When a ship inadvertently spills oil, it's big news. But every three years, ships intentionally dump more oil than the Exxon Valdez, and BP spills combined. This episode highlights a vexing and woefully under-discussed problem. It is made possible by corrupt ship captains who use a so-called “Magic Pipe” that dumps oil discreetly under the water line rather than disposing of it on land as legally required. To learn about this problem, the episode tells the story of Carnival's Caribbean Princess cruise ship, which used such a pipe and was caught, convicted and hit with the biggest fine in history. This case is set in a broader context of other forms of at-sea dumping, such as plastic pollution, and highlights how the sea has long — and perilously — been viewed as a bottomless trash can. Guest Interviews: Annie Leonard, CEO of Greenpeace, creator of “The Story of Plastic” Richard Udell, DOJ Prosecutor on the Caribbean Princess Case.Take the Uncover audience survey!For transcripts of this series, please visit this page.

Wat als we met zijn allen stoppen met kopen, consumeren en hard werken – en dus niet meer zouden meedoen? Voor de wereld bijvoorbeeld, of voor het klimaat, of voor om onszelf van consument naar burger om te vormen? Kan dat? Moeten we dat willen? Deze keer gaan we in gesprek met Babs, een krachtige getuige van meer delen, meer lenen, minder bezitten en minder werken. Maar ook een krachtige voorstander van niets moeten missen, van toegang voor iedereen en van mild zijn voor jezelf. Een boeiende, zoekende en prikkelende aflevering over het geluk van ervaringen versus spullen, over consuminderen en over gewoon mens zijn en er het beste van maken.

(This full conversation is from the episode 'Greenpeace at 50:  The Climate Crisis is a Fight Not an Argument' released April 18th, 2022) In this special feature for Earth Day, we focus on just one group: Greenpeace, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The environmental group has been in the headlines again, confronting Russian oil tankers in many ports. They've attracted lots of attention and scored many victories in the years they've been in existence. But it's not enough. The climate crisis is more urgent than ever, the world's not on track to get off fossil fuels in the time we need, and the most vulnerable are paying the heaviest price. In this special, we spend the program with the leadership of Greenpeace, including co-executive Directors, Annie Leonard and Ebony Twilley Martin, the first African American woman to head a "Big Green" group. The changes the group has made to embed racial justice and equity across their organization are going to take time, they admit, but without them, they'll never shift the power structure that's proven so intransigent up to this point. What's it going to take to shift power internally, avoid false solutions, and make the sort of transformation we need, as a nation, and as a group? They say there is no choice. The changes they're making now are essential. We can't bring about a greener, more equitable future with shortcuts.Music Featured in the Middle of the Podcast:  Humpback Mix of “Hope Bay ” by Dazzle Drums,  from the Climate Soundtrack project, produced by DJ's for Climate Action, where producers from around the world were asked to create original music from a ‘climate sample pack' of field recordings gathered during years of Greenpeace expeditions and activism across the globe.GuestsTefere Gebre, Chief Program Officer, Greenpeace USAAnnie Leonard, Co-Executive Director, Greenpeace USAEbony Twilley Martin, Co-Executive Director, Greenpeace USA Full episode notes including related articles and LFShow episodes to watch and/or listen to are posted at https://Patreon.com/theLFShow.

"Mi experiencia es meramente intuitiva, alrededor del 2002 empecé a visualizar que iba a haber un cambio en la alimentación. Básicamente empecé a ver que había una tendencia hacia otro tipo de consumo, hacia la alimentación gourmet, orgánica, agroecológica y saludable. Me puse a investigar y ver qué había en la Argentina y cómo implementarlo.” “Me resultaba muy complejo conseguir alimentos saludables y orgánicos en una ciudad populosa, como Buenos Aires, hasta que dije por qué no armo mi propio mercado para facilitar mi vida y la de otros con la misma meta.” ---- En el octavo episodio de CONVERSACIONES [CON IMPACTO], un podcast de IMPACTLATAM, conversamos con Angie Ferrazzini directora y fundadora de Sabe la Tierra, organización que tiene como objetivo promover la labor y el desarrollo de los pequeños productores locales brindándoles infraestructura, espacio y visibilidad.

