#21: let's switch things up
F*ck Yeah Fridays #21
September 16, 2022
Things look a little different to you? That's because they are.
To create these weekly roundups, several hours goes into finding the best climate positivity and inspiration each week. In an effort to do a better job at that, we continuously optimize. Everyone reading this is an early subscriber to Climativity, and we've now entered our third big redesign (thanks to a platform change).
A few more changes you may notice:
- A rebrand of this weekly newsletter to F*ck Yeah Fridays (still a part of Climativity)
- A new website dedicated to hosting good climate news
- Formatting changes throughout
But I won't know if it's better or worse unless you tell me.
Believe it or not, this newsletter is collaborative! From formatting tips, to your honest feedback, to stories and actions, readers like you sending in messages is what helps keep this alive.
If you have anything to say, just hit reply and shoot your unfiltered thoughts over.
