Podcasts about clean air

This episode was originally recorded in July 2025, and updated in December 2025. Happy Holidays from the Zero team. When exactly China’s emissions peak will make a big difference to the fate of the planet. That moment has come, according to Lauri Myllyvirta, co-founder of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. A combination of factors – including a huge deployment of renewables and electrification of transport – has put China’s emissions into a structural decline. This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi asks Myllyvirta how confident he is that this really is a peak? What’s behind the decline in emissions? And how will the trade war with the US affect China’s climate and energy policies in the years to come? Explore further: Lauri's latest analysis for Carbon Brief. Global Carbon Budget analysis.

The organization targets three core stakeholders: the corporate world, policymakers, and investors seeking startups where environmental solutions are baked into the bottom line. Peter Simek, EarthX's CEO, explains how reframing climate action around shared values—stewardship, economic opportunity, and love of the land—unlocks support that crisis messaging alone cannot reach.The doom story doesn't sell, Simek explained. “We're not motivated as a species by doomsday language. It puts people in fight-or-flight mode.” He points out how climate became an identity issue, tangled up in culture-war debates over hamburgers and gas-powered trucks, when the real conversation should center on clean air, clean water, and protecting the places we love. “The EPA and the Clean Air and Clean Water Act were passed during the Nixon administration,” he notes. “There are ways to message this that appeals across lines.”Simek bets heavily on bottom-up action as EarthX works to build bridges. States, cities, and private capital often move faster than federal mandates, he argues, and they're harder to reverse with a single executive order. Texas leads the nation in renewable energy deployment because wind and solar make bottom-line sense. “Even as there's a policy turn against it, there's still the driving reality that solar and wind are viable energy sources,” he says. A new event in 2026, the EarthX Institute, will focus on two policy priorities: nuclear energy, where bipartisan consensus is growing, and urban biodiversity.Whether conversations at forums like EarthX translate into policy velocity that matches the pace of climate impacts remains to be seen. Simek says he stays focused on tracking downstream results, specifically the investments funded, the coalitions built, and the policies incubated from the local level up. “It's about finding those ways in which there's common sense, common ground, common values,” he says. “Elements to talking about nature and the environment that no one can really disagree with.”Learn more about EarthX and its upcoming April 2026 conference at earthx.org.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

Buildings consume 39% of United States total energy whilst HVAC professionals face constant pressure balancing energy efficiency against occupant health and comfort despite these fields often conflicting in design priorities.Professor Stefano Schiavon from UC Berkeley, global leader in thermal comfort with over 15,154 research citations, explains why HVAC systems exist primarily to protect people and create healthy comfortable spaces rather than save energy, how particulate matter sensors throughout buildings enable better control decisions, why furnace fan only mode during wildfires provides automatic air cleaning using existing equipment, and how UC Berkeley's 25 year occupant satisfaction database reveals only 40% of people feel satisfied with thermal environment despite 80% satisfaction targets.With expertise spanning personal environmental controls, radiant heating cooling systems and post occupancy evaluation research methods, Professor Schiavon shares practical solutions including smart thermostat automation connecting outdoor sensor networks and why turning systems off when leaving represents simplest most actionable energy saving advice alongside proper professional maintenance servicing. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUTHVAC systems designed protect people create healthy spacesParticulate sensors both intake throughout building enable decisionsFurnace fan only mode wildfires recirculates large airForty percent thermal satisfaction versus eighty percent targetsTurn systems off leaving professional maintenance simple adviceGUEST DETAILS Professor Stefano Schiavon is Professor of Architecture and Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley, leading expert in building science researching how to reduce building energy consumption (39% US total energy use) whilst ensuring occupant health, happiness and productivity through improved indoor environmental quality. Key leader at Center for Environmental Design Research running Berkeley's advanced MS and PhD programmes in Building Science, he is recognised worldwide for thermal comfort and indoor air quality expertise focusing on practical low energy solutions including personal environmental controls, radiant heating cooling systems and new ventilation methods. Using detailed lab experiments, advanced computer simulations and real world post occupancy evaluation surveys, his research has earned 15,154 citations with h-index of 61, winning ASHRAE Ralph Nevins Award with findings reported by Wall Street Journal and CNN.Connect with Professor Schiavon:Website: https://ce.berkeley.edu/people/faculty/schiavonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanoschiavon/Center for Environmental Design Research, UC BerkeleyMORE INFORMATIONThere is also a wealth of industry information on air quality and how to improve it on our website at camfil.comLet's Talk Clean Air is produced for Camfil by DustPod.ioQUOTESWe are not designing HVAC systems with the aim to save energy. We are there to protect people, to create spaces that are healthy and comfortable. If we compromise on the air quality outside is polluted, we bring outside air in. If we bring those pollutants inside, we're going to damage people. - Professor Stefano SchiavonIf we can introduce that technology that allows us to ventilate, to heat, cool, to provide light only where people are, then we could save a substantial amount of energy. - Professor Stefano SchiavonThe main reason is that people do not have a good sense of air quality. The fact that we don't see air, we don't properly perceive it, then there is a higher chance that we don't spend enough time and attention. That's why focusing on regulation for air quality is probably the most important aspect." - Professor Stefano SchiavonKEYWORDS#EnergyEfficiency #OccupantHealth #ThermalComfort #IndoorAirQuality #HVACDesign

