🇺🇸 Today is Indigenous Peoples Day! Since the 1990s, a growing number of states have begun to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day — a holiday meant to honor the culture and history of the people living in the Americas both before and after Columbus's arrival.
The world's first 'upcycled skyscraper' is a finalist for the coveted Earthshot Prize
When the owners of Sydney, Australia's AMP Centre wanted to replace the original 1970s structure with a bigger, better, and more energy-efficient building — they also wanted to do it without demolishing the old building.
The "new" building now stands 676 feet tall and retains 95% of the original building's core as well as 65% of the original building's structure, including beams and columns. The process saved more than 12,000 tonnes of embodied carbon, the equivalent of 35,000 flights between Sydney and Melbourne.
It was completed in 2022, but was just named one of 15 finalists for Prince William's fifth annual Earthshot Prize, a coveted competition that celebrates big ideas aimed at tackling climate change.
Why is this good news? While companies may resort to demolition as a "cheaper" option when constructing new buildings, they're not considering its steep environmental costs. This project "proves that retrofitting buildings that have stood for decades offers a commercially viable and scalable solution to decarbonizing the built environment."

The first to call these lands home, Indigenous people in America continue to make the country a better, thriving place. Here are just some of their stories to celebrate today:
Through "DeTours," Hawaii's Indigenous communities are working to educate settlers and tourists alike on Hawaii and its colonial past and present, and creatively raising awareness about decolonization.
A South Dakota Y.M.C.A. branch worked with an Indigenous tribe to develop a tiny home project to help address the reservation's housing shortage. (Gifted link)
Indigenous farmers are reclaiming time-honored agricultural techniques to achieve food sovereignty, or the right to healthy and culturally appropriate meals produced locally using sustainable methods and agricultural practices.
📱 You have to watch the Nobel Peace Prize winner get the call. (Reels)
What's good?
I was absolutely fascinated reading the story about that upcycled skyscraper!
How would you feel about a building being upcycled rather than demolished?
