    The Aspiration community is supporting pollinator agroforestry in Haiti. Not sure what that means? In a nutshell, pollinator agroforestry is a sustainable farming method that promotes biodiversity and benefits pollinators (like bees 🐝). This helps grow in-demand products and boosts local economies. In Haiti, the project Aspiration is supporting is a honey-optimized model that has been co-created with partners, farmers, and honey producers 🍯 Thank you to everyone who is enabling this important work!* Photos courtesy of veritree *Aspiration Debit Cards are issued by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to a license by Mastercard® International Incorporated.

    It’s easy (and very human) to be concerned and frustrated that our leaders aren't doing enough, moving fast enough, or worse, willfully ignoring the climate problems that we can all see and feel.  According to Tibetan Buddhist teacher Mingyur Rinpoche, one antidote to climate despair is gratitude. Just like flexing your hope muscle, gratitude can be a daily practice. Another well-known antidote is action. ⚡️ Speaking Up, Redirecting Your Money, and Using Your Vote are three of the most important (indirect) climate actions you can take. They raise awareness of the problem and help activate others. You can pair these actions with others, such as joining a group and taking climate action at work. Project Drawdown has many resources on these climate actions. Head to the “Discover” section of our website and simply search for what you are interested in! Let us know your thoughts on these resources in the comments below! What can we add? What can we improve? https://lnkd.in/gkBZZMgG #climatesolutions #projectdrawdown #climateaction #sustainability

    Aspiration customers are funding incredible work in Haiti through our Plant Your Change program*. In partnership with veritree, Prosperity Catalyst and Fanm Limye, this Haitian community is planting trees and setting up beehives that help our planet and provide economic benefits through the sale of honey and beeswax. This is what they are singing in the video: "We are wozo, wozo we are, they may cut us off, they may even cut our root, when the rain comes, we will flourish and grow back!" Wozo is a reed that grows throughout Haiti - and is a great metaphor for the resilience of the Haitian people. *Aspiration Debit Cards are issued by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to a license by Mastercard® International Incorporated.

To help them in this important work, we are donating 10% of all our ‘Pay What Is Fair’ contributions to the effort over the next 6 months.* Stay tuned for more details over the coming days and weeks! *Aspiration Debit Cards are issued by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to a license by Mastercard® International Incorporated.

The wozo can be knocked over by wind or flood, and it will right itself; wozo can be broken off, and a new shoot will grow; wozo can be cut to the ground and burned, and it will grow back, stronger than ever.  veritree Mother Trees Fanm Limye S.A John Leary
