His very clear finding is that thinking is valued less than doing in almost every situation in our modern world. However, Simon has conversely observed that the power and success of any business, project or organization will be in direct proportion to the level and quality of thinking of the people and the quality of the idea or ideas on which it is built.

Waylon speaks with Emma Hakansson of Collective Fashion Justice, author of Total Ethics Fashion, who reminds us of the full meaning of Ecofashion, one of Elephant's 12 areas of focus since we were a print magazine 22 years back..!  “Total Ethics Fashion is a replacement for a lot of these other ideas about more responsible fashion that we've heard.

My guest today has a wealth of knowledge of all things fabric. Carroll Dunham has traveled the world with National Geographic, and selected a very unique collection of threads that support indigenous tribes . But more than that, she has made it part of her mission to bring awareness to the importance of micro ecosystems, and how it takes generations of craftsmanship along with a very local environment to create legacy fabrics.  It is the difference between a micro economy and a global economy, and it's quite fascinating.She cofounded Around The World in 80 Fabrics as a way to preserve and tell the story of sustainable fabrics, and create fertile ground for the cross pollination of ancient sustainable practices in the making of fabric.  www.atw80fabrics.com

On this episode of E.S.Now, I am with Scott Fletcher, sustainability activist and creator of Econus App.  Scott Fletcher, Founder & CEO of Econus, is a social impact entrepreneur on a mission to make consumption more sustainable!There's a theory in economics called the Theory of Externalities. This theory states that if companies pay for all the costs involved with their production of their products, the issues we're seeing today would be nearly non-existent. When they don't pay for these costs, we see the results, like air pollution and waste, these are the externalities. From this theory The Active Consumer philosophy was born. The Active Consumer recognized that us normal folk may not be able to force producers to include all costs, but we could support organizations that can, and with enough of us, real change could be made. From that concept our mobile app, Econus, was born. Econus links your purchases to the unintended consequences of the purchase (like air pollution from a tank of gas), and donates your spare change to an organization reducing the consequences to our environment and society (like the Climate & Clean Air Coalition).www.econusapp.com

Dass die Temperaturen auf der Erde steigen, das wissen wir alle. Aber wie sich diese Veränderungen auf die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt auswirken, ist zum Teil weniger bekannt. Fakt ist: Tiere und Pflanzen sind an bestimmte Gegebenheiten angepasst. Verändert sich nun die Lage an einem bestimmten Ort (also steigt z.B. die Temperatur), dann suchen sich die Tiere und Pflanzen den nächsten verfügbaren Ort, an dem die bekannten Bedingungen herrschen. Das heißt, dass sie sich z.B. weiter einen Berg hinaufbegeben, in kühlere Höhen, um dort dann wieder die Temperaturen vorzufinden, an die sie gewöhnt sind. Oder aber, dass sie ihre Habitate in Richtung der kühleren Polregionen verlagern.So setzt sich die Natur infolge der globalen Erwärmung in einem atemberaubenden Ausmaß in Bewegung. Das bedeutet: Fischbestände, die ihre Habitate verschieben und damit Handelskriege auslösen. Tropenarten, die sich in höhere Lagen flüchten. Braunbären, die auf Eisbären treffen. Wälder, die sich davonmachen usw. Doch wie genau verschiebt sich das Leben auf unserer Erde? Wie sollten/können wir auf diese außerordentlichen Verlagerungen reagieren? Was können wir tun, um möglichst viele Arten zu bewahren? Und was bedeutet all das eigentlich für uns und unser Leben, wie wir es bisher kannten?Über all diese Fragen sprechen wir – Gast-Co-Moderatorin Lydia Möcklinghoff und Erik – in dieser Folge mit dem Umweltjournalisten und Autor Benjamin von Brackel, der das Buch verfasste: “Die Natur auf der Flucht – Warum sich unser Wald davonmacht und der Braunbär auf den Eisbär trifft – Wie der Klimawandel Pflanzen und Tiere vor sich hertreibt”. https://www.benjaminvonbrackel.de/ WERBUNGDiese Folge wird unterstützt von Avocadostore.Avocadostore ist dein Online Marktplatz für Eco Fashion & Green Lifestyle.

