There is power in knowing that when we act, we never act alone. Is your archive doing something for Earth Day? Or are there any other actions you've been taking for the environment that you'd like to share? Let us know!
Today is Earth Day! This year's theme is 'Our Power, Our Planet', emphasising community participation as an important force for change - one that strengthens resilience and stability even when national priorities shift and reminds us that what helps one of us, helps us all
Our focus this year is the impact of AI on the environment. As AI grows more prevalent in our working lives, it's vital we stop and think about the potential costs, such as increased demands for water and electricity. Coming soon, our introductory blogpost on the topic will expand on these ideas
