On Point

  • Oct 25: We take a close look at how the war in Ukraine might end with Yale University history professor, Timothy Snyder. He recently wrote that “the war ends when Ukrainian military victories alter Russian political realities.” Snyder believes the political reality has already begun to shift, and ultimately, for Russian president Vladimir Putin, “it might be bad to lose in Ukraine, but it is worse to lose in Russia.”
  • Oct 26: When Hurricane Fiona hit the island of Puerto Rico on September 18th, it caused massive flooding and the loss of electricity for millions for weeks. Before Fiona, only 30% of all permanent reconstruction work related to the damage caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017 had begun. Thousands of people still lived in flood-prone areas, and almost nothing had been done to strengthen the power grid and other critical infrastructure. So, why five years after Hurricane Maria is the island still so unprepared for hurricane season?

Global Citizen: The zero-waste bus delivering affordable food during lockdown

mobile grocery store

  • Description: Inner city residents of Johannesburg in South Africa have been given access to a new kind of shopping experience: a zero waste mobile grocery store. The bus, called Skhaftin after the local slang word for ‘lunchbox’, sells fresh and dry foods such as rice, beans and lentils, as it makes its way around the city. Shoppers bring their own containers, avoiding the use of packaging that could harm the environment. Founder Ilka Stein and her team came up with the concept during the pandemic, to allow people to access healthy but affordable food in a sustainable way, without having to travel far from home.
  • Suggested social copy: Say hello to a new kind of shopping experience: a zero waste mobile grocery store.
  • Duration: 2 minutes 8 seconds