What happens when the world's most ambitious climate state runs head-on into a hostile federal government? Can California still lead the clean-energy transition while battling rising costs, wildfires and the Trump government's sweeping tariffs? And what does a “pragmatic reset” on climate policy look like when the stakes have never been higher?This week on Cleaning Up Bryony Worthington sits down with Liane Randolph, former Chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and longtime public servant, shaping California's climate, energy, and air-quality strategy. Across roles spanning the Public Utilities Commission and state natural resources agencies, Randolph has been at the center of some of the most consequential policy decisions in the United States — from the rise of rooftop solar and utility-scale storage to the creation of zero-emission vehicle mandates and the state's pioneering cap-and-invest system.Together, they unpack how California built the modern EV market, the origins of the famous “duck curve,” and why central planning turned out to be critical for keeping the lights on in a decarbonizing grid. Randolph also details the extraordinary federal pushback now facing the state: repealed Clean Air Act waivers, legal battles over truck and car standards, and tariff-driven supply-chain shocks that threaten progress.The episode explores:The past and future of California's zero-emission vehicle strategy — from catalytic converters to the birth of TeslaWhy batteries exploded onto the grid, and how wildfire adaptation is reshaping costsThe mechanics and impacts of California's whole-economy cap-and-invest programThe new affordability crisis — and whether a pragmatic climate “reset” is neededElectric aviation, high-speed rail, and the technologies California should bet on nextThe state's 2045 net-zero planning — and which sectors will need breakthroughs like DAC and industrial CCSLeadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

When the 1952 London fog killed people in large numbers, it became a wake-up call that air pollution could be deadly—inspiring a young medical student named Jon Samet to dedicate 40+ years to understanding how the air we breathe affects our health. Now a leading authority who has shaped EPA policy and US Surgeon General reports since 1984, Dr. Samet reveals how tobacco industry fraud tactics resurfaced in air pollution debates, why COVID taught us that we humans are powerful infectious sources in small particles suspended for hours, how radon is the one carcinogen you can measure yourself for $30-50 and actually fix, and why MERV-A filter ratings matter more than standard MERV for real-world efficiency.Plus the critical reminder that indoor spaces where we spend most of our time are places where we inhale dangerous things. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUTTobacco industry fraud tactics mirror air pollution industry science denialCOVID taught us people are powerful infectious sources needing controlRadon is measurable carcinogen you can test and mitigate yourselfAir filtration reduces infectious load; MERV-A ratings show real-world efficiencyIndoor air quality improves productivity, reduces absenteeism, attracts talented employeesGUEST DETAILS Dr. Jon Samet is a leading authority in environmental health who has dedicated over 40 years to understanding how inhaled pollutants affect public health. Former Dean and current Professor of Epidemiology, Dr. Samet has chaired key advisory committees for the EPA (Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee) and FDA, fundamentally shaping environmental health policy. Since 1984, he has been a crucial contributor to multiple US Surgeon General reports on smoking, documenting the health impacts of active and secondhand smoke. His work exposed tobacco industry campaigns of fraud and deception that attempted to undermine scientific evidence—tactics later replicated by air pollution industries.During COVID, he chaired a National Academies of Sciences committee developing frameworks for providing respiratory protection for the nation—recommendations that unfortunately never gained traction despite demonstrating critical needs. Dr. Samet earned membership in the National Academy of Medicine and continues advancing indoor air quality science, particularly post-COVID focus on controlling pathogen transmission in buildings. Based in Denver, he consults with building owners, school districts, and policymakers on implementing evidence-based air quality improvements. His expertise bridges epidemiology, aerosol science, regulatory policy, and practical building management—making him uniquely qualified to translate decades of public health research into actionable indoor air quality strategies.MORE INFORMATIONThere is also a wealth of industry information on air quality and how to improve it on our website at camfil.comLet's Talk Clean Air is produced for Camfil by DustPod.ioQUOTESYou know, when people ask me about radon, it is a carcinogen, but somebody can go buy a test kit, get back a result. How many carcinogens are there that you could measure yourself and do something about it? - Dr. Jon SametAirborne pathogens have always been with us and will remain with us. I think what COVID did is it taught us just what powerful sources of infection we people can be - Dr. Jon SametA couple of nights ago, I got on the train, and there's somebody with a very wet cough, coughing right in the middle of a very small space. And I'm thinking he should be wearing at the least a mask to prevent droplets from flying around, and in that small space probably I should have had on an N95. - Dr. Jon SametKEYWORDS#indoorairquality #radontest ing #airbornepathogens #secondhandsmoke #respiratoryprotection

