What’s this? one5c on a Wednesday? What the France is going on here? Don’t worry, I’ll still be abseiling into your inbox on Friday, but I had to take a moment to celebrate a special milestone: This week’ marks one5c’s 25th newsletter! I was taking an amble down Memory Lane, and came up with some pretty mindblowing stats that I couldn’t wait to share:
39,353 words published
50-plus hours of interviews recorded. (I fact check.)
196 pages of notes taken
322 URLs bookmarked in the course of my research
The most humbling number is, of course, the thousands of you who now read one5c every week. I’m so grateful to you—not just for subscribing, but for giving a shit. You are going to save the world, and I think hard every day about what brought us together.
Some of you have come for gift-wrapping advice. Others, to hear about how the financial system is driving fossil fuel expansion—and what you can do about it. You show up because you’re interested in how your diet can impact the planet, and how you can change what you eat without sacrificing your health. You’ve opened your minds to conversations about plastic, activism, and more.
But what’s brought most of you to one5c is each other. Every week, some of you pass these stories on to others. More than anywhere else—more than Instagram or Twitter—newsletter subscribers clicking that red “share” button have grown one5c.
I need you to tag that thing again for me.
Please help one5c expand its impact by sending it to a few people. Friends, colleagues, family members, exes, those mysterious names in your phonebook from when you imported your facebook contacts—whatever. You can tap down here 👇, or on one of the stories I linked up there 👆.
Thanks, as always, for joining me on this trip. It’s a privilege to have your attention.
Take care of yourselves—and each other
Joe
