🌱 We’ve spent years talking about reducing our #environmental footprint. But what if sustainability also means leaving something positive behind? In “Handprints, Not Footprints,” student author Connor LaSalle challenges the idea that environmental action is only about giving something up. 🌻 From native gardens and food forests to regenerative lawns, the story explores how our backyards can become spaces that support #biodiversity, strengthen communities, and help combat #climate change. 🌎 Sometimes #sustainability begins with growing something new. 🌿 📖 Read the full story in Q Magazine Volume 8.1 🔗 Click the link in our bio to explore the full issue!

📱 Every discarded phone, laptop, and tablet has a story that continues long after we replace it. In “Toxic Afterlives,” author Grace Dougan documents the unseen journey of electronic waste, from our homes to communities where discarded devices are dismantled under dangerous conditions. The story explores how planned obsolescence, global consumption, and the growing e-waste crisis come at an enormous #environmental and human cost. 🌎 This conversation challenges us to rethink what "throwing something away" really means, and why building a more #sustainable future starts with repairing, reusing, and demanding technology that’s designed to last. 📖 Read the full story in Q Magazine Volume 8.1 🔗 Click the link in our bio to explore the full issue! #ewaste #electronics #righttorepair

Join Illinois students in imagining a more #sustainable future! 🌎 📖 Visit the University of Illinois Archives to see artwork inspired by the “Climaginaries” platform’s “Carbon Ruins” exhibition, which takes visitors into a future society that no longer uses fossil fuels. ❇️ The Illinois exhibit features objects curated and created by students in the Spring 2026 Multimedia Environmental Communications Class (ESE/ENGL 467) taught by Leah Becker, which is part of iSEE’s Certificate in Environmental Writing. ✍️ 🎨 Students were asked to create objects they hoped would be extinct or less ubiquitous by 2050, and objects they hoped would be invented or more widely used by 2050 — all in the name of improving #environmental protection and #sustainability. ♻️ From the extinction of single-use #plastics and styrofoam to the creation of #solar-farm satellites, these “climagineries” will inspire you to consider how you can participate in the sustainable revolution!