Electric buses are not a pilot anymore. As Dorcus Wanjiru Kamotho explains, BasiGo already has ~100 e‑buses on the road across Kenya and Rwanda, with hundreds more reserved. The unlock: a Pay‑As‑You‑Drive model—lower deposit plus per‑km fee that covers charging and service—paired with night‑time charging on Kenya's largely renewable grid. We dive into local assembly with KVM (Thika), the new King Long platform to scale production, and how service capability (incl. CATL battery partnership) improves uptime. We also cover policy, open charging, and why passengers in Nairobi literally wait for the e‑bus even when a diesel bus arrives first.

Roni Hawe, Programme manager of the EPA's Environmental Monitoring programme, discusses the EPA's report which claims that around 1,700 premature deaths occur in Ireland each year because of poor air quality.

London has made huge strides in cleaning up its air – with nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter levels dropping sharply thanks to bold policies, investment in public transport, and the rise of electric vehicles. But proposed changes to the Cleaner Vehicle Discount could see EV drivers paying the congestion charge from Christmas Day, raising questions about the city's next steps.It's why the Electric London coalition, following The Standard's Leading the Charge campaign, is calling on London Mayor Sadiq Khan to reverse the decision to scrap EVs' exemption.In this 'Clean Air' episode, The Standard's Business Editor, Jonathan Prynn, speaks with Georgina McGivern and Valeria Pensabene from the London Clean Air Initiative, and Nick Smith from the Clean Air Fund, to explore what this shift could mean for businesses, residents, and the future of London's air quality.

