Introducing our latest digital cover star—Daisy Edgar-Jones ✨ It’s not unusual to see actor Daisy Edgar-Jones surrounded by vast, untouched nature. In Where the Crawdads Sing, Edgar-Jones’s character, Kya Clark, lives among the lush, green swamps of New Orleans in Louisiana. And in her newest film, Twisters, which premieres tomorrow, the actor, who plays storm chaser Kate Carter, travels across the vast red plains and low-lying hills of Oklahoma. Twisters is as much about the awe-inspiring force of nature—of phenomena like tornadoes and storms—as it is about the adaptability of the human spirit; about urgent efforts to live in harmony with our environment in the face of climatic fury. Ahead of its release, Daisy Edgar-Jones speaks with the film's Oscar-winning director Lee Isaac Chung and Atmos Culture Director Daphne Chouliaraki Milner about the urgency of nature-based storytelling.

Recycling can only go so far. Millions of tonnes of plastic waste is produced across the globe on a daily basis, much of it ending up in waterways. When French-born siblings and activists Gary Bencheghib, Sam Bencheghib, and Kelly Bencheghib started the nonprofit Sungai Watch in 2020 (sungai means “river” in Bahasa Indonesia), their mission was simple: to reduce the flow of plastic from Bali’s rivers into the ocean. Their newest venture, Sungai Design, which launched earlier this year, aims to solve another issue: what to do with all the waste. Read more at the link below.