At the same time the Great Recession has inflicted enormous pain and suffering, it has also caused people to take a deeper look at what's really important in our lives. Many are finding that time is not money: time is far more valuable. The acclaimed filmmakers and social entrepreneurs Annie Leonard (The Story of Stuff) and John de Graaf (Seattle Area Happiness Initiative) pop the Big Question: What's the economy for, anyway? Is it a voracious cycle of perpetual growth and more stuff? Or can we create growth within the natural limits of the planet to produce sufficiency, a high quality of life and real happiness?!

本集主題：「垃圾與它們的產地：為什麼99%的東西半年後都被丟棄? 」新書介紹 專訪企劃：林進韋 內容簡介： 本書影片《東西的故事》在YouTube上超過500萬人次點閱！6000名網友熱烈回應！ 環保暢銷書《東西的故事》在台破萬經典改版， 再一次感受消費與環境間密不可分的關係！ 以前手機能用10年，但現在手機平均使用1年後就GG？！ 家電和電子產品的維修費過高，直接買新的還比較便宜？！ 流行時尚每季主題大不相同，沒穿當季款就遜掉了？！ 我們生產東西、汰換物品，看起來是再平常也不過的事，但為何現在的產品壽命越來越短？我們也越買越多？不知不覺間還造成環境汙染？！ 本書作者安妮．雷納德在親眼目睹垃圾掩埋場的驚人景象之後，便開始追蹤垃圾的身世來歷，描繪出東西變成垃圾的完整過程。她發現商人刻意製造壽命短、易毀損的商品，甚至還製造過時就不適用或落伍的印象，大力鼓吹我們花錢購買不需要的垃圾，以提高企業獲利。但同時，地球環境卻因此每下愈況。即便我們努力做好環保，若不能減低購買物品和製造垃圾的頻率，地球的資源與生態仍會持續耗竭。 安妮並不是鼓勵大家不要購物，而是不喜歡現今「肥了大企業，卻沒有讓消費者跟地球更好」的模式。與其讓錢流入財團手中，不如聰明消費，讓地球跟自己都過得更快樂。 透過本書，安妮除了跟我們討論「東西的故事」以外，也提供了四個愛護地球的消費提案。如何邊滿足自己的購物欲同時邊做環保？就從安妮的方法開始實驗吧！ 安妮的4個消費提案： ✔ 購買在地生產製造或農會的商品。 ✔ 選擇對環境友善、符合公平交易認證的商品。 ✔ 購物前先到二手市集或網拍上找找有無類似的東西。 ✔ 調整自己的花錢模式，不拿購物來滿足社交、情感需求，或定義自己身分地位。 ＊初版書名為《東西的故事》。 作者簡介：安妮．雷納德（Annie Leonard） 畢業於哥倫比亞大學，康乃爾大學城市及區域規劃碩士。現為綠色和平組織美國執行董事。曾被《時代》雜誌選為環保英雄，耕耘環境健康與社會公益議題長達二十餘年，也是網路上熱門動畫短片《東西的故事》的製作人。她曾跑遍全球四十個國家，拜訪數百家工廠和垃圾場，親眼見證了世界各地過度消費與低度消費所帶來的可怕影響，因此投身於改造及轉變我們的工業與經濟體系，讓它不再破壞生態永續與社會公平。

Now, organizers and advocates are backing recovery plans that bolster clean energy jobs, help strengthen communities and dismantle systems that exploit people and the planet. How enthusiastic are they about Joe Biden's $2 trillion climate plan? Can activism finally bring America's political ambitions in line with climate science? Join us for a conversation on the state of our climate with Annie Leonard, executive director of Greenpeace, Gina McCarthy, CEO of the NRDC, and Tamara Toles O'Laughlin, North America director of 350.org.