In 1880 woedde in Ierland een conflict tussen herenboeren en pachters, met als inzet de huurprijzen die de boeren niet meer konden opbrengen. Zij vroegen bij de opzichter uitstel van betaling, met het omgekeerde resultaat: ze werden hun boerderijen uitgezet. Met een totaal onverwacht gevolg: het bedrijfsleven koos de kant van de boeren en weigerde nog zaken te doen met de landeigenaren. De naam van de opzichter was Charles Boycott. Ja, die dus. Werken boycots ? Af en toe, en dan vooral als ze spontaan beginnen tegen bedrijven. Een goed voorbeeld is Tesla , waarvan de verkoop instort, niet alleen door de succesvolle concurrentie uit China, maar ook door het gedrag en de opvattingen van grootaandeelhouder Elon Musk. Tegen regeringen is een boycot zelden een succes omdat ze nooit wereldomvattend zijn. Iran, Rusland en Noort-Korea, bijvoorbeeld, doen uitstekende zaken met India en China. Er zijn nog steeds Europese landen die Russische olie kopen, en Turkije is open voor business voor iedereen. Sancties, die al sinds de Griekse tijd bestaan, zijn de afgelopen decennia populairder, omdat ze specifieker zijn. Ze richten zich meer op producten en personen dan op landen. De opleggers van sancties zijn ervan overtuigd dat het een probaat middel is. Complete onzin is het misschien niet, maar wel bijna. De beste illustratie van dit moment is de EU, die nu haar 19de sanctiepakket tegen Rusland instelt. Het 19de sanctiepakket, op het moment waarop Rusland zijn grootste aanval sinds het begin van de oorlog doet. Het 19de sanctiepakket, terwijl Rusland recordverkopen aan olie doet aan India en China, maar ook aan Hongarije en Slowakije. Volgens het Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air gaat er ook Russisch vloeibaar gas naar Frankrijk, België en Spanje. Over de periode 1970 tot 2023 zijn goede cijfers beschikbaar. Van de Amerikaanse sancties wereldwijd werkten er welgeteld 13 procent. Het westerse frame luidt al sinds 2022 dat de sancties tegen Rusland werken. Maar de cijfers zijn, voor een land in oorlog, opmerkelijk goed. Ondanks de honderden miljarden bevroren dollars in het buitenland, is Rusland er volgens het IMF in geslaagd sinds de invasie in Oekraïne een overschot op te bouwen van 375 miljard dollar, 50 procent meer dan daarvóór. De roebel is stabiel en staat hoog, al is 100 miljard dollar per jaar aan defensie veel geld. Poetin wil alleen onderhandelen als Oekraïne afstand doet van de door hem geannexeerde provincies. Dus als Oekraïne capituleert. En geen moment eerder. En wij maar soebatten over sancties. 19 pakketten. Ziet Brussel nou zelf niet in dat die niets opleveren?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Building managers face a critical dilemma when implementing air quality monitoring systems: how to educate occupants about invisible health threats, without creating panic or overwhelming them with real-time data alerts. This episode explores practical ways for effective air quality communication, including customizable notification systems that adapt to different comfort levels and gamification approaches that engage rather than frighten. We cover the science behind particulate matter, debunks common myths about building immunity to pollutants, and introduce the groundbreaking Global Open Air Quality Standards (GO AQS) initiative.Our guest Sotirios Papathanasiou is a world-leading air quality expert, author of the "See the Air" blog, and spearheads the GO AQS project involving 150 global experts. He has over a decade of experience helping organizations implement practical air quality monitoring solutions without overwhelming building occupants.THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT●        Impact of Covid-19 on air quality awareness●        Educating the public without fear●        Myths about particulate matter and CO2 as a pollutant●        Need for Global Open Air Quality Standards●        The challenges of setting standards●        Air Quality as a human rightGUEST DETAILSSotirios Papathanasiou is an air quality expert with substantial experience in the field of environmental issues but particularly indoor air pollution. His is the author of three books on air pollution, for adults and kids as well as curate a popular web blog ‘See the Air'.

Is nature nonpartisan? Earlier this year we had an interview with Dr. Caleb Scoville from Tufts University, who received an Andrew Carnegie fellowship to explore whether environmental issues are highly partisan. It can certainly seem that here in America just about everything is partisan these days, but is nature partisan?  As another of our guests pointed out, those who enjoy going out into nature come in all political flavors. That said, our guest today is Benji Backer, the driver behind the Nature is Nonpartisan campaign to get the American public – all of us – to convince the decision makers in Washington that the environment is too important to be a partisan issue.

Mike Feldstein is back on on the podcast, but this time, we're not just talking air purifiers. Mike, founder of the Jaspr Air Scrubber (stronger than an air purifier!), is building a first-of-its-kind school that puts children's health, development, and connection to nature at the center of education. We explore how traditional school systems may be working against kids' well-being and what can be done to change that—from aligning school schedules with natural circadian rhythms, to integrating values-based learning, clean air, and nature into the daily curriculum. This conversation will open your eyes to how deeply our environment impacts children, and how a school designed for health first could transform not just learning, but life. Topics we cover: How indoor air quality affects children's health, focus, and behavior The difference between an air scrubber and a traditional air purifier Ways healthier classroom environments can reduce illness and absenteeism The link between circadian rhythms and cognitive performance Why nature-based education is powerful for kids' growth and resilience Sponsored by: Jaspr — For a limited time, get $400 off with code CLAUDIA at jaspr.co/CLAUDIA

