(Weihnachtswoche, Tag 4) "Wusstet ihr eigentlich …?" ist unser Name für "Zusatzfolgen" zu großen Podcasts. In ihnen kommen alle Infos, Anekdoten, O-Töne und andere Dinge unter, die in der Hauptfolge keinen Platz hatten, vergessen wurden oder uns zu spät eingefallen sind. Das Format ist eines unserer beliebesten und häufigsten Unterstützerformate: Allein in diesem Jahr gab es (mit dieser) 16 Ausgaben davon. 6 davon bezogen sich auf SF-Folgen, 7 auf SSF und 3 auf SFT. Diesmal geht es um Deus Ex, das ist keine Wiederveröffentlichung aus dem Steady- oder Patreon-Feed, sondern eine brandneue Folge! Darin besprechen wir… … das Geheimnis des fehlenden Empire State Buildings … warum die Leitern im Spiel so schlecht funktionieren … den Besuch der Matrix und der Ion-Storm-Büros via Deus Ex … kuriose Bugs und zwei NPCs auf der Suche nach Sitzgelegenheiten Und als Bonus erklärt uns Verschwörungsexperte Christian Beuster die Wahrheit hinter zwei Verschwörungsmythen des Spiels.

When seismic sensors around the planet picked up the unusual signal emanating from Greenland, a group of geologists set out to solve the mystery of what was causing it. 当全球各地的地震感应器接收到格陵兰岛发出的 “地震” 信号后，一群地质学家开始着手解开有关该情况形成原因的谜团。 They eventually worked out that this vibration, that lasted an unprecedented nine days, came from a massive landslide that triggered a tsunami in a remote fjord in the east of the country. Before and after images revealed that a whole mountain top had collapsed there, sending a volume of rock equivalent to 25 Empire State Buildings slamming into the water. The depth and narrow shape of this 124-mile-long fjord in effect trapped the wave so it sloshed back and forth creating the vibrations. 这群地质学们最终发现这一史无前例地持续了九天的震动，来自于格陵兰岛的一场大规模山体滑坡，这场山体滑坡在该岛东部的一个遥远峡湾处引发了海啸。该峡湾在山体滑坡前后的图片对比显示，那里有一整座山峰倒塌，相当于一个体积为 25 个帝国大厦那么大的岩石猛地坠入水中。这个 124 英里长的峡湾的深度及其狭长的形状有效地限制了岩石坠入水中形成的巨浪，并使巨浪来回冲刷，形成了震动。Scientists say the landslide was caused by rising temperatures in Greenland melting the glacier that was supporting this mountain. As temperatures in the Arctic rise, the risk of these landslides is increasing – a destructive side effect of climate change. 有关科学家表示，此次山体滑坡是由于格陵兰岛气温升高而使支撑着这座山峰的冰川融化而导致的。随着北极地区气温上升，发生类似山体滑坡的风险也在升高，这也是气候变化具有破坏性的一个负面影响。 词汇表seismic sensors 地震传感器picked up 接收到emanating 发出，显示出geologists 地质学家set out to 开始，着手做vibration 震动unprecedented 前所未有的triggered 引发，引起remote 遥远的fjord 峡湾volume 体积slamming 猛地撞上sloshed 搅动side effect 副作用，负面影响

The big blue cities like New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago are losing millions, and the trend continued well into 2022. New York City is looking more like a gigantic ghost town, especially with the depopulation of office space. A full twenty-six Empire State Buildings could fit into New York City's empty office space. All of this is good news for those who have watched the blue cities corrupt themselves for too long. The Babel principle kicks in with the trend toward decentralization, exodus from the big cities, weapons of mass destruction, telecommuting, and the reversal of Roe v. Wade to the determination of the states. We end with some helpful guidance for families who wish to be freed from the slavery of debt and the bondage of the big cities. Hey, big city, turn me loose and set me free.

This week's episode is special! We're covering Saudi Arabia's megaprojects, including: THE MUKAAB - a 400-metre high by 400-metre wide structure that's big enough to hold 20 Empire State Buildings, TROJENA - a winter sports venue that's technically in the desert, OXAGON - the world's largest floating structure, future shipping destination hub and the logistics nerve-centre for Neom, RED SEA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - controversially designed by Foster + Partners and set to open later in 2023 and expected to accommodate a million passengers a year by 2030, and of course, THE LINE - a 500-metre tall mirrored linear city that'll stretch for over 170-kilometres across the desert sands.Later in the episode, we look at UNStudio's new district in Nanjing, China called K.Wah G72.We end the show with a spicy Apple Podcasts review from Rob Ellio.Get in touch!

