Podcasts about climate listening project

“What surprised me was actually how profound, how deep I managed to have this relationship with carbon. Like, because in the end, I found, through the writing and embodying carbon for so long, I found the connections, the  entanglement of carbon across so many aspects of all our lives so illuminating, so surprising. Sometimes I just felt so moved by the wonder of it all, and I still do. Just thinking about it now makes me think, God, it's so wondrous.” Daniella Ortega on Electric Ladies Podcast If you were making a film about carbon, what would it be like? On Electric Ladies Podcast today you'll hear from a woman who actually did that. She's science filmmaker Daniella Ortega, who is co-director of a new, extraordinary documentary called “Carbon: An Unauthorized Biography.” They use a number of super-creative theatrical devices to tell the story, including personifying carbon and using 3D animation. Listen to Daniella Ortega explain on Electric Ladies Podcast in this inspiring conversation with host Joan Michelson, how she came up with the idea and how she and her production team chose how to tell the story of the one element in the universe that is in everything, including us – yet that we are also trying to reduce.   You'll hear: Why they made carbon and woman and how they secured one of the top actresses of the moment to voice “her.” How Daniella came up with the idea and how that was filtered throughout the film. How to communicate climate messages in stories without being preachy or awkward. How she developed an emotional connection to carbon in the process of learning more about it making the film Plus, insightful career advice …. “What I've come to learn about what it is to be a creative person with ambition and wanting to make an impact … I think finding the gaps of where you sit. You have some skills, that's great, but where are the gaps? What do you feel can empower you or make you feel or give you those skills that you need to fill those gaps? And then look to other people or ways in which ways to fill them… (Also) don't be isolated. Connect, connect, connect with those around you, and…don't give your power away, keep your power and try to build on it.” Daniella Ortega on Electric Ladies podcast Read my articles in Forbes about how we talk about the weather, and about developing a new narrative for the climate effort.

“When we're searching for projects to invest in and support, we're really trying to make sure that it's a story that has kind of a balanced narrative. It's not about just talking about what we can do and how we're, how we're winning. It's really making sure that we understand what's at stake and what the impacts are and who the impacts are hitting, and also seeing people in action addressing and dealing with the situation at hand. And I think that's where it's very hard, increasingly hard.” Jill Tidman on Electric Ladies Podcast How do we talk about the climate? The public is experiencing the effects of a warming – boiling – planet more each day with massive wildfires, massive floods and extreme heat, as well as destructive hurricanes and the like. But how do we tell the story of how those events reflect the actions we need to take to avert worse? This is the challenge of today for those of us seeking to save humanity's ability to live on a warming planet. As I wrote in Forbes recently, how we talk about the weather matters. Listen to Jill Tidman, Executive Director of The Redford Center (founded by actor, producer, Robert Redford and his late son James Redford) on Electric Ladies Podcast in this inspiring conversation with host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear: Why stories are vital to massive social, political and economic change. How The Redford Center chooses its projects to motivate action. How to communicate climate messages in stories without being preachy or awkward. How culture can reach people who are disinclined toward the climate change message. Plus, insightful career advice …. “Any time you can find work that aligns with your, your personal values and goals, you're going to excel, you're going to feel better, you're going to be happier, you're going to have more value, you're going to succeed in the ways that I think are probably most meaningful for women. And, and then, I also think, don't be shy. I think that we have a tendency to not ask for what we need or put in an idea forward, um, or, go out on a limb. We don't need to play small. We're in the room, and if you're in the room, be in the room.” Jill Tidman on Electric Ladies podcast Read my articles in Forbes about how we talk about the weather, and about developing a new narrative for the climate effort.

“For anything to happen on a grand scale, we need to have culture supported… Artists are good at planting these seeds, putting the stories out there and for anybody. The key is repetition. So, if you encounter a certain story, certain type of story in the music you listen to, in the articles that you read, in the billboard that you see or the murals that you see when you walk down the street at some point, it creates a frame that you can start to live in and the changes become something that is natural.” Chantal Bilodeai on Electric Ladies Podcast How do we reach the “unconverted” – those who do not yet take the threat of climate change seriously? Maybe culture has some answers, because stories, music, art…culture…touches us in ways nothing else does. This is a critical and timely conversation many of us communications leaders had at the Sun Valley Forum recently too. How do we leverage them to help us talk about the weather differently, as I wrote in Forbes recently? Listen to Sandra Bargman and Chantal Bilodeau, who created, produced and performed the “Earth Intention: A Climate Cabaret,” on Electric Ladies Podcast in this reply of this powerful and inspiring conversation with host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear: Why culture is vital to massive social, political and economic change. How music and the arts move people through “hope.” How to communicate climate messages in stories without being preachy or awkward About using the arts to reach people who may not naturally “get” the climate message, or who may be overwhelmed. Plus, insightful career advice …. “It's never too late to pivot. I think people who are mid-career, women particularly, we always feel like, ‘oh, my time was then,' (but) it is never too late to pivot…And the other thing that reflects my career is, don't feel as though you have to pick one lane. You can pick more than one lane and both of those lanes or more can be successful.” Sandra Bargman on Electric Ladies podcast Read my articles in Forbes about how we talk about the weather, and about developing a new narrative for the climate effort.