Water is our lifeblood and Clean Water (along with Clean Air and Clean Soil) is one of our core Three Asks, the non-negotiable baselines that underpin a flourishing future for people and life on our planet. Getting there, means everyone beginning to care at a bone-deep level, way beneath our conscious minds and having a sense of how we might get there, supported by evidence of what works (or doesn't) so that we can create positive feedback loops of growing community between the human and Beyond-Human worlds. Living this into being is one of the core pillars of the Great Transformation and one of the groups working towards it is the River Dôn Project in Sheffield, one of the many projects overseen by Opus Independents. One of the project leads is Jonny Douglas, and he's today's guest.Jonny imagines a world where the vast majority of people have the means and opportunity to find and fulfil their true potential. He has worked as a designer, a trainer, educator and facilitator in human skills and creativity in universities, colleges, schools and businesses.  At Opus he is a Co-Founder and Network Coordinator of the UBI Lab Network and Technology Lead for the River Dôn Project, among other roles across the portfolio. He believes our only path forward is one of mutually assured flourishing and that now is the time to build those alternative realities, together. I met Jonny last July at the Social Enterprise Network Summer Conference in Sheffield and the conversation about the River Dôn Project was one of the single most inspiring, thought -provoking I have ever had. So, with great delight, here we are, exploring routes to Mutually Assured Flourishing.  Enjoy! Jonny at Opus https://www.weareopus.org/team/jonny-douglasJonny on all socials: Linked in  |  Pinterest  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  BlueskyRiver Dôn Project website  |  Engagement Platform  River Dôn Project - Bluesky  |  Linked in  |  Instagram  |  Mailing list  |  DonateMentions in the ShowJames Lock of Opus #279 https://accidentalgods.life/now-then-building-networks-of-citizen-power-with-james-lock-of-opus-in-sheffield/Debs Grayson from Opus #283 https://accidentalgods.life/red-pill-blue-pill-green-pill-true-pill-creating-a-trustworthy-media-commons-with-debs-grayson-of-opus-independents/Hospicing Modernity with Vanessa De Oliveira Andreotti ~ Festival of  Debate, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZgq3h6pPxU #Brilliant Minds: BONUS podcast with Kate Raworth, Indy Johar & James Lock at the Festival of Debatehttps://accidentalgods.life/brilliant-minds-bonus-podcast-with-kate-raworth-indy-johar-james-lock-at-the-festival-of-debate/Opus https://www.weareopus.org/ Festival of Debatehttps://festivalofdebate.com/ PechaKucha Sheffield https://www.pechakucha.com/communities/sheffield Sheffield Souphttps://sheffieldsoup.wordpress.com/what-is-soup/ Food Workshttps://thefoodworks.org/ Sofar Soundshttps://www.sofarsounds.com/cities/sheffield Dôn Catchment Rivers Trusthttps://dcrt.org.uk/ For a deeper dive, other links are available on a Google Doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/172pnHQdb14dgQmphixCoFgea5j_kapzpSOeIlgZUko8/What we offer: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join our next Open Gathering 'Dreaming Your Death Awake' (you don't have to be a member) it's on 2nd November - details are here.If you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership where we endeavour to help you to connect fully with the living web of life.

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on July 10th, 2025. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio. Presenter/Producer: Kris Boswell.

California has long led the nation in pioneering clean air regulations, from grappling with smog to setting ambitious zero-emission vehicle mandates. The Golden State's unique authority under the Clean Air Act has allowed it to set emissions standards that exceed federal requirements. Around a dozen other states have followed California's lead. But that leadership now faces an unprecedented challenge. Last month, Congress voted to revoke three Clean Air Act waivers that the Biden administration had granted California. It was the first time in over sixty years that federal lawmakers blocked any of California's dozens of car and truck rules, and the state quickly responded with a lawsuit. So what happens next? Can California slash emissions from the transportation sector without this federal support? If not, how can it reach its overall climate goals? And what does this political battle mean for the future of clean transportation—and states' abilities to regulate emissions—nationwide? This week, Bill Loveless speaks with Mary Nichols about California's role in clean air policy, the impact of losing its vehicle emission waivers, how the auto industry is reacting, and what all of this means for the future of climate action in America. Mary is a distinguished environmental lawyer and policy expert with over five decades of experience in clean air regulation. She held a number of senior posts in federal and state government, including a long tenure as chair of the California Air Resources Board. She is also a former distinguished visiting fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy, Columbia SIPA. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