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. If you were gifted $10M right now, why that very well wouldn't help you at all.   Learn a fresh take on how Real Estate Pays 5 Ways at the same time. A housing market update with perennially sagging inventory supply amounts and more outlooks for stronger home price appreciation than many expected. Today, on Get Rich Education.   Welcome to GRE!    From Montevideo, Uruguay to Montecito, CA and across 188 nations worldwide, you're listening to one of the longest-running and most listened-to shows on real estate… the voice of real estate investing since 2014. I'm your host and my name is Keith Weinhold.   How would you like it if I gave you $1M?   You know what? That's not enough to make my point. Make it $10M. I adjusted for inflation - ha! How much would you like it if I gave you $10M? How would that feel?   But what if it comes with this one condition.   What if I told you that I'll give you the $10M, but you are not waking up tomorrow?    Not waking up tomorrow? No way!   Now you know that waking up tomorrow is worth more than $10M.   This is how you know that your time and your life are worth infinitely more than any dollar amount.   Hmmm… if your time is so valuable. Then why did you check Instagram 15 times yesterday to see who viewed your Stories? Ha!   Why are you spending time with your AI girlfriend? Ha!   Get Rich Education is ultimately about living a rich LIFE - whatever that means to you.   And we do approach that from the financial perspective here. Money does matter… because leverage, cash flow, and inflation-profiting enable you to BUY time.   We're really one of the few investing platforms… this show is one of the few places with the audacity to tell you that - sure, a little delayed gratification is good… but the risk of too much delayed gratification is DENIED gratification.   Denied gratification is a terrible investing risk that most people either don't give enough weight to - or don't factor in at all.   And getting a $10M windfall is not as great as it sounds either.    History shows that the $25M Lottery winner quickly loses their money. Why does that happen?  Because it seemed like it was effortless to get the windfall, and because they don't know how to handle an amount like that.  It's really similar to a capital gains-centric investor that gets a windfall.  See, cash flow investors like you & I - we can be more measured because your income stream is metered out over time. That's why you are less likely to be irrational with your gains.     Now, I touched on some of those ways that you're paid in real estate investing.    Real Estate Pays you 5 Ways™ simultaneously. That's a concept that I coined right here on the GRE podcast. We since went on to have it trademarked.   Do you know when I first introduced that concept right here on the show - the month & year?    And I've since gone on to do a lot with “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” to help other audiences understand real estate's five distinct profit sources.   Well, I had someone on Team GRE here do some digging into some of our legacy shows - our past episodes… because I wanted to know when I first said it… and it was apparently in May of 2015, so 8 years ago that I introduced it.   Since then, many other thought leaders have gone on to cite the phrase. Someone other than me even wrote a book on it. And that doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather that other people and readers get good ideas. That's more important than getting the credit.   Of course, c'mon, you can recite these 5 now like they're the Pledge Of Allegiance or something.    This is as automatic as the Lord's Prayer is for Christians. The five are: Appreciation Cash Flow Your return on Amortization and Tax Benefits and finally Inflation-Profiting But now, let's dissect this frog here a little. Why five ways? Why not another number, like real estate pays four ways or six ways?   It is five. There are no more or less. Each of the five are a distinct benefit.   A common flawed case that Real Estate Pays 4 Ways is that most real estate teachers omit the Inflation-Profiting benefit on the long-term fixed interest rate debt.   Any GRE devotee knows that with 5% inflation on $1M in debt, you only owe the bank $950K of inflation-adjusted debt after year one, $900K after year two, etc. (And in the meantime, the tenant pays all of your mortgage interest.)   Some that make the 4 Ways case question the Tax Benefit. Could the tax benefit really be considered a profit source, or is it just a deal sweetener?   It's a profit source.   Outside the real estate world, to obtain a tax write-off, you must have a real expense backed up with receipts, like building a new computer equipment or buying a new farm tractor.   Instead, the magic of real estate tax depreciation says that you can just write off 3.6% of the improved property value each year just for doing... nothing all year. No improvements necessary.   It's a phantom write-off, yet legitimate to the IRS.   Then the 1031 Exchange means you can endlessly defer all of your federal capital gains tax for your... entire life.   Yes, it's one of the few places in life where procrastination actually pays.   I've even heard some say that they're a fan of GRE's Real Estate Pays 5 Ways™, but they've discovered a sixth.   