You're faced with content that's been revised multiple times. How do you stay true to the original goals?
It's important to always read the first draft and the notes for said draft when looking over a new version sent to you. If you do this while continually checking the original request/instructions, you'll be able to better catch what was lost or left out in new versions.

How can you use the SDGs to guide your organization's sustainability reporting?
The SDGs often give reporting on misconduct some credibility -- instead of condemning an institution on some kind of vague moral high ground, pointing out that they've broken a covenant agreed upon by most countries in the world shows that they have inarguably overstepped a boundary in some capacity.
-
How can you improve readability with bullet points, headings, and white space?
Subheadings are almost just as important as heads and decks. While the latter draws a reader in, the former keeps a reader engaged. In an era of quick content and ever-shortening attention spans, blocks of text on a page or a screen can be daunting to even the most dedicated reader if they're in the wrong headspace. If you break up your article into two to three chunks -- with a head, a deck, and then one to two subheadings -- then readers will be able to break up their skimming accordingly and have a better understanding of the material.

How can you use the SDGs to guide your organization's sustainability reporting?
One important aspect that is often overlooked is to know your audience. Even well educated, high-ranking individuals in government and business don't have every single SDG memorized, nor can they identify them by number alone. A quick, one-sentence recap of which SDG you're talking about does a lot for audience engagement and understanding.

Our project was to collaborate with local government and businesses in order to install a refrigerator in free-access so that merchants could place their nearly-expired products inside. People facing food insecurity would thus have access to free and quality food, while merchants would waste less of their product. The project was thus both socially and ecologically conscious in nature.
- Contacted local business people to solicit a host for the fridge.
- Assisted in getting city hall’s approval for the fridge.
- Led fundraising efforts for the fridge’s installment.
- Solicited the participation of surrounding businesses in the fridge’s continuation.