If you’re feeling exhausted by making millions of decisions about shopping and recycling, then this episode will give you hope! In this episode, let’s discuss the video The Story of Change and the key to societal transformation.   I'm a big fan of the free videos created by Annie Leonard and the nonprofit that grew out of her 2007 viral video, The Story of Stuff. If you want a short video to cover the basics of key environmental issues, chances are The Story of Stuff has one. That's why I wasn't surprised when I found their Story of Change video.   In under seven minutes, you can watch the entire Story of Change.So, yup, watch it and use it with your team.   Here are the key points from the Story of Change movie: We are getting the message: We can go green by being better shoppers and recyclers and telling our friends to do the same. If I do this, I've done my part. And if I don't, it's my fault that the planet is being destroyed.   This has some serious shortcomings!   It's not about just voting with our dollars. Real change comes when citizens come together to demand rules that work.   We can learn from successful movements throughout history: Gandhi, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and the environmental victories here in the 1970s. They didn't nag people to perfect their day-to-day choices. They changed the rules of the game.   Here are the three things to do to change the world: Share a big idea for how things could be better. Millions of ordinary people need to decide, "We will work together until the problem is solved." With big idea and commitment to work together, take action. After I first watched this, I gave a huge sigh of relief. I realized I was exhausting myself focusing on a million shopping and recycling decisions.   Now, I know, my real power is working on these three things: sharing a big idea, getting together with millions of people, and demanding the change we want.   The best way to get millions together is to start with two, then ten, then 100's, and 1000's around the world.   In the movie Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom, they kept using the symbol of an open hand to represent the fingers (individuals) as vulnerable, compared to the closed fist (group) as strong.   It's not enough to try to "be the change". We need to get together and "demand the change" we want to see in this world.   "Living our values in small ways shows ourselves and other we care. So, it's a great place to start.

Description: Happy Earth Day, 2018! For this special episode, Danny is joined by his brilliant wife, Kim Anderson for a conversation with Brett Chamberlin from the Story of Stuff Project. Founded in 2007 with Annie Leonard's film of the same title, which has received more than 50 million views, the Story of Stuff Project seeks to provide educational and organizational resources for combating the damaging effects that consumerism has caused the planet and the economy. Included in the discussion: the deep problems our consumerist mode of capitalism causes to our planet; how Nestle is able to put untold millions of gallons of water into its plastic bottles; what citizens can do to break these destructive cycles; and what role Christians and other people of faith can play in providing better stewardship of the planet.

 Our most basic public health protections are under attack and our ability to provide input into the decision-making process has been whittled away. This is especially dire for communities of color, low-income communities, and indigenous communities, who already face disproportionate impacts from pollution, sagging infrastructure, and climate change. We had the privilege of discussing these […] The post S1 Ep 6: We’re All in This Together! w/ Sen.

This episode of the podcast is all about less.  Specifically, how having less (less stuff, less obligations, and less debt), can help you to have more (more time, more money, and more freedom).  Like most of the topics I discuss on the podcast, this one will definitely come up again.  Because it's such an important aspect of enhancing the human experience. I recently watched Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things.  This is the film about Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn's experience adopting and living a minimalist lifestyle.  I've followed these two characters for years, so I knew it would be good, and it was.  If you're not familiar with these guys, I've put a link to their website in the resources section below.  They're big-time players in the minimalist movement. I've practiced minimalism for some time now.  It's made a big difference in my overall quality of life.  I still have stuff, but I have a lot less of it than I used to.  And I'm happier because of it.  Like everything in life however, we all fall somewhere on the spectrum.  Because compared to The Happy Minimalist (a.k.a. my hero), I'm a hoarder. Show Notes Henry Rollins once said, "The more you own, the more it owns you." Be conscious of what you bring into your life and your space. By practicing conscious consumption, you'll only bring into your life what you truly want and need.  Not what advertisers tell you you want and need. Living deliberately will make you a hard target for advertisers and marketers who aren't necessarily selling you products that will add real value to your life, but more often than not they're just pushing junk for large corporations. There's nothing wrong with corporations, capitalism, or profit.  In fact, all of these are vital to enhancing the human experience.  The key is to learn to be a conscious capitalist and creator.  And to create products and services that are truly beneficial from both a utilitarian and spiritual standpoint. The life cycle of stuff is becoming obscenely short. As with all things in life, it ultimately comes down to balance. How to wake up to your ego-mind's agenda and become a minimalist in one step: Realize that your ego mind will try to fill the soul's need for expansion by adding more and more stuff to your life, in a never-ending cycle. Here's a great explanation of how a chariot is a metaphor for the senses, the mind, the intellect, the body, and the soul. One Sentence Summary: When you wake up to the fact that your ego-mind will never be satisfied by more stuff, you transcend the illusion that things will ever give you the fulfillment and connection you're longing for in life. Quote Of The Week: Does this add value to my life, and if not, I have to be willing to let go of it." ~ Joshua Fields Millburn Resources Mentioned: becomingminimalist.com - Joshua Becker's great website about living a minimalist life. theminimalists.com - The website ran by Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn.

