Podcasts about ecofriendly

In this episode, I sit down with designer and shop owner Molly Carter, whose passion for sustainability and storytelling in design is contagious. We talk about what it means to buy with your values, how she sources everything from hundred-year-old rugs to locally made candles, and why slowing down matters when you're building a home. Molly shares the stories behind her favorite projects, including a wine country retreat and a mid-century gem in Placerville, and reminds us that every choice—from a pillow to a piece of art—can carry history, culture, and care.  Want to finally define your style?

On today's episode of the podcast, we sit down with Brian Johnson, founder of Senergy360, and Nate Gossage, founder of Living Stone Builders, to explore how design, construction, and wellness intersect in the creation of healthy homes. Website:  senergy360.com  buildlivingstone.com  Instagram: livingstonebuilders senergy360 BACK STORY Brian Johnson, founder of Senergy360, is a leader at the intersection of high performance, environmental wellness, and innovative home construction. With over 22 years in the building industry and a personal background as an elite athlete, Brian brings a unique blend of physical performance insight and environmental expertise to every project he touches. His journey into wellness began with firsthand experiences of adverse health effects caused by "sick" homes and the traditional building industry. This sparked a lifelong commitment to optimizing human performance and well-being through better living environments. Driven by a desire to reclaim and enhance his own health, Brian immersed himself in the world of biohacking, self-optimization, and functional medicine. He discovered how powerful environmental factors—such as air quality, materials, lighting, and energy efficiency—can be in supporting recovery, performance, and long-term health. As a triple-certified Building Biologist, Brian specializes in environmental impacts and building science. He seamlessly integrates non-toxic building practices, sustainable materials, and cutting-edge wellness technologies into the construction process. His goal: to create safe, healing living spaces that support both mental clarity and physical vitality.

It's back to school! Do You Really Know is dedicating a special week to sport. Because moving and doing regular physical activity is important for our physical and mental health! Listen again to our episodes about sport! One of the biggest challenges that we have been facing and will be continuing to face in the coming years is protecting our planet. So it's worth reflecting on how we can exercise in a more eco-friendly manner. We turn to exercise for leisure, entertainment and to stay fit and healthy, but not many people realize that the carbon footprint can be significant. Of course that's particularly true for high-profile international sporting events, like the FIFA World Cup, which is taking place in Qatar this winter. But even for the vast majority of us who aren't involved in professional competition, there are still things you can do to reduce the environmental impact of your exercise.  Well I've been a gym member for years now; that can't have much impact, can it?!

This summer, relax and learn with Do You Really Know! It's time to learn all about the concepts, words and expressions that surround the summer season! What is an eco-friendly beach? For many people, beaches are synonymous with the summer holiday season. Beach holidays have been popular since the second half of the 19th century, and are the archetypal form of mass tourism. With millions of people indulging in such getaways each year, it goes without saying that there's a significant environmental impact. We regularly get riled when seeing pictures of beaches covered in plastic bottles, or turtles choking on straws. Around 10 million tonnes of waste end up in the ocean each year, with tourism hotspots creating 26% more than other cities. Are you saying my new eco-friendly lifestyle isn't compatible with a beach holiday? Wait a minute, should we stop using sunscreen then? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : ⁠Why do we get verrucas?⁠ ⁠What is climate shadow, the newest way to measure your impact on global warming?⁠ ⁠Why do our bodies need magnesium?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

SHOW NOTES: This hour, we're focusing on eco-friendly home improvements and design tips to help your money pit and Mother Nature, especially as we've just experienced a significant heatwave across the US. We're exploring how to save some green while going green this summer, with easy, affordable projects that can shrink your energy bills, cut back on waste, and help the planet. Here's a look at the topics and calls we'll cover: - Attic Upgrades: Your attic can either work for you or against you in the summer. We're sharing smart attic upgrades to keep your home cooler, cut energy costs, and protect your home from summer's worst side effects. - Strategic Landscaping for Cooling: You can cool your home without touching the thermostat by letting nature do the work. We discuss how strategic landscaping, such as planting shade trees, can naturally reduce heat and energy bills while giving your yard a green upgrade. - Eco-Friendly Design and DIY Projects: We're all about eco-friendly home upgrades that benefit both the planet and your wallet.   Q & A: - Mike from Alaska called in with a question about an upstairs window that leaks when it rains, noting drips from the soffits. We discussed potential causes, including backed-up gutters, failed sealant, or improper flashing. - Susan from California asked about options for her 38-year-old asphalt driveway that needs to be redone, but she doesn't want to resurface with blacktop. - Mark has a beautiful log cabin home that hasn't been stained in 8 years and is fading. We advise him on the process of cleaning the raw lumber, letting it dry, and then choosing a stain that includes UV protection. - Ed is dealing with a serious issue with his 1880s Victorian home's brick foundation, where the bottom layer of bricks is starting to bow out. For such a critical structural concern, we strongly recommend consulting a structural engineer to diagnose the problem. - Darlene from Texas has a flagstone patio with uneven stones and nothing between the cracks. - Carl from Massachusetts emailed us about a foul odor coming from his newly installed dishwasher. This is often due to bio-gas buildup, and we have tips on how to clean those trouble spots.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help!