As we head into the solstice- that moment when the sun stands still—whether you're in the northern hemisphere where we have the longest day, or the southern, where it's the longest night—this solstice feels like a moment of transformation. The world is turning over, turning a page. The old system is visibly—palpably—breaking apart. A new system will arise from the ashes, because there is always going to be a system. The question is what it looks like, works like, feels like. We are a prosocial, communitarian species, but our culture has shattered from our knowing of our integral place in the All That Is, so it's possible we might end up with a system predicated on hatred, underpinned by fear, where a small number of incredibly frightened people let their traumatised parts run a scorched earth policy in an effort to hold back everything of which they are most afraid, but I am increasingly hopeful that what we're seeing in places is the extinction burst of the old system: its death throes if you like. As I record this, there has been an estimated turnout in the US for the No Kings rallies of between ten and twelve million. This is an astonishing number. If it's true, it's well within shouting distance of the 3.5% of the total population that was considered a tipping point in previous social movements in our recent history: the abolition of slavery in the UK, the civil rights movement in the US, gay marriage in too many nations to count. The difference is that these numbers are based on a pre-internet age. We genuinely don't know what happens when people can see the images on their phones and realise how many of the people around them share the common values of decency, compassion, integrity, generosity-of-spirit.  So if this is potentially a turning point in the making in the US, how do we make this bigger, grander, more of a global movement?  We know we need total systemic change, but how do we make it happen?  How do we create lasting change in our ways of organising everything from food to water to shelter to education. How do we sort our mess of a governance system so we can find those with the greatest wisdom and give them as much power as they need and no more, at all the levels of our culture? As ever, I think the answer lies in our narratives - when ideas become common currency, then we begin to build them into our visions of how the world is and has been and could be. If we can become bold, evolutionary imagineers and craft stories of a different way of organising, loving, relating, caring…then we can live it into being. Which means we need to know in the marrow of our bones what this feels like. Imagination begins in our perception of the possible and part of the horror of the Trauma culture is the systematic stifling of possibility. From our books to our movies to our TV to our TikTok videos, so much is predicated on Trauma Culture narratives of scarcity, separation and powerlessness.  We are told this is the way the world is. That it is human nature to  lack all morality and engage in zero sum strategies that belittle, disempower and crush everyone around us.  Which it isn't. Nonetheless, predatory Capitalism is designed to keep us from imagining things differently. If we're stressed about earning enough to survive while at the same time being hooked on the things we absolutely have to have to feel better, and are being steadily more sedated by the incessant dopamine drips of social media…then we literally cannot step out into other ways of being. So this is our task now - to wean ourselves off the stuff we neither need nor (really) want; off the dopamine drips, and onto things that make our hearts sing so we can build new stories predicated on connection, agency and sufficiency; stories where we are self-conscious nodes in the web of life, and it's our job to ask 'What do you want of me?', listen to the answers, then carry them out to the best of our ability.  That's it. Easy to say. Harder to do.  But we can boil things down to 9 basic concepts:Three Values: Integrity, Compassion, Generosity-of-SpiritThree Baselines: Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil Three ReWoven Connections: between all parts of Ourselves; ourselves and Each Other; Ourselves and the Web of Life. What happens if every single thing we think or do or say or dream is based in these three sets of three? How would our days change? This isn't going to happen overnight, but we can make the commitment to live by them now. Here. This moment.  It's not going to be easy: changing behaviours never is. But we have baselines to work from.  And we might focus on one at a time.  What happens if Clean Water is our priority? How does it change how we live?  What happens if we make Integrity the heart and soul of every interaction through our days - beginning with ourselves? What does it feel like to commit to re-weaving clean, clear, courageous, compassionate connections between all parts of ourselves, ourselves and each other, ourselves and the More than Human world? Clearly I think the inner work is the foundation of everything, though I am aware that this isn't the case for everyone: if you work better in the outer world, if you'd rather lead with head than heart, that's fine, truly.  Go for it.  Find the Values that speak to you and the Baselines you can work with and go for it.  If the Inner Work speaks more to you then know that we in the west need to heal ten thousand years of Trauma Culture in half a decade. It's been at least that long for some of us since our ancestors knew themselves to be an integral part of the web of life. This is the work of the spiritual warrior. It's going to take astonishing levels of courage and commitment. Nobody is pretending this is easy.  But it is essential.And because this is the water I swim in, I'd like to share the basics of how we might get there. It starts with Grounding - with having a clear sense of our physical presence in the world, the flesh and the bones and the teeth of who we are; with sensing the solid earth beneath us as support, containment, holding, as the reality of who and what we are. When our feet are on the earth, there is nowhere left to fall. When we have a sense of roots going down into the earth, we have connection, holding and an open path from the heart of the earth to our heart. If we connect it on up to the heart-mind of the Universe, we have the three hearts in alignment. Just doing this is huge. But then, as we begin really to live in our bodies, so we can begin to recognise the places where trauma sits; the frozen places, the stuck places, the parts of ourselves that leap to our own defence - and are brilliant and wonderful and creative - but who are probably defending against threats that occurred decades ago, if not longer. We carry generational trauma, civilisational trauma. And the healing is ours to do: the good news is that there's a lot of help out there - that just as we really need it, we're beginning really to get to grips with how healing can happen. One to one work is good if you have the means: the time and the money, but many of us don't - and that doesn't mean we can't do the work.  If you'd like to work in groups there's a huge amount.  We offer Gatherings and the Membership, but there's Listen to Thomas Hübl Mystic Cafe — I'll link to his podcast Point of Relation in the show notes —Tara Brach, Michael Meade, Bill Plotkin, Jon Young…a host of others are offering online work that helps you to reconnect to yourself and the land. You have to find out what helps you best, but there's a lot out there. So we do the inner work. And in doing it, we become the still point in the whirling world that...

