The aviation industry has gotten twice as fuel-efficient since 1990, and emissions have still quadrupled. In this episode, we reckon with the guilt of flying, tracing it from economy class all the way up to private jets, where a handful of ultra-wealthy passengers emit up to 500 times more carbon than the average person annually. Plus, we dig into sustainable aviation fuel with Alyssa Norris from Aether Fuels and what it would actually take to make flying something we don't have to feel guilty about. Episode rundown: (00:35) - Should we feel guilty about flying? (03:12) - Our flying footprint (05:17) - Reckoning with guilty consciences (09:52) - What is SAF and why aren't all planes using it?

Sustainability in signage is a subject that often feels abstract. In conversation with Erik Sørensen Ruiz of Modulex, it becomes far more concrete. Modulex has worked with modular systems for many years and continues to explore how wayfinding can become more durable and more circular. Erik explains how deeply this mindset is embedded within the company. For Modulex, sustainability means considering materials across their entire life cycle: cleaning, recoating, reusing or recycling locally – depending on what is most appropriate from an environmental perspective. One example is ReBond, a material produced from discarded carpets from the hospitality sector. The textiles are shredded, processed and pressed into new panels. An independent CO₂ analysis shows that ReBond carries significantly lower emissions than conventional aluminium composite sheets. The discussion also turns to how designers and clients can make informed, sustainable choices: through certified raw materials, aluminium sourced from regions powered by renewable energy, local procurement and a clear understanding of genuine recycled content. The CO₂ footprint can act as a shared language – provided the data is gathered in a comparable way. Another key point: the most powerful levers often lie in design. The size, number and placement of signs influence the environmental impact more strongly than material selection alone. To support this, Modulex has developed a carbon modelling service that evaluates projects holistically and highlights early on where emissions arise. Towards the end, Erik reflects on the market share of sustainable solutions. It remains small. Pricing structures and limited awareness both play a role. Modulex therefore focuses on sharing knowledge and making alternatives more widely accessible. This episode illustrates how sustainability in wayfinding can emerge – not as an addon, but as an integral part of material, process and responsibility.

Wayne Brillhart is a science teacher and commentator who has expressed critical views about the concept of the personal carbon footprint and its role in environmental policy discussions. In talks and commentary such as Forget About Your Carbon Footprint, Brillhart argues that focusing on individual behavior can sometimes distract from larger industrial, economic, and policy factors that contribute to global environmental change. His perspective encourages debate about responsibility, scientific interpretation, and how environmental solutions should be structured at societal and governmental levels.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

What if the most “sustainable” building is still harming the planet? Bryn Davidson has spent the last two decades trying to make buildings better for people and the planet — not just through design, but through the boring-but-powerful stuff most architects avoid: policy, zoning, and building codes.He explains why a “green” building can still be a climate disaster, talks about the idea of the “carbon iceberg” hiding under our nicest projects, and shares one simple rule about daylight that could make apartments feel instantly more livable. And then we get into the real controversy: why “protecting neighborhood character” can accidentally break housing, push sprawl, and lock cities into car-dependence.If you've ever wondered why doing the right thing still feels hard - this episode will make you see the system behind it.To explore more about Bryn Davidson and his work, you can follow him on Linkedin, Instagram @lanefab , or visit his website lanefab.com.Join me, Ladina, on this green journey, and don't forget to subscribe for more insightful conversations about sustainable living and architecture and drop us a review.

"Critical minerals and materials…are essential for key economic and national security technologies that help to fuel great sectors in the United States and around the world…We're at a very interesting point in the United States for critical minerals and materials because the US Geological Survey… just released their draft version of their newly updated critical minerals list…(But) they're very difficult to come by. And for a lot of these materials, they are mined as byproducts and co-products. They're used in incredibly low volumes, and so it's very difficult for companies to sort of make money on producing them, which in the United States, of course, to get anybody to do anything they need to be able to make a profit…China has been able to dominate this space and establish a stranglehold over many of these types of supply chains for these different commodities."  Abby Wulf on Electric Ladies Podcast Critical minerals are foundational to all our technologies, from computers to automobiles, weaponry and national security, among others, but they are also scarce and difficult to procure, especially in the volumes needed. So, what are they and what can we do? Listen to Abby Wulf, a top critical minerals expert who recently left the Department of Energy as head of Critical Minerals in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. Abby previously served as the founding Executive Director of the Center for Critical Minerals at the nonprofit SAFE.   You'll hear about: ●        What critical minerals are, what makes them "critical," and where they come from. ●        How critical mineral supplies, and therefore the technologies that we rely on every day, are procured and affected by geopolitical dynamics, including Ukraine and China. ●        U.S. sources of these minerals and the financial incentives that were in the Inflation Reduction Act & Infrastructure Act that helped grow the sector….and so much more. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I think that there doesn't necessarily have to be a trade-off between making money and making a difference….I've just been trying to say yes, to every opportunity that has come my way. …There are going to be different fits and starts and seasons to your career. But the one thing that's sort of driven me more than salary even I would say, are really just experiences… There are so many different things to learn…so I've let my curiosity sort of drive where my next career move has gone…. There's no comfort in the growth zone and no growth in the comfort zone."

