Do you Amazon?

Hey Reader, You probably use Amazon. Over 200 million people have Amazon Prime accounts and many more shop without prepaying for shipping. Amazon has a role in our consumption (larger than many of us would like, I suspect). Sometimes, we send you to Amazon for supplies for projects we share. But maybe we can try to buy things from places other than Amazon? Our co-founder, Jen, recently shared a post on her newsletter, Sage Neighbor, about breaking up with Amazon Prime. She's convinced it's easier than you might think, and it doesn't have to be a "cold turkey, all or nothing" adventure. Check out more about why it might be worthwhile to cut the cord on Prime and how you could do it. It might even save you money! Do you think you could make it work?
And of course, if you ever have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to hit reply on this email. It comes right back to us, and we read every single email! -- Jen + Jess |

Jess rounded up some fantastic children’s picture books that bring her story to life! 📚✨ These books are perfect for sparking...
Hey Reader, As you can guess from the lists of picture books we rounded up related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we're big fans of books around here. A few months ago, Jen started paying her kids to read (for reasons beyond bribing them to stick their noses in books). It's not for everyone, but it's worked out pretty well for her and her boys, who are 10 and 12. It's also apparently a pretty hot topic with a lot of opinions. We'd love to know if you'd pay your kids to read. Check...
Hey Reader, With objectives so broad and encompassing so many facets of life, it's no surprise that pursuits related to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals sometimes intersect in complicated ways. And in the United States, we're seeing that right now in a high-profile labor strike by autoworkers who work for car manufacturers. Among several points of contention, auto workers are concerned that a transition from traditional internal combustion engine cars to electric vehicles...