When exactly China’s emissions peak will make a big difference to the fate of the planet. That moment has come, according to Lauri Myllyvirta, co-founder of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. A combination of factors – including a huge deployment of renewables and electrification of transport – has put China’s emissions into a structural decline. This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi asks Myllyvirta how confident he is that this really is a peak? What’s behind the decline in emissions? And how will the trade war with the US affect China’s climate and energy policies in the years to come?

If you listen to this podcast for any length of time, you'll know that I believe the way forward is predicated on our finding shared values—I'd go for integrity, compassion, courage and generosity of spirit as the baselines—and then a suite of clear asks in the outer world and needs in the inner world.  In logistical terms, at an absolute baseline, we need Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil. These are non negotiable and the fact that we currently have none of these is a grim indictment of how much we live in an economy that sucks the life out of everything rather than a society that grows. But we do have people who are working flat out to change the narrative on exactly these topics and this week's guest, Tim Smedley, is one of these.  Tim is an award-winning sustainability journalist who has worked with the BBC, the Guardian, Sunday Times and Financial Times. He is also a celebrated non-fiction writer. His first book, Clearing the Air: The Beginning and the End of Air Pollution, was shortlisted for the UK's Royal Society Science Book Prize. His latest: The Last Drop: Solving the World's Water Crisis was a Times Book of the Year and has been described as 'Smart, Sobering and Scholarly' which it certainly is.This is one of those books that's both terrifying, utterly compelling and—I'm glad to say—ultimately inspiring.  Yes, the world's water is in a desperate state.  Yes, it has been horribly mismanaged almost everywhere by the kleptocracy that masquerades as a democracy in our modern world.  But yes, we do have responses that will work, they have been carefully explored and water is one of those unifying elements that brings people together across tribal boundaries. We all need clean water and getting there means we need to find common principles by which we can live. Spoiler alert: turning water into a for-profit commodity is not a part of the solution.  Regenerative agriculture, re-Wilding our waters, beavers (yay!) and sane water saving/sparing practices definitely are. Tim is so knowledgeable and his books are both brilliantly researched and utterly personal.  He goes to the places he writes about and his first-hand experiences are priceless.  I have put links in the show notes for both of his books, plus the Medium article on DeGrowth which is where I first came across his work.  Please do explore afterwards.

California's car culture, trucking industry, and weather contribute to chronically bad air that it's been gradually improving with its own laws and regulations and the blessing of the EPA. But now under President Trump, the EPA and Republican Congress are taking away California's ability to clean up its air.  Also, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that passed through the House of Representatives on party lines guts multiple provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act, terminating or reducing tax credits for electric vehicles, clean hydrogen and advanced manufacturing.  Plus, at a former gravel mine in northwestern Pennsylvania, nonprofits are working to plant 70,000 trees as part of a larger project to reforest thousands of acres of degraded mine land in the region.