This often involves an event that's either unlikely or falls into one of the existing 5 Ways.   For example, "My appraisal value exceeded the contract price. I'm buying it for $320K, but the appraisal is $340K. I got $20K in instant equity. See, I was paid a 6th way."   No.   I mean, good for you, $20K of instant equity is a nice sweetener - that's a $20K credit in your net worth column that you received the moment you opened up that appraisal e-mail from your lender and saw it. Nice!   But an appraised value that exceeds the purchase price is not COMMON enough to be expected… and the 5 Ways are.   Also, you can make the case that "instant equity" is covered in the first way you're paid, Appreciation.   The reason that we invest in real estate is because there's virtually no other vehicle in the world where you can expect to be paid five ways at the same time.   That's a foundational principle - it's a core concept here at GRE.    It's why we do what we do. It answers the compelling “why” for real estate better than any answer there is…   …and that's why anything less than a 20 to 25% combined return when you add up all five ways is actually disappointing - and that's done with low risk - which is paradoxical almost anywhere else in the entire investing world.    If you haven't yet, take my free “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” course in order to really understand each of your five distinct profit sources, where they come from, and how that all fits together.    It's at GetRichEducation.com/Course. The free “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” short course is free at GetRichEducation.com/Course    Let's talk about real estate trends.   You know, real estate investing has a lot of relationships that you just wouldn't expect.    Part of that is because it intersects with the economy. Economies are complex and you get these relationships that are counterintuitive.    For example, in a recession, mortgage rates and all interest rates tend to fall, not rise.    Another exhibit is how debt BUILDS wealth with prudent leverage.   Another one that I've explained extensively here and the show and elsewhere is that higher mortgage rates correlate with higher home prices - not lower ones. That throws nearly everyone off.   Some physical real estate trends have been counterintuitive.   About 30 years ago in America - the 1990s - a new trend was fueled that everyone wanted to have a big kitchen.   New homes were often built with a big, fancy kitchen in the center of the home. Open floor concept - no galley kitchens anymore. That began back then.   And this was really the advent of - at the time - what we considered luxury amenities like granite and quartz kitchen countertops.    Anymore, that's become standard. Even our build-to-rent providers at GRE Marketplace often have new granite countertops in rentals.    But the paradox here is the assumption that a big emphasis on kitchens would mean that more people would start cooking at home.    Oh, no. Just the opposite, in the last 30 years, despite the big kitchens, more people eat out at restaurants and fewer people eat at home. Another real estate paradox.   Another counterintuition was the pandemic. Society locked down, people lost their jobs and you think that there are going to be mass foreclosures because with no job, no one can afford their mortgage payment.   People thought the pandemic will cripple the housing market. Oh, it was just the opposite. That created a housing boom. Everyone wanted their space. Another paradox.   Remember here on the show, shortly after Biden was elected, I told you that this administration - for better or for worse - will not let people lose their homes.    Then we had high inflation on the heels of the pandemic. That was bad for consumers and good for real estate.   But high inflation is supposed to mean that bitcoin and gold would surge. Well, another paradox, that brought crypto winter, and gold did nothing in high inflation, until more recently here.   Rather than high delinquency rates we've got low delinquency rates. In fact, the mortgage delinquency rate has been steadily falling for almost 3 years now. That's because of strong borrowers and tough lending standards.   Now, another real estate investing trend, though there's nothing paradoxical here, is mortgage rate resets.    Here in the US, on 1-4 unit rental properties, you're in great shape, whether you locked in your interest rate at 3% or 7% - the thing is that you have a steady payment… and on an inflation-adjusted basis, your same monthly payment amount goes DOWN over time - it's a tailwind to your personal finances.   Inflation cannot touch your steady, locked-in P & I payment.   But many Canadians are up for renewal with their 5-year fixed rate, 25-year amorts.    Yeah, just across the border in Canada, they don't have these 30-year fixed rate amortizing loans.    Their rate resets every five years.   One Canadian homeowner that I talked to, he doesn't live in that posh of a home in Ontario, it's just a little above the median housing price.    His family's loan terms are about to reset on the primary residence and it's expected to increase their monthly payment by $1,280 / mo.   How would you feel if that happened to you overnight? It's a nuisance at best. It might even crimp your quality of life - or worse.   That can't really happen to you in the US.    Having a 30-year FRM is like you having rent control as a tenant.    