We continue The Speaking of Travel + Gulf Coast Love Story series with Dayna Reggero of the Climate Listening Project to keep you informed on what's happening in one of the most beautiful and vulnerable areas, The Gulf Coast. The Gulf is unlike anywhere else in the world. The people and environment combine to form a place with a rich culture tied to the ocean. The Gulf Coast Mural Project is a collaborative of Gulf Coast artists, activists, communities, and allies remembering and visioning.Special guests to discuss the Lake Charles mural located at 1704 Broad Street in Lake Charles, LA, is Derrick Thornton and Shannon Denise DeJean, both selected as the Gulf Coast Murals project muralists for Lake Charles coordinator Tasha Guidry. The site of the mural was purposely selected for many reasons, one of which is it's located in the heart of the city on a major artery and secondly it's located on a street where many black owned businesses were located prior to Hurricanes Laura and Delta. Those businesses have not and are not rebuilding. The mural instills hope by paying homage to businesses or institutions that are no longer in Lake Charles either because of the storms or because of socioeconomic conditions that have plagued the black community causing them to close. The mural has united a community because of the images and what it represents and has accomplished something that is helping shape the natural heritage, culture, and economy of this region. A must listen!Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel!

The Climate Listening project is in the Gulf Coast region listening to artists and activists working together for Dayna's new film, The Gulf Coast Love Story. The Gulf is beautiful and rich with beaches and bayous. But there's also cancer alley and dangerous oil rigs. Now there are 20+ LNG export terminals proposed along the Gulf Coast. These are huge liquid natural gas export facilities where all the pipelines bring the gas to the coast to ship it overseas with fossil fuel companies profiting billions. It's dangerous. Our special guest is Joshua Duttweiler of Corpus Christi, Texas. Joshua was selected for the collaborative Coastal Alliance to Protect our Environment (CAPE) artist activist grant to create community art for Corpus Christi / Coastal Bend activism in collaboration with groups like Texas Campaign for the Environment. Joshua is a designer, artist, and educator.

Weren't we shocked green divas to learn that there's nothing natural about natural gas! It makes perfect sense -- duh. It's all a big marketing hoax and most of us fell for it for far too long. The true cost of natural gas is an environmental disaster. Especially fracking it and liquifying it in order to export it -- for the benefit of fossil fuel companies and executives.  We learned this and a great deal more from Kelly Sheehan, who is the Senior Director of Energy Campaigns for the Sierra Club. She's helping communities along the Gulf Coast fight against 20+ proposed LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) pipelines and distribution hubs that would devastate this beautiful coast.

You'll never look at your friends' photos of riding an elephant the same way again after watching Ashley Bell’s documentary, "Love and Bananas." It’s the story of rescuing Asian elephants from the cruelty they endure to be housed in zoos and “entertainment” in circuses, as well as rides. Ashley calls the film “an action adventure story,” yet it’s so much more.  It’s also a love story between the elephants being rescued and Lek Chaillert, the renowned conservationist/rescuer who was Bell’s guide on the adventure.. Listen to Ashley tell the story of how she came to this powerful story in this fascinating interview with Joan Michelson on the Green Connections Radio podcast.  Ashley also talks about how it transformed her into an activist for this cause and shares insightful career advice. Read my Forbes blogs about her documentary and what you can do, and on her career advice here too.. “Trust your gut. Tell your story. And you will get everyone in the world saying ‘no’ to you, and all those people will be the first people to call you” when you’re successful, Ashley told Joan. “It’s going to be terrifying. There are going to be moments when you don’t know what you’re doing. And there are going to be moments where it’s scary to do things a little bit different.” “But, I so encourage people to blend their advocacy with their passion, because then something truly incredible happens.” You'll want to listen to these podcasts too: ·       Kathleen Rogers, President of Earth Day Network, which honored Ashley Bell with the Women and the Green Economy Leadership Award for her advocacy. ·       Emeliie O’Brien, Founder and CEO of Earth Angel, a company that works with film and television productions to reduce their carbon footprint. ·       Dayna Reggero, Eco-filmmaker who created the Climate Listening Project. ·       Flo Stone, Founder of the DC Environmental Film Festival.