Bei Wind und Wetter Schritt für Schritt 1.400 Kilometer entlang der deutsch-deutschen Grenze: Dass sich Joey Kelly neben der Musik immer wieder neue und spannende Herausforderungen sucht, wissen wir spätestens seit Weltwach Folge 120 und 182, in denen er bereits zu Gast war. Dieses Mal erzählt er von einem neuen Projekt: seiner Wanderung entlang dem „Grünen Band“.Der Kolonnenweg, das Symbol der deutschen Teilung, schlängelt sich wie ein nicht enden wollendes grünes Band mitten durch die Republik. Er ist Deutschlands größtes Biotop, ein unberührtes Monument mit über 150 Naturschutzgebieten. Joey ist es komplett abgelaufen, in vier Jahreszeiten und mit einem Marathon täglich.Auf seinem Weg traf er ehemalige Grenzsoldaten, Künstler und Politiker, Freunde und Zeitzeugen. Auch Geflüchtete, die das schier Unmögliche geschafft haben. Von alledem berichtet er in dieser Episode.

Radikale Freiheit … kann überglücklich, aber auch zutiefst einsam machen. Dies ist eine der Einsichten, die Katharina Finke gewonnen hat, nachdem sie vor einigen Jahren alles losließ, was sie gebunden hat: ihre Wohnung, beinahe ihren gesamten Besitz – mehr oder weniger ihr bisheriges Leben. Sie machte das Reisen zu ihrem Alltag, arbeitete als moderne Nomadin rund um den Globus, lebte aus dem Koffer und wohnte auf Ausklappsesseln und in Luxusappartements. Über diese und weitere Erfahrungen und Einsichten hat sie zwei erfolgreiche Bücher geschrieben: “Loslassen – Wie ich die Welt entdeckte und verzichten lernte” und, einige Jahre später, “Losleben”. In dieser Folge erzählt sie, was es wirklich heißt loszulassen – und woran es sich lohnt festzuhalten.

Unser heutiger Gast ist in Stockholm und Wien zu Schule gegangen. Er hat sein Studium in Stockholm und einigen anderen europäischen Städten zunächst mit einem Bachelor of Science in Business and Economics und dann mit einem Master of Science in International Management abgeschlossen. Seinen Einstieg ins Berufsleben hatte er im Finanzbereich, unter anderem war er bei dem FINTEC Scale-Up KLARNA, einer der erfolgreichsten Gründungen des 21. Jahrhunderts in Europa. Zusammen mit seinem Co-Founder Jakob Dworsky hat er vor 7 Jahren das Modelabel ASKET gegründet. Die beiden setzten auf das Thema “„meaningful essentials“. Und ihr Ziel ist es, so haben sie es in einem Business Punk Interview formuliert; die Ära des schnellen Konsums zu beenden. Das Problem von Fast Fashion fasste unser Gast in dem Gespräch mit Business Punk wie folgt zusammen: „Fast Fashion ist ein Business Modell, bei dem wir uns in zehn bis 15 Jahren fragen werden: Wie konnte das erlaubt sein? Wir produzieren mehr als je zuvor, konsumieren mehr als je zuvor, nutzen die Kleidung kürzer als je zuvor. Und trotzdem sind die Gewinne kleiner als je zuvor, und die Menschen in den Fabriken leiden. Niemand gewinnt in diesem Modell.“ Seit fast 5 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns nun schon mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt - statt ihn zu schwächen. Wie kann ein Thema, das einen so wesentlichen Anteil in unserem Alltag einnimmt, wieder mehr Sinn in unserem Leben stiften? Was brauchen wir, damit wir aus der Corona Krise gestärkt hervorgehen und die wenigen positiven Effekte wie der verbesserter Umgang mit Remote-Tools nicht wieder verpuffen. Welche Rolle können Unternehmen dabei spielen, dass wir die großen Herausforderungen unser Zeit meistern? Und welchen Beitrag geben sie ganz konkret zu einem besseren Umgang mit unseren Ressourcen. Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Dabei beschäftigt uns immer wieder auch die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work - heute mit August Bard Bringéus Episode 304 mit August Bard Bringéus gibt es auf allen gängigen Podcast Plattformen, wie Spotify oder Apple Podcasts (oder direkt auf otwtnw.de).