In coastal areas, some tenants that have a rent control deal - New York, California, Oregon - they want to live in their home for decades under rent control because there's a ceiling on their rent. Move out of their unit - lose the deal and they'd have to reset somewhere else.   It's the same with you as an American homeowner or REI in the 1-to-4 unit space. Your P&I price cannot rise.    And, I've talked about the interest rate lock-in effect before, constraining the housing supply.    Get this. Just last week, First American Title Company informed us that the average resident duration in a home hit a record high.    Amongst this lower intrinsic mobility rate, interest rate lock-in effect, and other societal trends, the average resident duration in a primary home in now 10 years, 8 months.    Lower mobility. Studies show that people are holding onto their cars longer than ever, and people aren't parting with their real estate either.   So, then, with fewer properties coming to market, let's update the available supply of homes.    This is pulling from the same set of stats that I've been citing for years, in order to be consistent. Check this out. This is the FRED Housing Inventory - the Active Listing Count of Available US homes.   Remember, historically, it's 1-and-a-half to 2 million units available. In 2016 it was still 1-and-a-half million.   Then in April of 2020 it dipped below 1 million and fell sharply from there - which I've famously called this era's housing crash.    It was a housing SUPPLY crash - which hedges against a price crash.   It fell to as low as 435,000 a year later in mid-2021. Gosh, under a half million.   It's rebounded as builders know that they need to build more homes. Six months ago it got up to 750,000 available homes - which is still less than half of what  America needs.   And now, today, did the supply get up toward at least 1 million yet? No.    It has dropped back the other way to just 563,000. This astounding dearth of housing supply - it's a condition that we could very well be in for over a decade.   This scarce supply is a long-term American condition. Yes, it's good for your real estate values - both present and future. But it is a problem too. It's a contributor to homelessness!   The Covid home improvement boom is officially over. So says Home Depot. They posted a revenue drop in the first quarter and warned that annual sales would decline in 2023 for the first time in 14 years.    Home Depot said that shoppers are now holding off on the big-ticket purchases they made during the pandemic and are choosing to break up larger projects—like remodeling a bathroom—into smaller, bite-sized pieces.   There's a fascinating new study from a bipartisan think tank shows that everyone wants to LIVE ALONE.   That's what Business Insider just reported on. Now, of course, the term “everyone” is an exaggeration.   But Statista and Our World In Data tells us that - get this - this is the number of SINGLE-PERSON households in the US - people living alone.   Back in 1960, that figure was just a paltry 13%.   By 1970, 17% of households were people were living alone.   Every ten years, that percent crept up to 23, 25, then 26%. By 2010 it hit 27% and by 2022 it hit 29%.   Now, you can't think that's good for society - to have all these single-person households. Almost 3 in 10 living alone. C'mon. Find a good spouse.   But in any case, that's good for you as a REI, when, say, 10 people live amongst 5 homes rather than 3 homes - absorbing all that housing supply and keeping it scarce.     Even if the US population stayed the same, there's more home demand - with that trend.   Of course, the US population is growing, though really slowly, probably just a few tenths of 1% this year.   But because of all the Millennials and the embedded “Work From Anywhere” trend, housing demand is pretty strong.   The recent rental housing demand and rent boom came almost entirely due to a surge in household formation -- young adults leaving the nest and roommates decoupling to get their own space... especially in urban areas.   People working from home want more space (without a roommate) AND are willing to pay more for it -- and able -- to pay more for it.   So if you're bullish on work-from-home remaining the norm for at least a chunk of the population (and I am), you should be bullish on the rental demand outlook.    And this has really revitalized America's SUBURBS - that's the area where you find that space.   The WFH-fueled rise of the suburbs is a wake-up call to cities, where, in the case of NYC, 26 Empire State Buildings' worth of office space now sits empty.  The typical office worker is spending $2,000–$4,600 less annually in city centers. Because even if they GO to the city to work, they might only do that 2 days a week now - not 5. I've got more for you straight ahead, including a new forecast on how much home prices are expected to rise this year.   Again, check out my free video course if you haven't “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways”. Get it at GetRichEducation.com/Course   I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to Get Rich Education.   Yeah, big thanks to this week's show sponsors. I'm only bringing you those places that will bring real value to your life.   Now, here at GRE, I recently read an offer that one of these major sports gambling platforms sent us. They want to advertise on the show here.    