This episode connects dots we probably weren't supposed to. Diddy, MTV, and an era built on influence, access, and silence. Dave Chappelle's new special lands in that same space — funny, uncomfortable, and impossible to separate from the moment we're in. We close by asking our AI what it would do if it were human for a day, and somehow that becomes the most honest part of the episode and forced us to reflect. Funny, raw and emotional, but always, Carbon Footprint.

This episode features Dr. Jocelyn Johnson with STgenetics, a speaker at the 2025 ADSA Breeding and Genetics Symposium: Creating Carbon-Friendly Cows and Leveraging Omics to Improve the Sustainability of Dairy Production.Dr. Johnson's presentation was titled “Advancing dairy sustainability through feed-efficient genetics and genomics: Research insights and applications.” She gives an overview of her talk, which focused on data STgenetics has collected and how the company has applied that data to help their customers be more sustainable. She goes on to describe some of the residual feed intake research they've conducted in dairy cows. (4:20)STgenetics has invested in feed efficiency technology and has shown that selection for improved feed efficiency is correlated to a lower carbon footprint. Dr. Johnson talks about the heritability of feed efficiency compared to other traits we select for in the dairy industry.  (8:16)Dr. Pralle asks Dr. Johnson if STgenetics is measuring emissions from cows in their research. The company has partnered with Texas A&M to measure methane emissions in heifers divergently selected for feed efficiency. They found that more efficient animals produced less methane. Since that pilot project, STgenetics has purchased equipment to measure emissions at their own research facilities and has collected 2-3 years of data on beef, beef on dairy, and Holstein populations. Dr. Johnson emphasizes that the relationship between methane emissions and high milk production is somewhat of a balancing act. (11:29)The group discusses feed additives purported to decrease methane emissions and the differences in rumen microbiomes between high and low efficiency animals. They also talk about how best to get information and technology in front of producers.  (17:59)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Michael welcomes back Michael Maniates to talk about his new book, The Living-Green Myth: The Promise and Limits of Lifestyle Environmentalism, which questions the dominant narrative that individuals can make a significant environmental impact through their consumer choices and lifestyle changes. Michael explains why this myth persists, including some of the history behind the living-green myth. They also discuss strategies to think beyond our individual lifestyle choices to make real change, including Michael's list of seven new living-green ideas to help you make a difference.   Michael Maniates is a former Professor of Social Science and former Chair of Environmental Studies at Yale-NUS College in Singapore. His teaching, research, and writing have focused broadly on environmental politics, sustainable consumption, and oppositional forces to transformative environmental governance.  He has authored or co-authored five books and dozens of articles, opinion pieces, book chapters, and review essays. His recent work explored systems of sustainable consumption and production, social innovations for a low-growth/high-prosperity world, and the pitfalls and promise of conscientious consumption.Rethinking Growth Part 4: Higher Education (original conversation with Michael Maniates)