In the spirit of Earth Day approaching, Angie and Haley discuss the importance of being environmentally consciousness. They also share clips from past guests, Laurie Marshall, Chris Ling, and James Greyson, who responded to a quote by environmental activist, Annie Leonard. Her quote states: “The assumptions that ‘pollution is the price of progress’ or that ‘we must choose between jobs and the environment’ have long limited our creative thinking about innovative solutions that can be good for the environment, the workers, and a healthy economy.”

This week it’s a story of stuff (life stuff! Not clutter stuff!) with Annie Leonard (The Story of Stuff, Greenpeace), who talks about how experiences in the margins of high school can be liberating, the joy of optimism (and worms!), and the satisfaction of a really great opera cake.  

The American Dream has come to mean accumulating more and more stuff – and it has been exported worldwide. Yet all the stuff in our lives is taking an enormous toll on the environment, public health, equity, personal happiness and even our sense of citizenship and democracy. Filmmaker-activist Annie Leonard exposes the often hidden costs and provides a hopeful vision for moving beyond the age of stuff. She reframes consumerism and hyper-materialism by encouraging people to jettison their shopping bags without regret, and instead embrace the creation of a livable, joyous, equitable and life-centered world. This speech was given at the 2009 Bioneers National Conference and is part of the Environmental Justice Vol. 1 Collection. Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.

In week one of our series Kingdom Economics we take a candid look at what the bible has to say about money and the things money can buy. Jesus pleads with us to invest our best in eternal things. Paul points out that the love of stuff has actually caused many to wander away from the faith and some don't even realize they're lost. And James warns of the judgment that awaits those who spend their lives giving little and consuming much. Special thanks to Annie Leonard for her work (www.storyofstuff.org) and to Dave Johnson for his massive contribution to this message. To learn more about Mosaic, visit us at www.mosaiclincoln.org.

As the consumer feeding frenzy has gone global, each seemingly innocuous purchase of stuff we make today leaves behind a devastating legacy of waste that will envelop and even poison future generations for centuries to come. Ironically, it's not like all this stuff is making us any happier. Acclaimed filmmaker and environmental advocate Annie Leonard says we have choices to make, right now. Are we consumers? Or are we citizens of planet Earth? How can we change the self-destructive story before it's too late? And won't we be happier if we do?

Time Poverty, Super-Wealth and the Politics of Happiness. At the same time the Great Recession has inflicted enormous pain and suffering, it has also caused people to take a deeper look at whats really important in our lives. Many are finding that time is not money time is far more valuable. The acclaimed filmmakers and social entrepreneurs Annie Leonard (The Story of Stuff) and John de Graaf (Seattle Area Happiness Initiative) pop the Big Question: Whats the economy for, anyway?

JODIE EVANS, Co-founder, CODE PINK: Women for Peace They're launching www.dontbuybushswar.org on the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. When Ralph Waldo Emerson visited Thoreau in jail, he asked the author of Walden, "Henry, what are doing in there?" Thoreau responded, "Ralph, what are you doing out there?" Our statement is not against taxation or government. Many of us will continue to pay a portion of our taxes that support the vital functions of government. But we will hold in escrow or redirect the portion of our war taxes to humanitarian aid projects and projects such as those providing relief to survivors of Hurricane Katrina. "The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard" is an engaging new short film that explains the "materials economy" in 20 fun-filled minutes. Yes, fun-filled. Produced by Free Range Studios, which developed "The Meatrix" -- an animated short about factory farming that ranks among the cleverest uses of Internet technologies to deliver a politically progressive message -- The Story of Stuff features the wonderful Annie Leonard, amusing graphics, lots of humor, and a complicated analysis presented in an easy-to-understand conversational tone. You can watch the whole thing at www.StoryofStuff.com You'll have to watch the film to enjoy the humor -- there's no easy way to convey the playful cartooning with serious purpose. But I guarantee chuckles even for the most austere.
