🍃The Sustainability Top 10

Hi 🖐,

Continuing the theme this week of sustainability startup accelerators, I am sharing two articles of accelerators created and sponsored by corporates (Google and major food companies). Also, we have crossed the 10% threshold on global EV 🚗 penetration and maybe started a sustained decline in gasoline use in the USA. And several green startups are getting big money and big names behind them, including Gates, Bezos and Ma supporting a very peculiar startup 😉. And I am also including two major sustainability rankings issued in the last couple of weeks with pretty different results. Here are The Green Tea's Top 10 actionable, innovation, and hot sustainability stories this week! 👇