Do you want to hear sports gambling ads on GRE? I've got an opinion about that, that I'll share with you shortly. Gambling is not the same as investing.    If you're wondering why you're hearing more about gambling, especially sports gambling than you had just a few years ago, well…   Now, just last week, it was FIVE years ago that the Supreme Court lifted a federal ban on sports gambling in the US.    That spawned a multibillion-dollar industry that's transformed how Americans watch, talk about, and experience sports.   Americans bet $95B on sports in legal jurisdictions with consumer protections last year. That's more money than the amount spent on ride sharing, coffee, or streaming… and you can bet that the off-the-books gambling number, if added in, would make that WAY higher. Two sports betting companies, DraftKings and FanDuel, control 71% of the US market, per gambling analytics firm Eilers & Krejcik. Gosh, that's almost a duopoly right there. But despite that, these companies have struggled to turn a profit. FanDuel recorded its first quarterly profit just last year, and DraftKings has YET to report a profitable quarter. Well, I'll just tell ya, it's one of those two big companies that inquired about advertising on GRE. Of the 50 states, the number is 33 that allow it. That's 2/3rd of the nation that has legal sports betting (Washington, DC, has it too). Another four states have legalized sports wagering, but don't have any sportsbooks operating yet. Interestingly, the three most-populous US states—California, Texas, and Florida—have not legalized sports gambling. And they account for 26% of all teams in the major North American pro leagues. The number of women joining sportsbook apps jumped 45% last year, marking the third straight year that new women users exceeded men. Hmmm. I guess that's the growth market there. My inclination to have gambling advertising and associating with these companies is NOT to do it… not to accept that advertising income. I don't see how that's serving you. This feels like a conflict in my gut and in my heart. Gambling is sort of the opposite of investing for a stable rental income stream.  I mean, either way, I guess you're putting your money at stake. But that's about the closest common ground I can find.  At least at this time… and probably all-time, it's a “no” for gambling content here. That's not any sort of moral judgment on the activity at all. I mean, gosh, as a teenager, I was really into sports gambling, but it was the informal kind. My friend & I each lay a $10 bill next to the TV - Phillies vs. Mets. Winner gets the $20 bucks. So, my inclination is a pretty easy “no”. Hook up with our sponsors - they support GRE. That's Ridge Lending Group, offering income property loans nationwide. JWB Real Estate Capital - if you want performing income property, JWB really has Jacksonville, FL sewn up & locked down. They do one thing and do it well. Then, Freedom Family Investments. Get started with them for real estate funds that are ultra-low hassle. Text “FAMILY” to 66866.  Where will the next ten years take you & I on the show here? I would love to be along for the ride with you. I hope that you'll be here with me.   Let me just take a moment to remind you that I'm grateful to have such a large, loyal audience to… well, listen to the words that I say every week. Thank you for your support.   This show has almost reached the 5 million download mark. I've been shown that it's between 4.8 and 4.9 million downloads now. I'm genuinely honored and a little humbled about that even.    Let's listen in to this 3+ minute CNBC clip. This is Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the NAR - the National Association of Realtors talking about the housing market just last week.    Now, a little context here - historically, the NAR has tended to give these dominantly sunny side-up, glowing, everything is always good & getting better kind of remarks on the housing market.   But I've been listening to the NAR's Lawrence Yun for quite a while and think he's been rather balanced.    Here, he discusses how real estate sales volume is down - which has a lot to do with low supply, that mortgage rates are steady, and that prices are slowly rising in most parts of the nation.   [OK, Vedran. Here's where we play the insert.]   0:09-3:42 First words to keep are: “Lawrence Yun…” Last words to keep are: “... half of the country.”   https://www.cnbc.com/video/2023/05/17/home-prices-still-rising-despite-sales-dropping-says-national-association-of-realtors-yun.html   Now, Lawrence Yun did go on to say that he thinks that the Fed should lower interest rates by a half point, and more.    Let us know if you'd like us to invite Lawrence Yun onto the show. As always, you can leave your suggestions, questions, or any comments about the Get Rich Education podcast or any of our other platforms at our Contact center at: GetRichEducation.com/Contact   When it comes to national HPA, just last week, we learned that Zillow revised its home price outlook upward.   Between April 2023 and April 2024, Zillow expects home US home values to rise 4.8%.   You've got more signs that more & more American markets are being considered a seller's market rather than a buyer's market, which tilts toward price appreciation, though I still think pretty moderate price appreciation this year.    