As ABA practices grow, so can their administrative footprint. Smarter billing and documentation systems can reduce duplicated work, wasted staff time and inefficiencies while supporting sustainable growth. Meta description:

GLP-1 drugs are shrinking appetites and waistlines, but could they shrink our environmental footprint too? From fashion and food waste to lighter airplanes, packaging and transportation, Ozempic-era weight loss could have unexpected effects across the economy.

The Neptun of Marstal is more than a restored Danish sailing ship. Operated as a non-profit sail-training organization, it invites people of all ages to swap screens for sails, learn traditional seamanship and discover how caring for the sea begins by experiencing it firsthand. Along the way, strangers become crewmates, old maritime skills are kept alive, and the voyage offers a powerful lesson in environmental stewardship, cooperation and the enduring value of learning by doing.

Shawarma is one of the world's most popular street foods, but the greatest health risk may not be the meat, pickles or tahini. Scientists are increasingly concerned about PFAS "forever chemicals" and microplastics that can migrate from food packaging into hot, greasy takeaway meals. As awareness grows about hidden toxins in everyday products, even your favorite shawarma wrap may be part of a much larger environmental and public health story.

A coalition led by Frontier, backed by Stripe, Google, Salesforce and newly joined AI company Anthropic, has committed an additional $915 million to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Saving seeds from tomatoes, peppers, herbs and flowers helps preserve biodiversity, strengthen food security, and keep heirloom varieties alive. Even a small balcony garden can make a difference.

All air conditioners release water. That's Physics. Cities like Los Angeles pour billions of water down the drain every year. And while home owners who are savvy to water reuse are finding ways to use AC water in the garden (here are 5 ways to use air con water at home), or in art studios (it's basically free distilled water), cities could save water in meaningful ways by using creative ideas. These are solutions you can send to urban planners and those running smart city accelerator programs. Pick one of them and you might win the grant! 

Israel’s water and agricultural technologies didn’t emerge from ideal conditions. They were developed under pressure: low rainfall, saline water, political isolation, lack of energy resources, and the constant need to feed a growing population with limited land. Over the years, I’ve written about many of these companies not as miracle-makers, but as problem-solvers. That’s what makes them relevant to places like Somaliland. Israel was the first country in the world to recognize Somaliland as an independent state although Ethiopia has been treating the nation as such for decades.

Masdar is the the UAE’s flagship renewable energy company. Compare it to Neom in Saudi Arabia.

Masdar also buys companies, and paid $50 million for this US business Terra-Gen last year.

It’s easy to make this natural broth base yourself. Most or all of the ingredients are probably already lurking in your fridge and pantry. A food processor is the kitchen tool I recommend for making it; otherwise, be prepared to do some very fine chopping. I myself just feed everything into the food processor and let it whizz.
