This 3-Hour Card Game Finally Made Climate Change Make Sense
|
The Eco ExperimentNewsletter by The Eco Loop Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like climate change is just... too big to understand? You know it's real. You know it matters. But when you try to wrap your head around all the science, the data, the jargon - it just doesn't stick. You end up feeling more overwhelmed than empowered, right? Here's the problem: Most climate education bombards us with information without helping us truly connect with what's happening. We're drowning in facts but starving for understanding. The solution? The Climate Fresk - This game is changing how 2.1 MILLION people worldwide understand climate science—and it's nothing like what you would expect! By the end of this newsletter, you'll discover:
"I'm excited to share what I've learned, and I promise you won’t want to miss any part of it! Stick with me until the end!"🌱 The Eco Sheroes PodcastThe Card Game That's Giving People Climate BreakthroughsOkay, so imagine this: You walk into a room, sit down with a deck of cards, and three hours later - you FINALLY understand how climate change works. No boring lectures. No confusing graphs. Just you, excited colleagues playing the game with you, some cards, and an incredible "aha!" moment. That's Climate Fresk! I just released the latest episode of The Eco Sheroes Podcast, and WOW—this conversation with Mia Tahan and Corona Fontana, experienced Climate Fresk facilitators, will take you through the entire process of this fun game :) Here's what makes Climate Fresk so powerful:
The magic lies in the "head-heart-hands" approach—something you'll understand after watching the episode :) Whether you think you know nothing about climate change or you're already deep into sustainability, this conversation will show you why everyone — from corporate teams to blue-collar workers — is having transformative experiences with Climate Fresk. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on YouTube and Spotify or listen on Apple Podcasts!

I used to toss things in the recycling bin and just... Hope for the best. I had NO idea what actually happened after collection. So I decided to find out! I visited the REE (Reecycle.app) waste sorting facility in Dubai, and what I discovered completely transformed how I think about recycling! I documented everything in a TWO-PART vlog series where I take you on the whole journey: Parts 1 & 2 show you: ✓ The exact process of how plastic gets sorted by color and type (HDPE, LDPE, PET) And here's what might interest you most - their membership costs just the price of ONE coffee per month! They come to your doorstep every week between 9 AM and 5 PM to collect your pre-segregated waste. This isn't some vague "we recycle things" system. This is transparent, data-driven, and actually WORKS! 📺 Watch Part 1 here: 📺 Watch Part 2 here: Trust me, after watching these, you'll never look at your recycling bin the same way again! Let's Talk Cleaning Products—I Need Your Input!Just a few days ago, a friend messaged me that she has moved into her new home and wants to use eco-friendly cleaning supplies there. She asked for my help, and I was overjoyed to hear that she is finally convinced to make this healthy switch :) Every time we use conventional cleaning products loaded with harsh chemicals, we're not just polluting our homes—we're polluting our waterways, too! Those chemicals wash down our drains, flow into our oceans, harm marine life, and eventually cycle back to us through our water system. It's a cycle we need to break! Switching to eco-friendly cleaning products can dramatically reduce this toxic burden on our own health and, of course, the planet. They're gentler on our skin, safer around kids and pets, and honestly? Often more affordable than you'd think! Soon, I will create a comprehensive guide covering:
