Today we are joined by the founder of Criaterra, Adital Ela. Adital is an industrial designer by education and profession who was seeking the potential to make fully circular building products. She was inspired to do this when visiting India she saw how clay Chai cups were used and then tossed to the ground to return to their original form. After 12 years she then decided to set out to build Criaterra. In essence, they are an R&D company that aims to license out their IP for the production of fully circular building products. For the time being, they have focused on their MVP, decorative, non-structural tiles. In this conversation, we speak about her journey and the challenges of building a company like Criaterra. Our biggest takeaway was that it takes a lot of grit and resiliency to persist on this path. Adital has seen many struggles in the journey of building this company but is keeping the faith and working towards the vision of fully-circular structural building products. Prepare to be inspired.Peace out!

Madeleine Finlay speaks to Guardian West Coast reporter Maanvi Singh about the Biden administration's approval of a controversial new oil drilling project on Alaska's North Slope.

This week, Colin Fiske of Coalition for Responsible Transportation Priorities and Matt Simmons of EPIC join the show to talk about why the race to electrify cars and trucks isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to our climate woes. More - and larger - electric vehicles mean more mining lithium for batteries, which comes with social and environmental costs. And the more vehicles on our streets, the more dangerous those streets are for people walking and biking. One solution is building more housing close to where people work, shop, and study, so that we can free ourselves from auto-dependency.For more info:Achieving Zero Emissions with More Mobility and Less MiningSupport the show

Mike Bryson, a Professor of Sustainability Studies at Roosevelt University, joins us again to share his thoughts on what role the arts and humanities play in changing hearts and minds about climate change, water conservation, and sustainability. We discuss the current economic conditions and the job market for students working in the field of sustainability.

Super excited to share this with you. We've got someone who went to the same high school where Steve Jobs and Woz did back in the day. He then worked at Square on international expansion, went on to work with VC Legend Mike Maples, and eventually ended up as the Chief of Staff at Chris Sacca's, Lowercarbon Capital. We are talking about Shawn Xu. Shawn talked us through his journey to climate, what it takes to be a good VC, what they look for, the areas he's bullish on, and what he's working on now. I quite enjoyed this conversation (I say that a lot but I do mean it). Enjoy today's episode! Topics: 4:29 Intro to Shawn, his career journey, going to high school where Steve Jobs went and getting into VC11:37 Creating access and equity to the Silicon Valley mentality15:59 His climate journey24:38 The inside scoop on VCs - what skills do you need to developFinding 26:44Picking 27:54Winning 28:58Supporting 29:3131:54 Lowercarbon's Thesis34:29 The founders they look for36:49 Advice to Founders42:20 Areas he's bullish on44:42  His role at Lowercarbon Links: Connect with Shawn: The Lowercarbon Capital Website: Check out our Sponsor, NextWave Partners: Join the Slack Channel:  Follow CleanTechies on LinkedIn: HMU on Twitter: @silasmahner__________We are proud to continue working with NextWave as our official show sponsor for this podcast.

10K people a day pass the 60-year mark. There's no way to make the changes needed to protect our planet and society unless seniors bring their power into play. Here's my conversation with BOB FULKERSON, Lead National Organizer for THIRD ACT, the year-old organization founded by BILL McKIBBEN to mobilize Boomers and older to defend democracy and confront the Climate Crisis.

The polluters must pay. That's the message of a new campaign to hold the fossil fuel industry to account for the mounting costs of the climate crisis. Sue Big Oil was started by West Coast Environmental Law last year, and has since been taken up by a broad coalition of advocacy groups and British Columbians. We speak with David Ravensbergen of the Council of Canadians.

A Norfolk Southern train derailed in Alabama hours before the CEO was to testify before Congress. Tucker Carlson aired a piece including previously unreleased footage from January 6th and the swamp is freaking out. Meanwhile, a new poll showed that 61% of voters believe it is likely that undercover government agents helped provoke the Capitol riot. Former CDC director, Dr. Robert Redfield, testified that he was excluded from discussions of the origins and believes it was a result of U.S.-funded gain-of-function research, a former Medical Device Research & Development executive presented evidence of bad manufacturing practices in pharmaceuticals, and Pfizer stated in court that they simply delivered the fraud the government ordered. Pfizer testified they simply delivered the fraud the government ordered. Walmart is closing all its stores in Portland. The Climate Crisis and overpopulation are sick lies creating “climate mental health” issues in young people. Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews, a U.S. Marine Corps sniper, testified to Congress that he was denied permission to shoot the suicide bomber in Afghanistan that killed 13 service members and over 170 civilians. Jill Biden gave an International Women of Courage Award to a biological man. A former Clinton lawyer died from turbulence on a corporate aircraft. Bernie Sanders doesn't know the difference between equality and equity. Get seasonal chickens to have eggs year-round.

This week, we are joined by James Graham who is currently an assistant professor at CCA, and used to be faculty at Columbia University and handled publications there. His work heavily revolves around the planetary and climate crisis.

The Department of Justice issued a report that found that the Louisville Police Department has a pattern of using excessive force and targeting Black residents. Local activists see the report as "vindication," a justification of their long-held claims against the department. Chanelle Helm, an organizer and activist with Black Lives Matter Louisville, joins us. Then, Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes recently visited family in Australia. While listening to the radio, she heard broadcasters acknowledging the indigenous land they were on. That's the norm in Australia, but what is the significance? Aboriginal artist Tess Allas joins us. And, Pritzker Prize-winning architect David Chipperfield's work is often described as "understated." Now, Chipperfield is more interested in how cities develop than in designing individual buildings. He joins us.

Negotiations over Labor's major climate policy are in deadlock. With the government's tight deadline to pass its bill to cut greenhouse gas emissions looming, what's holding up this deal? And what's at stake if the parties fail to reach a compromise?Guardian Australia's climate and environment editor Adam Morton joins Jane Lee to discuss the details of Labor's safeguard mechanism and who will be crucial to its success

If you are a bit of a shipping nerd like me, this is going to be a great episode. We are joined by James Malley the co-founder of Paccurate where they are helping product shippers use smaller boxes so less air is shipped, resulting in fewer trucks to get the same products to your destination. This is a juggernaut of a business as they are able to service ginormous companies with a very light staff and it all came out of just being experts in solving annoying problems in the shipping space. This conversation talks all about...The shipping industry as a whole including packaging materials and incentivesHow the government is bringing regulation surrounding scope 3 emissionsAnd how they built their companyIf you are at all interested in shipping products, this should be a really fun episode for you. If not, then maybe skip to the second half where we start to talk about building the company. Peace out!

Today's guest, Dr Troy Vettese, is a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute. He's an environmental historian who, in addition to animal studies, has expertise in energy history and environmental economics. We discuss his book Half-Earth Socialism, which was co-authored with Drew Pendergrass and published by Verso in 2022. This episode of Knowing Animals is brought to you by AASA, the Australasian Animal Studies Association, which you should join today. It's also brought to you by the Animal Publics book series at Sydney University Press. Take a look at their new titles!

Stories and the way the press reports them shape our perception of the world and the Climate Crisis. While most major media companies have started to pay close attention to climate issues in recent years, often setting up their first environmental or climate desks, these beats are still understaffed to address the complex environmental narrative Mickey Huff, director of Project Censored and president of the Media Freedom Foundation, and Andy Lee Roth, associate director of the program, wrote an article for Earth911, Corporate Media Fiddle and the Planet Burns, about the environmental stories that were almost entirely ignored by the mainstream press in 2022. Andy Lee Roth joins Mitch Ratcliffe to talk about the stories and how the press can improve its environmental coverage.For 57 years, the Media Freedom Foundation's Project Censored has released an annual list of the most under-reported stories of the year. The environment and social justice issues are heavily featured in its State of the Free Press 2023 report. Andy explains how stories about oil subsidies totaling $5.9 trillion a year, smart ocean technology's impact on whales, and the the supression of Environmental Protection Agency toxic chemicals reports were discovered and reported by the independent press.

Will ski resorts survive climate change? It's a question many in the Alps and in mountainous areas around the world are asking. Warmer temperatures, less snow in the winter and melting glaciers all mean that ski resorts are looking at new ways of attracting tourists. Recently some 200 professional skiers, including US star Mikaela Shiffrin, published an open letter to the International Ski Federation, warning that their sport is in danger. FRANCE 24's Clovis Casali and Thibault Jeanpierre report from La Plagne in the French Alps, a resort already having to adapt to global warming.

At a time when many people are struggling to pay their energy bills, we hear how oil and gas giants are raking in the profits, while quietly scaling back their emission reduction targets. And we head to Micronesia, via the Caribbean, to find out how small island nations are faring amid the climate crisis.

Carolyn Baker, professor of psychology and history, psychotherapist for two decades and author of 15 books chats with me today about her newest book, co-authored with Andrew Harvey titled Radical Regeneration: Sacred Activism and the Renewal of the World. In our interview we'll discuss the prescription for the planet's restoration and renewal.  Included will be her assessment of where we stand today in terms of fixing big climate problems, the alternatives to industrialism and technology destroying the earth, how American natural proclivity for hope and optism factors into our potential ability to save ourselves and the planet and what blame belongs to Donald Trump.  Also we'll delve into how negative emotions such as fear, anger, grief and despair can be a good thing and Carolyn will define Sacred Activism and how we might "return to joy."

In a special live event held in partnership with The Conduit, we welcomed Sir David King, the former Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government and the Chairman of the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge; Sian Sutherland, the co-founder of A Plastic Planet, a global campaign aimed at reducing plastic pollution; and Ari Helgason, a climate technology investor who is passionate about finding and funding innovative solutions to the climate crisis. Their moderator was Pictet's Christoph Courth Head of Philanthropy Services at Pictet Wealth Management. They discuss how climate change impacts ecosystems and the species that rely on them and explore some of the innovative and ground-breaking solutions that are being developed to mitigate the effects of climate change and restore damaged ecosystems.

Welcome to season 3, episode 9 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.This week my guest is Katie Marra, a young changemaker, environmentalist, activist, and writer. Katie Marra is a member of several ocean-based environmental groups in New Jersey and additionally serves as editor in chief of The Captain's Log. She is looking to pursue a career in environmental science conducting field research as well as environmental journalism. As her passion for the planet began at a young age throughout summertime family cross- country camping trips, Katie eventually gravitated towards environmental clubs and journalism classes in her school. As editor in chief of the school newspaper, she writes monthly articles on happenings pertaining to the environment in order to spread awareness among her peers. One of her most recent articles featured a project she has spearheaded with her school's Green Team, in which she drew up a petition to remove plastic cutlery and trays in the cafeteria, gaining over 500 signatures from students and staff. Her efforts are proof that any student at any age can make a difference in their own communities. Katie has worked closely with environmental groups on and off campus, taking a position as a board member of Friends of Island Beach State Park in which she controls graphic design and social media. She also is a Clean Ocean Action Beach Captain, participating in the collection of pollutants along the New Jersey coastline and aiding in the crucial data analysis that follows the beach sweeps. In addition, she frequently attends climate protests in an attempt to spread awareness to the dire situation that climate change presents. She encourages all listeners (who are able) to attend the climate protest in New York City at 1pm this Friday, March 3 in addition to joining the cause of Fridays For Future, a student-led environmental organization which holds weekly peaceful protests as a reminder that the youth are aware of the climate crisis and will not tolerate a lack of action against it. Katie urges fellow young changemakers to explore environmental activism and volunteer opportunities within their own community as well as to keep in mind the power of the younger generations in fighting against environmental injustices and protecting our planet. Do you have your ticket to the Changemakers Forum?

Today we spoke with Joe Bushnell. I had met Joe before he launched Azollo so it is a pretty cool guest to have on since I got to hear where he was at prior to launch. From Australia, he developed a certain attachment to the issue of climate change at a young age when wildfires destroyed his town and burned his school growing up. He went on to study sustainability in Uni. He then went into consulting and finance winding his way back to sustainable finance. Eventually, desiring to pursue a deeper connection directly to the space, he started his own company. In today's conversation, we talk about this journey and how he ended up founding Azollo to help corporates transition and up-skill their workforces. This is vital for corporates to achieve the sustainability targets they have set. It's a really interesting challenge. We also talked about his advice to other aspiring founders thinking of jumping ship. And then ended on the topic of mentoring and how much tech will be able to revolutionize the talent space. We also discussed where we think the boundaries of tech are. Overall, a great episode so let's get into it! Topics: 4:00 Intro8:14 ROI12:56 Why he started the company16:23 Advice to others jumping ship21:54 Winding journey to climate24:34 Industries struggling to find talent28:53  How tech can enable change31:16 Biggest objections33:06 The Jobs are not clear34:39 Foundations of educating workforce - the basics36:02  Diagnostics & workforce engagement37:43  AI & Changing employee workforce41:23 Mentorship & the workforce47:06  Raising Money51:16 Two Trends54:44 His "Obvious Predictions" Links: Connect with Joe: Azollo Website: Check out our Sponsor, NextWave Partners: Join the Slack Channel:  Follow CleanTechies on LinkedIn: HMU on Twitter: @silasmahner__________We are proud to continue working with NextWave as our official show sponsor for this podcast.

If environmentally responsible, sustainable business were baseball, my guest Gil Friend would be as familiar a name as Babe Ruth. In 2011, Gil was named to first class of the International Society of Sustainability Professionals Sustainability Hall of Fame. He is the founder and CEO of Natural Logic, a sustainable business strategy consultancy, and Critical Path Capital, a private equity firm, as well as a recent addition to Earth911's board of advisors. Since the 1970s, when he discovered the work of Buckminster Fuller, he has worked to increase awareness about the environmental damage created by our extractive way of life, and encourage government and business to take action. Gil plumbed the unexpected as a pioneer of ideas we now take for granted, from the rooftop farm to agricultural policies he developed for California Governor Jerry Brown during the 1980s. During the 2010s, he was the first Chief Sustainability Officer for the city of Palo Alto, California. His monthly Living Between Worlds conversation, a Zoom forum that connects concerned people to discuss the transition from the wasteful economy that created the Climate Crisis to a new, emerging but still undefined society.

Today's topic is how to raise money for your ClimateTech Startup with Tommy Leep. He is the founder of Jetstream. A ClimateTech VC focused on investing in pre-seed ClimateTech companies. Today's conversation focuses on three things. First, some of his background, how he got interested in ClimateTech, how he got into VC, and some of the challenges in his career. Second, we spoke about his advice to climate tech founders who are fundraising. He has a lot of incredible tips in this section. If you want to skip to that, it's around the 12 min mark. Third, he walked us through his thought process for investing. So, if you're trying to get a check from Tommy, definitely check that part out too. It starts at around the 30 min mark. Really fun conversation, wish we had more time, will have to bring him back on again in the future. Topics: 3:40 Intro8:27 Keeping head down versus plotting next move9:59 A very challenging time in his career11:32 How he became interested in ClimateTech13:13 5 Tips for fundraising14:58 Stay lean18:46 Find a strong lead investor21:25 His sequence for raising/pitching24:42 Optimize for the investment partner, not the price27:36 Bring deal to many great investors29:20 Build relationships for the next round, this round31:27 How he decides on investing32:23 Market: Predicting the Market39:34 Product: PMF40:18 Founders: It's a 10-year relationship41:10 Fit: Does he feel right about it42:36 Advice to potential foundersLinks: Follow Tommy on Twitter:Checkout his website, Jetstream.ioCheck out our Sponsor, NextWave Partners: Join the Slack Channel: Follow CleanTechies on LinkedIn:HMU on Twitter: @silasmahner__________We are proud to continue working with NextWave as our official show sponsor for this podcast.

Michael Shin is a professor in the UCLA Department of Geography, faculty affiliate in the Department of Statistics, and faculty research affiliate at both the California Center for Population Research (CCPR), and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. Michael is also faculty director of the UCLA Geospatial initiative, the mission of which is to meet the growing demand for geospatial analysis across campus and beyond. As an expert in geospatial methods and techniques, this project draws from his love for the outdoors, fly fishing for trout, and concern about the climate crisis and its broader impacts. Michael received a B.A. (1992) in International Affairs (minor in Italian), and a M.A. (1995), and Ph.D. (1998), in Geography, from the University of Colorado at Boulder. It is no surprise that the golden trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita) is the official state fish of California. Despite its beauty, the future of the California golden trout is in question. Livestock grazing degrades the fragile native habitat of the state fish, while alien and invasive species like rainbow and brown trout hybridize with, and prey upon, the golden trout. Whether or not, and for how long, the golden trout can withstand the effects of other environmental stressors – climate change and climate crisis – remains to be seen, and is the focus of this project.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the climate crisis is having a major impact on migration flows, with millions forced to move from their homes as a result of a disaster, or because they have been affected by slower-moving environmental changes that leave their homes uninhabitable, such as desertification or sea-level rises.On today's show, Conor Lennon speaks to Felipe González Morales, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, on the need for consistent policies to address the impact of the climate emergency on migration.Do you have suggestions, comments or story ideas for The Lid Is On?

Today we have a dual guest episode with Husband & Wife duo, Steve & Beth McDaniel. They have a background in the paint and coatings industry where they have been finding ways to make paints and coatings do something other than just decorate and protect their surface. Their latest innovation is a way to create surfaces that act as carbon capture the same way Blue Algae does. The surfaces can be mass deployed to capture gigatons of carbon to remove carbon from the air permanently at scale. Their company is called Reactive solutions, they are the recent winners of a CarbonX Prize to help Bulgaria test out their solution. The conversation has two parts. First, we talk about the science - the tech it self - how they came across it and the R&D process Second, we go into the more commercial side of things. We talk about their business model, their tips for winning  pilot projects, some of their advice on focusing on the MVP, and the importance of leveraging existing network to get the intros you need. If you're an entrepreneur in the hardware or IP side of thing, this second half is going to be pretty valuable so you can go there if you're strapped for time. Overall, really fascinating conversation. We hope you enjoy! Topics: 4:46 Intro to them, their backgrounds, and how they got into CarbonTech17:29 The R&D Process19:22 - The ideal use case for their tech27:43 Their cost per ton of capture and how many don't count the sequestration costs33:24 How carbon capture projects make money37:00 The IP & Licensing Model44:39 Why pilots are required to secure further investment51:20 Tips to winning pilot projects57:00 Gov. grants, should you get them, & how toLinks: Beth on LinkedIn: Steve on LinkedIn: Reactive Surfaces Website: Check out our Sponsor, NextWave Partners: Join the Slack Channel:  Follow CleanTechies on LinkedIn: HMU on Twitter: @silasmahner__________We are proud to continue working with NextWave as our official show sponsor for this podcast.

Why would anyone believe anything that a big corporation tells us? Corporate powers use lies as a core element of their business strategy. I'm not even counting the tsunami of polished, poll-tested lies they call “advertising.” Rather, I mean their secret perversions of facts to hide the deadly harms they and their products cause, all pushed by top executives and elite investors in cynical efforts to keep profiteering at the expense of customers and society at large. Pharmaceutical price-gougers, Wall Street bankers, tobacco giants, gun makers, and pesticide peddlers are notorious examples – but none can top the perfidy and raw greed of Big Oil. For example, a new report reveals that Exxon Mobil's executives not only were aware that their petro-products might soon lead to catastrophic climate change, but their own scientific analysts had proven it beyond a doubt – and told them so in 1977! Indeed, Exxon's internal findings turn out to have been much more accurate and damning than the warnings issued by government scientists and officials. So, did Exxon's executive hierarchy meet the scientific and ethical challenge presented to them? No. The simply lied to everyone – Congress, the media, the people. In 1999, CEO Lee Raymond tried to BS his way past the truth, snorting that global warming projections “are based on completely unproven climate models, or more often, on sheer speculation.” Exxon's contemptable dishonesty continues to pour out of corporate headquarters today. Asked recently if Exxon has misled the public about looming climate danger from its fossil fuel profiteering, current CEO Darren Woods proclaimed that the corporation's previous lies were “entirely consistent” with the scientific consensus of the time. Obviously, that's another flagrant lie, which is entirely consistent with the corporation's profiteering model. And don't forget, CEOs are lavishly-paid liars – Woods pockets $23 million a year to prevaricate-for-profit.