To watch a video version of this podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/vi0mEQemsckIn this episode of the Structure Talk podcast, hosts Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry sit down with Gene Myers, founder and CEO of Thrive Home Builders in Denver, Colorado. Gene shares his journey from land developer to one of the most forward-thinking builders in the country, known for creating high-performance, net-zero energy homes. The conversation explores the environmental impact of building materials—especially concrete—the importance of operational and embodied carbon, and how builders can balance sustainability with affordability. Gene also discusses innovative building practices, including fiberglass foundations, solar energy strategies, and the importance of building homes that serve both people and the planet.Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/events To check Gene's company, click here: https://thrivehomebuilders.com/TakeawaysGene Myers transitioned from land development to home building during the savings and loan crisis.Thrive Home Builders focuses on net-zero energy homes that are resilient, healthy, and sustainable.Net-zero homes produce as much energy as they consume annually, often using solar panels and battery storage.Concrete has one of the highest carbon footprints among building materials due to its production and transportation.Fiberglass foundation panels offer a promising alternative to concrete, with lower carbon impact and faster installation.Operational carbon (energy used to run a home) typically outweighs embodied carbon (carbon from materials and construction) over a home's lifetime.Gene emphasizes a rigorous cost-benefit analysis to ensure sustainability is attainable for everyday homebuyers.Partnerships with national labs and programs like Energy Star and DOE's Zero Energy Ready Home are key to Thrive's success.Builders should avoid “shiny new objects” unless they are cost-effective and scalable.Municipalities with climate action plans may value sustainable builders more than individual consumers.Building a strong, meaningful brand has long-term benefits and helps attract talent and opportunities.Chapters00:00 – Introduction and Sponsors01:32 – Guest Introduction: Gene Myers03:08 – Gene's Journey from Land Developer to Builder04:43 – What is a Net-Zero Energy Home?06:11 – Building Homes that Serve Communities07:48 – Advice for Builders: Don't Go It Alone10:16 – Leveraging Energy Star and DOE Programs12:11 – First Net-Zero Home and Choosing Solar Over Geothermal13:48 – Solar Leasing Options Explained15:45 – Balancing Sustainability with Cost19:29 – Why Thrive Avoids Geothermal and SIPs21:27 – The Carbon Footprint of Concrete25:00 – Fiberglass Foundation Panels as an Alternative28:08 – Operational vs. Embodied Carbon31:53 – Using OneClick LCA for Carbon Calculations33:26 – Offsetting Carbon Locally in Breckenridge35:47 – Municipalities vs. Consumers: Who Values Sustainability More?39:30 – What Thrive Homes Look Like

"Regardless of what's happening with kind of the ESG backlash conversation here, especially in the US, our other jurisdictions are coming hard and fast on regulatory…It doesn't matter what's happening in the broader ESG backlash …The other piece is, our corporate customers that have their own set of goals and expectations have absolutely not led up on us on wanting to see us continue to progress and move forward and drive change and help them drive change, because that is their expectation of us as a large scale supplier." Page Motes on Electric Ladies Podcast If you're thinking of renting a car on your next trip either for business or the holidays, you may think differently about which company to rent from and why after listening to this episode. As many companies that want to be environmentally sound and climate resilient twist due to a potential ESG backlash, Hertz is pushing full speed ahead on their commitments. Why? How? Listen to Page Motes, Chief Compliance & Sustainability Officer at Hertz explain in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ● How Hertz is expanding its fleet of EVs – and why demand for them is growing. ● What corporate sustainability reporting and compliance look like in this day of ESG pushback and A.I., especially in an industry being reinvented while they drive. ● Where the risks and opportunities are today in this industry at the intersection of the automotive and travel sectors. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "I think a lot of times people in their mid-career have a very specific idea of this ladder that they have and this path specific to either the next job they want or if they want to be in an impact job. That impact job looks like X. And what I have learned is that there are lots of different types of jobs that make a direct difference, and there's a lot of different types of jobs that can drive impact. And so kind of the first thing is open the aperture and have lots of conversations with a lot of different kinds of groups. …Shadow, (ask) do you need help with that project?

Send me a messageWhat if your fleet could drive further, burn less fuel, and cut emissions — all without adding a single new vehicle?In this final episode under the Sustainable Supply Chain name (before we evolve into the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast next week), I sit down with Naeem Bari, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder of Linxup, to explore how telematics is transforming small- and medium-sized fleets into powerhouses of efficiency, safety, and sustainability.You'll hear how Linxup's plug-and-play system helped customers slash 373,000 hours of idling in a year, saving over 1,650 tonnes of CO₂ - and why real-time driver feedback doesn't just reduce fuel bills, it changes behaviour. We uncover how accountability and smart coaching make roads safer, how accessible tech levels the playing field for small operators, and how AI will soon help fleets anticipate problems before they occur.This conversation is full of practical lessons on resilience, responsibility, and what happens when technology meets common sense on the road.

