As we inch another day closer to a [holiday season](https://blogs.ksvc.com/energy-wire/part-one-pre-holiday-planning) unlike any other,  the team at KSV can’t help but reflect on all that we have to be grateful for. Even in a year where so much has been turned upside down, we find ourselves finishing each day with gratitude for what has remained the same: inspiring clients, innovative colleagues and a community dedicated to creating a better future. ![KSV Pie Gif 300px](https://blogs.ksvc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KSV%20Pie%20Gif%20300px.gif?width=300&name=KSV%20Pie%20Gif%20300px.gif) As we prepare for a 2020-style Thanksgiving, we’d like to share a few stories bringing us an extra dose of inspiration this week, in the hopes that they do the same for all of you: [**Brands Are Using Black Friday Boycotts to Highlight Sustainability Initiatives**](https://www.glossy.co/fashion/brands-are-using-black-friday-boycotts-to-highlight-sustainability-initiatives/): Although several brands will spend Black Friday and the weeks after touting promotions and deep discounts, several others are switching things up this year, using the high-profile moment as an opportunity to highlight ongoing sustainability initiatives. For brands like [Freitag](https://www.freitag.ch/en), this means shining a spotlight on their newly launched bag swap platform, which allows customers to exchange backpacks and messenger bags with other customers as a way to encourage a second-life for a high quality product while also reducing waste. [**This is Our Chance to Reclaim Cities From Cars**](https://www.outsideonline.com/2418853/reclaim-cities-from-cars): One positive thing that came out of the COVID-19 pandemic? A more bikeable, walkable and cleaner urban America. Reimagining public spaces has consistently been a part of the conversation around how urban areas rebuild in the wake of the virus. This article takes it a step further, painting a hopeful picture for the future of cities. [**25 US Cities Land on CDP ‘A List:’**](https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/news/25-us-cities-land-on-cdp-2020-a-list/589055/) In spite of both the havoc wrought by the coronavirus and little-to-no support at the federal level, several cities in the US were recognized by the [CDP](https://www.cdp.net/en/cities/cities-scores) for making progress toward their climate action goals. Progress from cities like Cleveland, OH and San Antonio, TX highlight just how, in the absence of national guidance, impactful and important state and municipal level initiatives toward carbon emissions reductions and the adoption of clean energy technologies can be in ensuring a better, brighter and cleaner future. [**Oreo’s Proud Parent**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpfLklSG2dQ) ad is a moving, resonant reminder that a loving world, no matter how complicated, starts with a loving home.  No matter what your Thanksgiving might look like this year, we hope it is safe, healthy, and filled with hope (and an extra helping of pie).
