– Americans Say Kindness is Their New Self-Care: Crispy Green’s New Survey Reveals Feel-Good Trends from Moms Nationwide –

FAIRFIELD, N.J., April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the nation battles digital burnout and everyday stress, a surprising new survey from Crispy Green^®, the maker of the leading freeze-dried fruit snack Crispy Fruit™, reveals a powerful emotional trend: Kindness has become the go-to mood booster for American families.

The national Mood & Kindness Check-In, conducted with 600 moms across the U.S., found that 65.4% of respondents say being kind significantly boosts their mood, while 90.2% of moms actively teach their kids to practice kindness.

Moms are on a mission to raise a kinder generation. Tired of screen time, shifting norms, and everyday stress chipping away at empathy, they’re putting emotional wellness first—through authentic connections, not quick fixes. The message is clear: kindness starts at home, and these moms aren’t waiting around for change—they’re making it happen.

Surprise Stats That Show Kindness is King:

• 65.4% say kindness “helps a lot” in improving mood. Another 33.5% say it helps “somewhat.”
• 90.2% of moms teach their kids to be kind and share.
• 52.3% say watching a good movie or reading a book helps lift their mood.
• Only 15.7% unplugged from social media to reset emotionally.
• 11.3% turn to volunteering to lift their spirits.
• 40.2% report that simply treating themselves works wonders.

“Small acts of kindness spark oxytocin and serotonin—the brain’s feel-good chemicals,” says Dr. Nicole Avena, neuroscientist, health expert, and author of the book Sugarless: A 7-Step Plan to Uncover Hidden Sugars, Curb Your Cravings, and Conquer Your Addiction

How Are Moms Really Feeling?

Despite the emphasis on kindness and connection, the current mood among moms is mixed. While there’s a strong emphasis on kindness and connection, many are still navigating a swirl of complex emotions. The top 5 drivers of a positive mood include: a solid daily routine, good health, seasonal changes (hello, sunshine!), a supportive person in their life, and keeping up with an exercise routine. Even with these mood boosters in place, the emotional landscape for moms remains nuanced and ever-changing:

• 40.3% reported feeling content and at peace.
• But 26.8% felt uneasy or skeptical.
• And 24.7% admitted to feeling frustrated or angry.

This emotional split underscores the growing need for intentional well-being practices grounded in connection, not perfection.

Join the #SunnySideofSnacking Movement

As part of its Sunny Side of Snacking campaign, Crispy Green hopes to inspire people to do one kind thing each day—and share it with others.

“Through small, meaningful actions, we can create ripple effects of positivity,” says Angela Liu, Founder and CEO of Crispy Green. “Kindness is free, but the impact is priceless. Even a simple gesture—like sharing a healthy snack, such as Crispy Fruit—with someone can be a powerful way to spread kindness and promote well-being for both the giver and the receiver.”

MERIDA, Mexico, April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the recent 2025 Tech4Nature Summit, Huawei, International Union of Conservation for Nature (IUCN), and local partners launched Phase Two of the Mexico Tech4Nature project, which aims to strengthen the protection of jaguars in Dzilam de Bravo State Reserve and study the effects of climate change on biodiversity. 

Alongside Huawei and IUCN, the launch was officiated by Mexico’s Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, the State Government of Yucatán, and local partner C-Minds.

“In Mexico, 42% of our country’s ecosystems face some degree of degradation that we have to work towards solving. This involves monitoring and a lot of restoration work, but it also means something more important, which is precisely what we’re seeing thanks to this alliance,” said Dr. Marina Robles García, Undersecretary of Biodiversity and Environmental Restoration for the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources in Mexico.

Aligned with Huawei’s TECH4ALL initiative and the IUCN Green List, Tech4Nature is a global partnership launched by Huawei and IUCN in 2020 to scale up success in nature conservation through technological innovation.

“Today we celebrate a shared vision, a vision that understands that conservation can no longer depend solely on good intentions or isolated policies. We need science, technology, empowered communities, and committed governments,” said Joaquín Díaz Mena, Governor of Yucatán in Mexico, at the 2025 Tech4Nature Summit.

Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, the jaguar is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. To contribute to its conservation, the first phase of the project installed 60 audio devices and more than 20 camera traps in Dzilam de Bravo State Reserve. Using trained AI models, the system is able to recognize the vocalizations and images of species that inhabit the reserve. By April 2025, the solution had identified a total of 147 species and confirmed the presence of nine jaguars in the territory.

The second phase of the project focuses on gathering data about the distribution of jaguar populations, and providing data-driven insights to support decision-making and improve reserve management with a view to creating a biological corridor.

The 2025 Tech4Nature Summit brought together experts, scientists, and conservation leaders from around the world to share advances and strategies in technology-driven nature conservation.

“Digital technology is making biodiversity conservation much more efficient and helping governments and conservationists take faster, more targeted action,” said Tao Jingwen, Director of the Board and Director of the Corporate Sustainable Development Committee for Huawei. “I want to call on more of our partners to join the Tech4Nature initiative to make digital technology a common tool for global ecosystem conservation.”