“We were the first to lightweight our bottles. So, if you think about a typical bottle of soda, it's about 27 grams of plastic. Our bottles, this year, I think they're coming in at 6.6 grams. So it's incredibly lightweight. I always say, you know, it's a Niagara bottle if it crinkles…We've created label-less bottles so they're easier to recycle. …And, we're now running lines that are in entirely recycled content. So we are very committed to creating bottles that that do not harm the planet, and also that allow for the most circular of products while we also think about what the bottle of the future might look like.” Ann Canela on Electric Ladies Podcast The International Bottled Water Association reported recently that 16.4 billion gallons of bottled water were sold in the United States in 2024.That's a 2.9% increase over 2023 – not to mention all the other bottled drinks we consume. Drinking water is good for you. But there's the plastic to deal with. What responsibility does the bottling company take for all that plastic and their role in society? Listen to Ann Canela, Head of Niagara Cares and Director of Corporate Giving at Niagara Water in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ●        How bottled water gets to your local market, ●        How Niagara Water dramatically reduced the plastic content of its bottles and is taking steps to improve recycling. ●        Where corporate philanthropy is focused at this tumultuous moment when so many government grants were abruptly cancelled. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   “I think the best thing you can do is define you first….what your values are at this time, and have been for probably since you were a child. And some definition to what your purpose is in the world….The second one I think is.…I would just encourage, especially midcareer women to think, ‘what if the things that were right for you, you knew they were right for you because they were easy, not hard?' Because they came to you in a way that felt aligned versus you're scrapping and fighting for them.…Hard work is a core of success, but it's not the only way to get there.…So what if we considered things that came to us and were at our feet as the right path for us to go down?” Ann Canela on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.   You'll also like: ·       Helping Communities Recycle More: Keefe Harrison, President of The Recycling Partnership ·       America Recycles Day: Emily Tipaldo, U.S. Plastics Pact ·       Solutions to Our Waste Problem: Melissa Modica, Waste Harmonics ·       Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Movies & Television Productions: Emellie O'Brien, President of Earth Angel – who is taking a lot more than plastic bottles out of movie productions. ·       Business Leaders Bridging The Gap – Women business leaders from The Earth Day Women's Summit on the unique role of business in addressing the climate crisis.   Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.   Thanks for subscribing on Apple Podcasts or iHeartRadio and leaving us a review!

“What we're seeing is, as the new carbon economy moves forward – and this is critical to businesses to operate in the future, in the next five, 10 years – it's colliding with the digital transformation and financial transformation. And so, I think one of the essential things our customers are asking is. ‘how do we bring together the Chief Sustainability Officer, the CIO and the CFO and the new market, digital and carbon economy as we go forward?' Because you need all three lenses to make a holistic decision for both the growth and resiliency of your company.” Mandi McReynolds on Electric Ladies Podcast Artificial Intelligence, A.I., is transforming sustainability work, from data collection to analysis to reporting. It's a tool to help assess risks and see opportunities, but humans bring the superpower. How? Listen to Mandi McReynolds, Chief Sustainability Officer at Workiva in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        How Workiva is leveraging A.I. to serve its clients across the board – from assessing materiality, to financial reporting and sustainability reporting, ●        How to use A.I. to minimize boring work and free up people to be more strategic and creative – in a few unique ways. ●        How to ensure the integrity of the data you're accessing with A.I. – and how to reduce the risk of your data being contaminated by A.I. hallucinations, etc. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:  “Your job isn't to know the answer. Your job is to ask all the right questions of where the business is going and think about your lens is adding value because you're going to ask a different question….Don't be afraid….(Align) with people who could see the possibility of (your) experience. And… take that stretch job and just remember you're in the room to ask different questions, and that's perfectly fine. So, take the stretch and then lean into your experience that allows you to have a different lens and a different perspective.” Mandi McReynolds on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sat down with Ollie Taylor, Founder & Director of Marine Futures, to talk about one of the toughest nuts to crack in sustainability, decarbonising the marine industry. Boats, big or small, don't often top climate discussions, yet their materials, manufacturing, and fuel use carry a hefty footprint.Ollie explains how Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) can reveal the true environmental cost of marine products, from resin to recycling, and why so many “green” designs turn out to be anything but. We unpack how his platform, Marine Shift 360, is helping designers and builders make data-led choices early in the design phase, where up to 80% of a product's total impact is decided.We also dive into the data problem: how poor visibility, outdated datasets, and supplier secrecy distort sustainability claims. Ollie argues that transparency, education, and automation are key to bringing LCA into the mainstream, making it as essential as CAD or CFD in engineering.Other highlights include the promise of circular design to stabilise volatile supply chains, the limits of regulation versus commercial pressure, and why profitability and sustainability must align for real progress.If you care about data-driven design, circularity, and cutting emissions at the source, this episode is worth your time.

