    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 29, 2024 9:58


    In this episode of *Manny Talks*, we unpack the ongoing challenges of plastic recycling, diving into recent *CNN* articles that shed light on the topic. We explore *Ella Nilsen's* September 2024 piece on California's lawsuit against ExxonMobil, which alleges misleading claims about plastic recyclability, as well as *Rachel Ramirez's* May 2024 article that critically examines the promises and pitfalls of chemical recycling. Are big corporations truly invested in solving the plastic crisis, or are we being misled? Is chemical recycling the solution we've been waiting for, or just another flawed approach? We also take a closer look at how our own recycling habits play into the issue and challenge listeners to reflect on the convenience of single-use plastics. Can we make the necessary changes to reduce our plastic footprint? Join me, Manny, for a thought-provoking discussion about corporate responsibility, consumer action, and the future of plastic recycling.

    0406 Greenwashing or Legit? How to Verify Sustainability Claims of Companies

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 17, 2023 7:49


    Podcast: Manny Talks Host: Manny De La Cruz The push for sustainability has led many job seekers to seek out companies that prioritize environmental and social responsibility. However, it's important for job seekers to carefully research and evaluate a company's sustainability efforts before committing to a job. To do this, job seekers can start by reviewing a company's sustainability reports, which outline their sustainability goals, initiatives, and progress. They can also look for independent certifications or ratings that verify a company's sustainability claims, such as those provided by the FSC or Corporate Knights. Additionally, job seekers can gain valuable insights into a company's sustainability practices by examining their supply chain and sourcing practices. By taking these steps, job seekers can make informed decisions about which companies to support and work for, and help to promote greater sustainability in the business world.

    Identity groups are a great place to start but that’s not where you should end. I had the opportunity to hear a great presentation by Dr. Karl Reid during the STEM success summit in which he made a point about networking outside your identity group. Later on that week a co-worker asked me why I got involved in groups like SHPE and internal ERGs as well. Just a coincidence in events but enough to share what I shared. Watch replay of Dr. Reid’s presentation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW3wCYwMwgU&t=9s.