As well as Mexico, the summit explored Tech4Nature Phase Two projects in Brazil, China, Spain, Kenya, and Türkiye, showcasing how digital technologies and AI analytics can be adapted to the specific needs of diverse ecosystems.

“Building on our momentum so far, we look forward to the second phase of this partnership with great anticipation. This new chapter will address six countries, promoting transformative change for species, ecosystems, and their communities,” said Úrsula Parrilla, Director, Regional Office for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean (ORMACC) for IUCN. “By integrating technology into large-scale conservation, we contribute to global goals that seek to put nature at the center of decision-making for sustainable development.” 

Tech4Nature phase two projects

• Brazil will study the impact of climate change on Marajó Island and monitor the mangrove crab as an indicator of ecosystem health.
• China uses networked digital solutions and AI analytics to track and support the repopulation of the world’s rarest primate, the Hainan gibbon, just 42 of which remain in existence.
• Spain aims to protect the Bonelli’s eagle in Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac Natural Park by using digital technologies to analyze the impact of park visitors on the eagles’ reproductive success.
• Kenya aims to improve monitoring in protected marine areas and coral reef in Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park and Reserve to help tackle issues such as illegal fishing and pressure from tourism, and monitor the parrot fish, which helps coral survive.
• Türkiye represents a pioneering collaboration between NGOs, the private sector, and the government to evaluate biodiversity protection, with a focus on large mammals, including the fallow deer and wild goat in two pilot sites.

The 2025 Tech4Nature Summit attested to how collaboration between the technology sector, NGOs, governments, academic institutions, and local communities has created a new paradigm for protecting biodiversity and ecosystems.

– Presenting Immediately Applicable Circular Recycling Technologies, Solutions, and Use Cases
– Comprehensive Showcase of Sustainable and Specialty Lineups Including Circular Recycling, Copolyesters, and Bio-Based Materials

SEONGNAM, South Korea, April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SK chemicals will showcase its technological capabilities at CHINAPLAS, one of the world’s top three plastics exhibitions.

SK chemicals (CEO and President Ahn Jae-hyun) announced on the 13th that it will participate in CHINAPLAS 2025, to be held from April 15 for three days at the Shenzhen World Convention and Exhibition Center in Guangdong Province, China.

CHINAPLAS is recognized as one of the world’s top three chemical industry exhibitions alongside NPE in the U.S. and K show in Germany, and is considered the largest in Asia. This year’s exhibition will be held under the themes of △Transformation △Collaboration △Sustainability, with over 4,000 companies from approximately 150 countries expected to participate and showcase the latest innovative technologies.

At this year’s exhibition, SK chemicals will present its sustainable specialty solutions under the slogan “On-hand solution for sustainable tomorrow.” Rather than presenting future plans or technologies still under development, SK chemicals will focus on showcasing proven and commercially available products—such as the world’s first chemically recycled materials—highlighting sustainable technologies and solutions that can be implemented immediately.

In the field of circular recycled materials based on depolymerization technology, SK chemicals will showcase a lineup of recyclable materials designed with both pre- and post-use recyclability in mind. This includes: △ CLARO, a copolyester classified as post-consumer PET, applied to skincare and makeup products from L’Oréal and Estée Lauder △ SKYPET CR, a PET material used in Samdasoo water bottles and Coldplay’s eco-friendly vinyl records △ ECOTRIA CR, a circular recycled copolyester used in interior tiles by CS Group. 

SK chemicals will also exhibit everyday consumer products that feature its flagship materials, including: △ ECOZEN, a high-heat-resistant bio-based copolyester used in various kitchen appliances, food storage containers, baby tableware, and sports bottles △ SKYGREEN, a high-performance PETG applied in cosmetic packaging and iced cups, valued for its exceptional transparency, chemical resistance, and processability.

SK chemicals will also present △ ECOTRION, a 100% plant-based bio polyol used in spandex, synthetic leather, and urethane elastomers △ SKYPEL, a polyester-based elastomer that combines the properties of rubber and engineering plastics, used in automotive parts, industrial hoses, subsea cables, and breathable films, along with related application products.

Ahn Jae-hyun, President of SK chemicals, stated, “Through this exhibition, we aim to clearly demonstrate that a sustainable plastic ecosystem—where plastic products are recycled back into new plastic products—is not a distant future goal, but a solution that can be realized today.” He added, “We will continue to build success cases through close collaboration with leading companies across industries and actively promote our unique technologies and products, including circular recycling solutions.”

SK chemicals’ circular recycling is based on depolymerization technology, which breaks down waste plastics at the molecular level to reuse them as raw materials. Unlike mechanical recycling, it maintains the properties and quality—such as the transparency—equivalent to petroleum-based materials, and offers the added benefit of being recyclable again after use. It can also recycle a wide range of waste plastics—not only clear bottles typically used as recycled feedstock, but also colored containers, films, and trays. SK chemicals, leveraging its world-first commercialization of depolymerization technology, has built a broad lineup of recycled materials ranging from general-purpose PET to high-performance copolyesters such as PETG.
