Say hello to Diatoms.Microscopic plants called Diatoms absorb 10-20 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. That's equal to the amount of carbon captured annually by all of the world's rainforests.Diatoms are considered the largest primary producers of oxygen on our planet. It is estimated that through photosynthesis, diatoms produce between 20% and 40% of the oxygen we breathe.With the campaign "Keeping the Planet cool with Diatoms" we are trying to raise awareness about Diatom potential in CO2 removal.We are in the process of removing 10GtCO2 by accelerating the growth of native diatoms in polluted open water systems.

At Athena, we believe career care is self care. Not an indulgence, but an investment. The old model of career growth was linear — climb the ladder, one role at a time, until you reach the top or run out of rungs.Athena exists for the women who are done with that model — who are building something more expansive instead: a portfolio of leadership positions, board seats, advisory roles, ventures, speaking opportunities, and more that reflects the full range of what they have to offer.Expert guidance, real-time education, peer community, and smart connections come together so members can care for their careers continuously — not as a one-time fix, but as a lifelong practice. Because career care is self-care: not something you do once and check off, but something you deliberately tend to over time. And you don’t have to do it alone. Since its founding, Athena has: • Built and nurtured a network of 3,000+ C-level women, VCs, and CEOs from across the full range of industries. • Made thousands of connections between female executives and investment firms, CEOs, and boards. • Supported over 600 women to corporate board roles across the range of public, PE backed, VC backed, ESOPs and more. • Produced hundreds of hours of business leadership content on the most pressing topics - from governing to investing to building. • Offered over 250 virtual events and 100 live in-person events annually across the US. • Launched Athena Academy courses with world-class facultyYour career doesn't build itself.
