Each of us is entrusted with a sacred allocation of time to learn, to teach, and to act in service of our shared mission. At Last Planet we dedicate ours to healing our planet: rescuing waste through recycling, restoring balance by planting trees, and advocating for a cleaner, greener future.

Yet, as Rabbi Tzvi Freeman reminds us, time is a divine gift—meant not just for making a living, but for lifting others and stewarding the world we share. Let us never confuse busyness with purpose, nor neglect our role as both students and teachers in the work of tikkun olam (repairing the world).

To our Jewish friends and partners, may this week ahead be filled with light, blessing, and the joy of meaningful progress. Shavua Tov wishing you a productive and rewarding week! 🌱♻️

💙 Today, we made history. Next week, let’s make it even bigger!

🌱 Shabbat Shalom from Last Planet!

📚 Through our Plastic for Education program, we’ve helped over 20 schools with learning materials and tikkun olam (repairing the world) workshops.

Kids discover the value of recycling plastic while improving their classrooms teaching them to be shomrei adamah (guardians of the earth).

Let’s inspire the next generation to lead the way in sustainability!

♻️ The future is greener, and it starts with our children.

Plastic pollution is a threat to the environment and our health. But it’s not too late to act.

By coming together, we can turn the tide—for our planet and future generations: https://worldenvironmentday.global

When countries invest in bold climate plans, they invest in their own security - energy, food, water, and beyond.

National climate plans due this year provide a chance for countries to create pathways for that foster economic growth and healthy and resilient societies.

Even now as Israel faces one of the worst fires in the country’s history, the people of Israel are resilient. Even these challenging times will pass and the strength of the Israeli spirit will endure.🇮🇱
