A SpiceJet plane faced some severe turbulence on Sunday, injuring 17 people on board

The Indian airline’s Boeing 737 was carrying about 200 passengers and crew while traveling from Mumbai to Durgapur.

A passenger recalls that the turbulence began 35 minutes before the plane was scheduled to land.

As the plane descended the turbulence worsened with the aircraft bouncing up, down and sideways.

Passenger who forgot to fasten their seatbelts reportedly flew up from their seats hitting the overhead baggage bins.

India’s civil aviation regulator will investigate the incident but released a statement saying the plane experienced “severe turbulence” during descent with the auto pilot being disengaged for “two minutes” meaning the crew manually flew the aircraft.

In this special interview, the Earth.io CEO discusses the critical role of soil carbon in tackling climate change and her mission to reshape the future of sustainable business.

Samantha Jewell, founder and CEO of Urth.io, is on a mission to change the way businesses think about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, particularly in the area of soil carbon stewardship.

In a recent on Ticker News, Jewell underscored the importance of reducing carbon emissions and the critical role businesses can play in addressing climate change.

One key focus of Urth.io is supporting farmers in creating carbon offsets through responsible soil management.

“Soil carbon is one of the most underappreciated tools we have to combat climate change,” Jewell explained.

However, she acknowledges the challenges, particularly the complexity of regulations and the need to shift mindsets among both farmers and buyers.

Revealing book

Jewell’s book, *Carbon is Not a Dirty Word*, serves as a practical guide for businesses and individuals looking to implement sustainable practices.

“The book is about making sustainability accessible, whether you’re a business leader or a farmer,” she said.

As ESG becomes a central concern for many industries, Jewell believes that education and a commitment to long-term change are essential.
