’s valley near bodies of water such as the South River, Hughes River, Rose River, and Mill Prong, and where the temperatures are warmer. During the beginning of the season, you’ll find violets, large-flowered trillium, pink lady’s slippers, and wild geraniums. People visiting later in spring will be blown away by the fields of pink azaleas and white mountain laurel.
As the season progresses into summer and fall, growth advances through the valley up onto the higher banks of Skyline Drive and the Big Meadows where columbine, milkweed, nodding onion, ox eye daisy, and wild sunflowers transform the landscape.
Photo: Jon Bilous/Shutterstock
It makes sense if you are planning a hike in Shenandoah to keep in mind the stages of growth in the park. Lower level treks are recommended in spring where you’ll find the beginning signs of life. The National Park Service has created an informative calendar plotting out the different varietals of wildflowers and their average date of bloom. When enjoying the flowers in Shenandoah National Park, please bear in mind it is illegal to uproot or make cuttings from plants in the national park system.
What types of flowers can you see now?Large-flowered trillium

The large-flowered trillium is one of the showier flowers in Shenandoah National Park. It can often take up to six years for a trillium to put out its first flower. The three-petaled white flower slowly turns a lovely light pink shade after it has been pollinated.
Star chickweed

Nature makes some beautiful spring bouquets in the woodland and one of them is the varietal of chickweed. The pretty little dime-sized flowers are bunched together throughout the lower levels of the valley, scattered across the woodland floor.
Violets
Photo: Takahashi Outdoors/Shutterstock
There’s quite a range of violets in the park and not all are actually violet in color. You’ll find the common blue violet but also a yellow and white species. Violets are pollinated by bees, and a lot of native solitary bees in Virginia are small and can fit easily into a small bud like a violet. These flowers are also important hosts for butterflies; the great-spangled fritillaries, for example, only eat these plants and rely on them for survival.
Jack-in-the-pulpit

Native in all counties of Virginia, this plant is very common in the park, but it has quite an unusual flower. The striped green and purple head can change sex every year depending on the nutrients in the soil. Male flowers can be identified as having one leaf and females have two.
Wild ginger
Photo: Gerry Bishop/Shutterstock
Wild ginger is easily recognizable by its heart-shaped fuzzy leaves. These are low-growing plants that like wet ground, so you’ll likely find them growing near rivers, streams, and water bars in the park. The flowers are quite hard to see, as they grow at the very base of the leaves. However, they are worth hunting for; their very beautiful three-pointed petals are dusty red-brown in color.
Golden ragwort

Golden ragwort is a member of the daisy family. This is a beautifully sunny flower and its height makes it easy to spot. There are other varieties of ragwort flowers in Shenandoah National Park, but the golden is the first to bloom.
Apple blossom

Apples are not native to North America. They were brought over from Europe long ago, but there are a lot of apple trees in the park, some of which are over a hundred years old. The flowers are large and pinkish-white in color, and the thousands of blooming trees throughout the woods make for quite a dramatic spectacle at this time of year.
Wild strawberries

Wild strawberries have a small pretty white flower that turns to fruit after pollination. The berry provides important sustenance for native wildlife in Virginia, especially the box turtle. Due to the size of the flower, it is often quite hard to see. To spot them, look around the bases of trees or fallen trunks.

Icelandair photo contest
Last Friday, a volcano located on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula erupted after being dormant for 6,000 years. Although the eruption is small and poses little danger to nearby residents, the phenomenon was dramatic nonetheless, inspiring many to capture it in pictures and drone footage. Now Icelandair is capitalizing on the event with a contest inviting people to submit their most creative “the floor is lava” photo or video for a chance to win a free return trip to Iceland.
In a Facebook post, the airline said, “We’re doing a giveaway in honor of Iceland’s impressive and hottest new natural wonder. Post your best ‘The floor is lava’ picture/video in the comments of this post for your chance to win a trip to Iceland! You know the game: imagine that the floor is made of molten hot lava and you must avoid touching the ground. We’ll pick 3 winners for 2 return flights to Iceland from any of our European or North American destinations. Comment until Tuesday, March 30, 4pm GMT and you might be able to explore Iceland’s nature yourself soon!”
The eruption itself might become the latest tourist attraction on an island that already has an abundance of them. Some, like Agust Gunnar Gylfason, the project manager at the Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management in Iceland, suggests the volcano may continue erupting for years for the delight of travelers. He told Reuters, “It could end tomorrow or it could still be going in a few decades.”
You can see the ongoing eruption in real-time online, but it won’t beat seeing the volcano erupting in all its glory, so get creative and you might just win this Icelandair contest.