CNN recently published an article where they even posited the question: “Are Bidding Wars Back?” Yes, they are in a few markets.     Another measure of housing supply is the MONTHS of available supply. I think you know that 6 to 7 months of inventory is considered a balanced supply & demand market.   If it gets up to 10 months of supply, you tend to see little or no HPA.    Well, indicative of the low housing supply, we hit a winter high of 4-and-a-half months of supply.    And today, it's down to just 2.7 months per Redfin. 2.7 months. That's just another sign that demand is outpacing supply.   Then, among those entry-level homes, like the NAR's Lawrence Yun eluded to, they're even harder to find… and they're the ones that make the best rentals.    How hard are these to find? I mean, in some markets this can be even more rare than finding a true friend? Ha!   Is it as rare as the Hope Diamond? Or perhaps a Honus Wagner baseball card? Ha!   Well, the good news is that we actually have the inventory that you want at GRE Marketplace.   Besides that, we actually have something that you really like and that is - mortgage rate relief to help you with your cash flow.    Purchase rates have been hovering around 6 1/2% lately. That's the OO rate, so for rentals, it could be 7%+.   Well, how about rolling back the hands of time? Through our great relationships here and our free investment coaching, you have access to 4.75% interest rates on investment property - and many of these are new-builds in path-of-progress Florida.   Yes, our free coaching will get you the 4.75% mortgage interest rate, they'll even help write the sales contract for you if you're new to this, walk you through the property inspection, the property condition, the appraisal.    Yes, a 4.75% interest rate… today, from these homebuilder buydowns. I don't know how much longer that can last.    To be clear, you're not buying an income property FROM us. You're buying it with our help and our connections. It is all free to you. This is educational support for you.   In fact, our coaching support like this through our sole investment coach, Naresh is becoming so popular, that I can announce that we soon plan to add a second investment coach. Yes! A new one.   And interestingly, you have heard of this soon-to-be second investment coach because they've been a guest on the show here a number of times. Yeah, we'll make that introduction on a future show. You'll find THAT interesting.   But, our Investment Coach, Naresh, does have some slots open to talk with you and help you out. A lot of the best deals currently with these 4.75% rates are with new-build Florida duplexes and fourplexes.    You can use them for rental SFHs too. Last I checked, the deals were a little better on the duplexes and fourplexes.   You probably thought that Sub-6 and sub-5 mortgage rates are about as unlikely to make a sudden comeback as AOL or Myspace, but we've got them here now.    Now, that 4.75% is just one of two options that we have with some Build-To-Rent builders that are fairly motivated. So to review the first one fully… you can get a   4.75% interest rate with a 25% down payment 1 year of free property management and $1,000 off closing costs per deal That's one. Or, option 2 is: Zero down payment - yes, 100% financing 2 years free property management $1,000 off closing costs per deal Negotiable price, open to offers They are the two options.  It's rarely more attractive than this. If you hear this in a few weeks, or perhaps months, I doubt that these options will be there any longer.   So I'll close with something actionable that can really help you now.    If you want to do it yourself, that's fine, like thousands of others have, get a selection of income property - despite this national dearth of supply at GREmarketplace.com   Or, like I said, right now, it's really helpful to connect with an experienced GRE Investment Coach - it's free - our coach's name is Naresh - for those 4.75% interest rates or zero down program - whatever's best for you… you can do all that at once at GREmarketplace.com/Coach   Until next week, I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. DQYD!  

Your daily hygiene routine has more to do with the future of our planet than you may think. Around the world, 1.5 billion toothpaste tubes are discarded each year, enough to fill 50 Empire State Buildings. And since most tubes are made of mixed materials, typically plastic and aluminum, they are incredibly difficult to recycle and often wind up in landfills. The design has changed very little since the invention of the first toothpaste tube in 1856, but that's starting to change. Lindsay McCormick is the founder and CEO of Bite, makers of plastic-free, cruelty-free products on a mission to become the world's most sustainable personal care company. Lindsay has built a multimillion-dollar company aimed at getting plastic out of our daily routines with her first product being viral toothpaste tablets in 2018. Since then, Bite has created an entirely plastic-free oral care set and most recently, released the first ever 100% plastic-free deodorant with compostable refills and its plastic-free and pump-free body balm. During this episode, Lindsay and I had an insightful conversation about the challenges she faces as a pioneer in her industry and her advice for new founders seeking to make a change.

