Let’s Talk About Nurdles

A Rocha USA / October 19, 2021

By Autumn Ayers What in the World is a Nurdle? That’s the first question I hear from beachgoers when I attend one of A Rocha’s nurdle cleanup events.

An Ethical Framework

A Rocha USA / April 2, 2015

By Tom Rowley, A Rocha USA Executive Director If you don’t know where you’re going, you’re sure to get there. When it comes to environmental conservation, that’s exactly where the world is: huge seemingly intractable problems and little consensus on how (and even whether) to address them. More …

A Rocha USA / March 17, 2015

By Peter Harris, co-founder of A Rocha Miranda and I recently visited our son and his family on the island of St Helena. It lies in the middle of the South Atlantic and so the only way to get there is to sail for six days from Cape Town. It was a massive privilege to undertake such an …

Raising the Blinds (with thanks to Eugene Peterson)!

A Rocha USA / March 11, 2015

By Tom Rowley, A Rocha USA Executive Director If we are to motivate people to care for the creation, it will take something more than, something different from the standard pleas of the past. “Because God said so” and “because people and planet both need it”—true as those statements are—haven’t …
