Sustainability topics in a nutshell with Ethic co-founder Jay Lipman
Portfolios and pandemics: Deforestation

Which business practices increase the risk of another highly infectious disease? In this video, I discuss one of the links between unsustainable corporate practices and infectious diseases: deforestation. 3 of 4 emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic—like COVID-19 or SARS—meaning they jumped from animals to people. Deforestation and the companies driving it, is one of the factors systemically pushing exotic animals closer to human populations, increasing the risk of diseases making that jump.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
