We've been heating water the same way for over a century. This leads to 100,000s of gallons of wasted water every year, and significant energy inefficiencies.

Enter Jerry Callahan and his company Heatworks - inventors of a new technology that heats water instantly within 1° F of the setpoint and uses a fraction of the energy.

According to some reports, animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gases than all of transportation combined. Not only that, animals are a very inefficient way to convert plant calories to meat calories (their current function in the food system).

For example, chickens require 9 calories of food to produce every 1 calorie of meat. That’s a staggering loss, and pigs and cows are even worse (~15 and 25 calories, respectively).

Enter Aylon Steinhart and his company Eclipse Foods - inventors of the first plant-based dairy products that require no sacrifice, ever. “It’s not a dairy alternative, it’s a dairy sequel.”

The global toothpaste market is huge. In 2018, it was valued at $26 billion and is expected to reach $36 billion by 2024. Unfortunately, it also comes with an enormous cost.

More than one billion toothpaste tubes end up in landfills and oceans every year. That’s equivalent to fifty Empire State Buildings — every. single. year.

Enter Lindsay McCormick and her company, Bite - the world's most sustainable oral care company on a mission to eliminate single-use plastics, one smile at a time.

We've seen the headlines. "Plastics expected to outweigh fish in the ocean by 2050." "Marine life are choking on plastic." "Microplastics found in our food, water, and getting into our bodies."

But plastic isn't the true enemy. Products designed for a *single use* are the root problem. It’s why most things we buy become waste in the first place and end up in landfills, our oceans, and our soil.

Enter Tom Szaky and his company Terracycle, the new-age waste management company recycling the non-recyclable and solving our single-use crisis.

A significant portion of all food grown ends up in a landfill. It’s a problem the UN says costs the world ~$2.6 trillion each year, much of which stems from produce going bad before it’s consumed. Spoilage is also the reason why millions of people around the world go hungry — without cold storage infrastructure, the produce can’t stay fresh long enough while it’s being transported to rural areas.

Enter Apeel Sciences, the company who’s developed a plant-derived, edible coating that can keep produce from going bad for weeks longer than usual, even without refrigeration.

A third of the world's food goes to waste, in large part because grocery stores refuse to put "ugly" produce on their shelves. “Onions that are too small, potatoes that are shaped like your favorite celebrity, and carrots that fell in love and got twisted together.” By some estimates, this amounts to nearly $1 trillion of annual waste and the emission of ~8% of all human-caused greenhouse gases. At the same time, millions of people go hungry every day.

Enter Abhi Ramesh and his company Misfits Market, the online grocery store selling sometimes funny-looking, always delicious produce, designed to break the cycle of food waste.

Palm oil is everywhere. It’s in our food, clothes, shampoo, and even the fuel that powers our cars. But this $61 billion industry has drastic environmental and societal costs: up to 300 football fields of rainforest are cleared every HOUR to make room for palm oil plantations -- releasing CO2 into the atmosphere and destroying entire ecosystems along the way.

Enter Shara Ticku and her company C16 Biosciences, the Y-Combinator-backed startup creating the world’s first synthetic palm oil alternative.

Our cities are at the mercy of an industrial food system that ships in high-calorie, low-nutrient, processed food from thousands of miles away. It’s destroying our health and the very planet on which it relies.

Enter Tobias Peggs and his company Square Roots, the urban farming pioneer on a mission to reinvent the farm and how we feed the world.

Plastic was meant to last forever, but most is only used once. 14 billion pounds of our trash is dumped into the ocean each year and it’s breaking down into tiny pieces of plastic that’s showing up in our food and water supply.

Enter Sarah Paiji Yoo and her latest venture Blueland, a new type of CPG company taking on the global plastic problem.

When you hear the phrase “climate change” what comes to mind? Just last week, the UN published a report indicating the world’s food supply is in imminent danger due to climate change. And it seems like every day there’s a new headline about a future like this.

So what can we do about it?