A cheap, eco-friendly flooring system is helping to improve health and bring down construction costs in Uganda. The clay-based earthen floors use local earth instead of cement, helping to reduce carbon emissions, and when replacing traditional mud floors, help reduce dust as well as disease-causing pests. The Ugandan company racing to install it is EarthEnable, which specializes in this sustainable, affordable system. The flooring is a better option than more rudimentary materials used by those living in poverty, which tend to attract a lot of dust and pests that can damage health. “In the villages, people use cow dung to maybe take away the dust, but within the shortest time, like in two days, you see that the dust has come. And basically, this floor will help that person come out of the dust,” explains Alex Wanda, a construction officer at EarthEnable. The raw components are easily available, even here in Jinja, which is 130 kilometers from the capital Kampala. All they need to do is dig the murram, which makes up the majority of the flooring and is right there. It's mixed with sand and water and then compacted. Then it's left to dry out for two weeks before more material is applied, and it's topped off with a sealant made from clay and varnish. It is cheaper and responsible for far fewer carbon emissions than cement flooring. “For the cement floor, it is expensive. Why? The client will have to buy cement, will have to buy the gravel, will also have to buy sand and in big quantities, and all that is money, vis-a-vis earthen floor. For us, we need only murram, and you find out that the client doesn't feel like maybe you are oppressing him. It's very easy. He directs you where the murram is, you dig it and bring it to the site, and you start construction,” says Wanda. EarthEnable says their flooring system is also more hygienic—it's easier to keep homes clean and pests out. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Texas is turning to helicopters to manage invasive aoudad sheep, what's behind a surge in moose attacks in Colorado, and one youth figured out how to turn biodegradable fishing lures into a business plus how Gen Z are taking Adulting classes. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!   Season 5, Episode 242 Aerial Hunting, Moose Dangers, Life Lessons, and a Teen's Green Fishing Breakthrough  Texas Takes to the Skies to Manage Invasive Aoudad Texas is stepping up its wildlife management game — from the sky. Starting September 1, hunters will be allowed to shoot aoudad, also known as Barbary sheep, from helicopters, thanks to Senate Bill 1245, signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott. Originally from North Africa, aoudad were brought to Texas in the 1950s and have since exploded in number — with over 30,000 now roaming the state. They're hardy, fast-breeding, and tough on the environment, competing with native species like mule deer and bighorn sheep, damaging fragile desert ecosystems, and even spreading disease to commercial herds. The bill adds aoudad to the state's aerial wildlife management program, which already includes feral hogs and coyotes. Officials hope helicopter hunting — a method that helped reduce hog numbers by over 30% — can also bring the aoudad population under control. While they're a problem for landowners and wildlife managers, aoudad remain a popular big game target for hunters. Texas has no closed season or bag limit for them — just bring a valid hunting license and be ready for a challenge, whether on foot or from above. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/texas-hunting-aoudad-from-helicopters/ Colorado Officials Warn: Give Moose Space During Calving Season Moose attacks are on the rise across Colorado, and wildlife officials say the reason is simple — it's calving season. From late May to mid-June, cow moose become highly protective of their young and more likely to charge if they feel threatened, especially by dogs. In just over a week, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) responded to four separate attacks involving mother moose and nearby people or pets. In one case, a cow moose trampled two dogs and forced a man to dive under a car. In another, two women were charged and stomped while walking off-leash dogs — they only escaped by climbing onto a roof, and a neighbor used a fire extinguisher to drive the moose off. Even leashed dogs don't guarantee safety. In Grand County, Colorado, a woman was seriously hurt when a cow moose charged her and her dog; her boyfriend shot the moose in self-defense. Wildlife officers later had to euthanize the orphaned calf, fearing it would become too dependent on humans. In the most recent incident, a woman in Steamboat Springs was attacked while walking her dogs. A bystander tried to help — and got kicked for his trouble. The injured woman was airlifted to the hospital, and the cow and its two calves were later relocated. CPW says moose see dogs as predators and react aggressively to protect their calves. They're urging outdoor enthusiasts to keep pets leashed, avoid thick brush where calves may be hiding, and give moose a wide berth if spotted. While moose attacks remain rare, growing moose and human populations mean encounters are becoming more likely. So if you're hiking in moose country this time of year, stay alert, leash your dog, and let these massive mammals raise their young in peace. Reference: https://cpw.state.co.us/news/06022025/colorado-parks-and-wildlife-warns-potentially-aggressive-cow-moose-following-three GEN Z Needs Adulting “101” According to a recent New York Post article, Gen Z — born between 1997 and 2012 — can code TikToks in their sleep, but ask them to change a tire or fold a fitted sheet? Forget it. High schoolers and college students across the U.S. are now signing up for “Adulting 101” — crash courses in how to do laundry, budget for rent, or cook something besides ramen.New York teen Zack Leitner put it this way: “Until the 1960s, students learned how to cook, clean, and sew. In 2025, we're lucky if they know how to do their laundry.” Psychologist Jean Twenge points to overprotective parenting and a trend of young adults living longer at home. She says today's 20-somethings are arriving at adulthood with empty toolboxes — not because they're lazy, but because no one taught them the basics.So while schools are starting to step in, experts say these basic life skills should be taught way earlier. Because whether it's interest rates or ironing a shirt — ignorance isn't bliss. It's expensive…. Lastly, if you have a chance - research Financial Literacy, it is a topic more should be talking about in our opinion!

Ethan Albright, a senior at Hempfield High School and lifelong fisherman, created the lures using natural ingredients like seaweed-based sodium alginate, gelatin, and cornstarch. His goal? Cut down on plastic waste in rivers. Albright's eco-conscious invention earned him third place at the International Science and Engineering Fair this May, after first winning a local competition in March. And yes — the lures work. “The trout were hammering them,” Albright said after a successful trip during trout season. Traditional soft-plastic lures often break off or get swallowed by fish, clogging waterways and fish stomachs. Albright's version, on the other hand, is fully edible and decomposes in just over two weeks. He's now producing 10-packs of the five-inch worm lures — the classic “senko” style — in biodegradable packaging, with plans to sell them in local bait shops. His creations could mark a step forward for anglers and the environment alike. Albright says he's starting small but thinking big: “One day, maybe we can get them manufactured somewhere other than my kitchen.” (Interested buyers can email him here.)