In today's episode, Robert is joined by Sandy Munro, a leading figure in engineering and a passionate advocate for battery electric vehicles. Together, they delve into the growing shortage of tradespeople, toolmakers, and engineers, and why attracting fresh talent into these critical fields is more urgent than ever. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, from Telo's innovative compact electric truck to Redwood's work in battery recycling and creating a circular supply chain. They also unpack common misconceptions about EV costs and clean energy, while exploring how businesses can make the transition to more sustainable power sources. To round out the discussion, Robert and Sandy take a step back to examine the state of the EV market as a whole, and the outdated regulations that continue to slow down meaningful progress.   00:00 Introduction 05:00 Increased Sales in the US  08:40 Ford Announcement  11:15 Telo Truck  16:10 Shortage of Tradesmen & Engineers 22:10 Redwood Battery Recycling  27:00 Debunking Cost Myths 28:45 Bringing Clean Energy to Businesses 29:50 Solar Panels  34:10 EVs 40:00 Restrictions & Legacy Rules  43:00 Lucid Vehicles  44:40 Ford  46:30 Shortage of Tradesmen & Engineers 48:00 General Electric History 51:50 Made in China    @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show Everything Electric VANCOUVER - Vancouver Convention Center - 5th, 6th & 7th September 2025 Everything Electric FARNBOROUGH - Farnborough International - 11th & 12th October 2025 Everything Electric MELBOURNE - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #electricvehicles #evs #renewableenergy

Send me a messageSupply chains are responsible for the majority of global emissions, yet they remain the hardest to decarbonise. In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I sit down with Saskia van Gendt, Chief Sustainability Officer at Blue Yonder, to explore how data, AI, and end-to-end visibility are changing that equation.Saskia brings two decades of sustainability experience across government, retail, and manufacturing. We dig into the urgent challenge of Scope 3 emissions - why they make up 60%+ of global carbon output, why they're so difficult to measure, and how regulatory pressure is finally starting to unlock action.We discuss how AI-powered supply chain platforms can optimise sourcing decisions on the fly, set carbon budgets, and reduce waste, from manufacturing to reverse logistics. Saskia shares real-world examples, from cutting a million transport miles in South America to reducing food waste by 15% through demand-supply optimisation.We also cover the overlap between resilience and sustainability, the impact of tariffs and CBAM, and how leaders can align sustainability targets with operational KPIs. The big takeaway? Sustainability isn't a compliance box, it's a strategic advantage for retailers, manufacturers, and logistics providers willing to integrate it into core supply chain decisions.If you're a supply chain leader looking to make measurable progress on emissions reduction, waste management, and resilience, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Who's a good boy? We love our pets (how could we not?) – and they love us back. But the way we care for our furry companions says a lot about how we consume, what we value, and the systems we're part of. In Episode Three, we reveal the environmental pawprint of having pets and what it can teach us about ourselves. Not to worry though – we're still allowed to have nice things, including pets.

On this week's episode of The Carbon Footprint, we explore the impact of everything from crime stats to card games to cosmic infidelity. Two mayors somehow reduced homicide rates in cities that were basically real-life Call of Duty maps. The Epstein files? Turns out the explosive reveal landed with all the intensity of a soggy Post-it note. We also ask the hard questions—like what it feels like to get cheated on by Stephen Hawking (spoiler: the betrayal is both emotional and theoretical). And in the biggest gamble of all, Uno is coming to casinos—because nothing says high stakes like losing your mortgage money on a skip card. Society's a mess—we're just here to track the footprints.

Summer is here, vacation is calling, and Living Planet is out of the office. But not to worry, we've lined up five great episodes of our favorite tips for living a greener life. Take a spin with us in Episode One as we weigh the pros and cons of driving an EV versus hanging on to an older car. The experts we spoke with had some surprising answers.

In this episode, Nathan Wrigley talks with Charlotte Bax at WordCamp Europe about making websites more environmentally sustainable. Charlotte shares her journey into sustainable web design, offers practical advice on reducing a website's carbon footprint, like choosing green web hosting, optimising images, improving UX, applying caching, and managing visitor traffic, and introduces advanced concepts like grid-aware websites. The conversation also touches on WordPress's role in digital sustainability and recent efforts to revive its sustainability team. Charlotte offers resources and invites listeners to connect for further advice on building greener websites. If you've ever wondered how digital choices impact the planet, and what steps you can take today to help, this episode is for you.

Chris Weld worked for years in emergency rooms, then ditched that career and bought an old farm in Massachusetts. He set up a distillery and started making prize-winning spirits. When cannabis was legalized, he jumped into that too — and the first few years were lucrative. But now? It turns out that growing, processing, and selling weed is more complicated than it looks. He gave us the grand tour.  (Part three of a four-part series.) SOURCES:Chris Bennett, operations manager at Berkshire Mountain Distillers.Luca Boldrini, head of cultivation at The Pass.Yasmin Hurd, director of the Addiction Institute at Mount Sinai.Chris Weld, founder and owner of Berkshire Mountain Distillers. RESOURCES:"As America's Marijuana Use Grows, So Do the Harms," by Megan Twohey, Danielle Ivory, and Carson Kessler (The New York Times, 2024)."Evaluation of Dispensaries' Cannabis Flowers for Accuracy of Labeling of Cannabinoids Content," by Mona M.
