This collaboration focuses on reducing textile waste, redistributing clothing to people in genuine need—through transparent, direct connections.

Like five-year-olds at Disneyland, they all want infinite rides—but there are only so many rides and tickets to go around. Do they rush from ride to ride, or take a break for corndogs instead?

But as we begin our preparations, shouldn’t we look back at our old bins or explore some DIY channels before we rebuy those fancy lights this year? Indeed, their cuteness is undeniable.

Duke University Climate Week Feature How can we better protect our coastlines in a world of rising sea levels and intensifying climate impacts? Ethan Cho, a current student at Duke University and a Greener is Cleaner alumnus, has been working to answer that very question.
