The more things change, the more they stay the same…or not
White supremacist philosophy embedded in institutional and systemic structures carried out through racist thought and human action, both historically and presently, create disparities in access to services and resources that support a thriving life for African American, Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC).
Guest commentary: Where plastic flows into the ocean
A paddler and cleanup volunteer encounters plastic waste and other man-made debris in a tributary of Greenfield Lake in Wilmington. Photo courtesy of Cape Fear River Watch While many extoll the benefits and virtues of recycling, we have become a nation of complacent recyclers. Each week we sort the things that can be recycled from the things that cannot, and roll our bins out to the street where they are collected and further sorted before being hauled off to commercial recycling facilities.
Longleaf pines fire up public-private partnerships
Ten years ago, North Carolina’s longleaf pine forests were dense tangled jungles strangling flora, suffocating fauna and threating catastrophic wildfire. But an innovative public-private partnership that has embraced controlled burning — the careful application of fire managed to improve forest heath — has since returned thousands of acres of North Carolina’s longleaf forests to their natural state.

Special to the Philanthropy Journal By Anisa Kamadoli Costa and Ann Colley Protecting and restoring the health of the earth’s oceans is a major challenge, but our foundations – The Tiffany & Co. Foundation and The Moore Charitable Foundation – are encouraged by the success we are seeing with support for the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) through innovative, collaborative philanthropy that magnifies the power of our giving.
Say no to seismic blasting and drilling in the Atlantic
Imagine living in a neighborhood where a huge blast, like a stick of dynamite, exploded every 10-12 seconds non-stop for weeks to months on-end. Under the Trump administration’s plan to rollback existing protections against offshore drilling in the Atlantic, seismic airgun blasting – the way companies propose searching for oil and gas deposits on the Outer Continental Shelf – could be coming our way.
Op-Ed: GenX in our water - A commonsense response
By Mary Baggett Martin and Ann Colley Last February, DuPont and Chemours agreed to pay $670 million to settle thousands of lawsuits related to their decades-long release of tons of C8, a toxic chemical used in the production of Teflon, into the Ohio River. In a strikingly similar case in June of this year, North Carolinians discovered that Chemours, a spin-off of DuPont, had been releasing GenX, another chemical used in the production of Teflon, into the Cape Fear River for 37 years.