In Vlaanderen alleen al produceert de bouwsector jaarlijks 15 miljoen ton bouw- en sloopafval. Dat is het equivalent van maar liefst 40 afgebroken Empire State Buildings. Die gigantische berg afval betekent natuurlijk een potentiële goudmijn aan herbruikbare grondstoffen en materialen. De voordelen die urban mining voor het klimaat, de mens en de natuur kunnen hebben lijken voor de hand liggend, maar is het wel zo eenvoudig en voordelig als het er op het eerste gezicht uitziet? We vragen het aan 3 experten: Peter Artois: technisch directeur bij ION, Anton Maertens: medeoprichter BC Architects Studies & Materials en Sam Vandenberghe: Atelier Circuler vzw (een open werkplaats waar ze aan urban mining doen).

Here's a staggering statistic. Scientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made: 8.3 billion tonnes. Looked at another way, that's as heavy as 25,000 Empire State Buildings or one billion elephants. And incredibly, almost all of it has been made in the last 65 years. 这是一个惊人的统计数据。科学家计算出塑料的总量：83亿吨。换个角度看，它有 25,000 座帝国大厦或 10 亿头大象那么重。令人难以置信的是，几乎所有这些都是在过去 65 年中完成的。So what's the problem? Much plastic is in the form of packaging which is used just once and then thrown away. According to a major new study from the University of California, 9% of this is recyled, 12% is incinerated and 79% goes to landfill. And because most plastic doesn't biodegrade, once it's in the ground, it stays there. 所以有什么问题？很多塑料都是包装形式，只使用一次就扔掉了。根据加州大学的一项重大新研究，其中 9% 被回收利用，12% 被焚烧，79% 进入垃圾填埋场。而且由于大多数塑料不会生物降解，因此一旦进入地下，就会一直存在。It's a situation that has led the paper's lead author, ecologist Dr Roland Geyer, to say that we are “rapidly heading towards ‘Planet Plastic'”. He believes that there's already enough waste out there to cover the whole of Argentina.正是这种情况导致该论文的主要作者、生态学家 Roland Geyer 博士说我们“正在迅速走向‘塑料星球'”。他认为那里的垃圾已经足够覆盖整个阿根廷。The team behind this report also estimate that eight million tonnes of plastic waste are escaping into the sea every year. This has generated concern that plastic is entering the food chain, though fish and other sea life which ingest the smaller fragments.该报告背后的团队还估计，每年有 800 万吨塑料垃圾流入大海。这引起了人们对塑料正在进入食物链的担忧，尽管鱼类和其他海洋生物会摄入较小的碎片。Of course, the reason why there's so much plastic around is that it's an amazingly useful material. We can't get enough of it. It's durable and adaptable, and is used for everything from yoghurt pots to spaceships. But it's precisely this quality which makes it a problem. The only way to destroy plastic is to heat or burn it – although this has the side effect of harmful emissions.当然，周围有这么多塑料的原因是它是一种非常有用的材料。我们受够了。它耐用且适应性强，可用于从酸奶罐到宇宙飞船的所有物品。但正是这种品质使它成为一个问题。破坏塑料的唯一方法是加热或燃烧它——尽管这会产生有害排放的副作用。So what's the alternative, other than using less plastic? Oceanographer Dr Erik van Sebille from Utrecht University says we're facing a “tsunami” of plastic waste, and that the global waste industry needs to “get its act together”.那么除了使用更少的塑料之外，还有什么选择呢？乌得勒支大学的海洋学家 Erik van Sebille 博士说，我们正面临着塑料垃圾的“海啸”，全球垃圾行业需要“齐心协力”。Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says it's poor design that's at fault. He says that if products are currently designed “with recyclability in mind”, they could be recyled around 20 times over.普利茅斯大学的海洋生物学家理查德汤普森教授说，糟糕的设计是错误的。他说，如果产品目前的设计“考虑到可回收性”，它们可以回收大约 20 倍。Dr Geyer agrees: “The holy grail of recycling is to keep material in use and in the loop for ever if you can. But it turns out in our study that actually 90% of that material that did get recycled - which I think we calculated was 600 million tonnes - only got recycled once.”Geyer 博士对此表示赞同：“回收的圣杯是尽可能地保持材料的使用和循环。但在我们的研究中发现，实际上 90% 的材料确实被回收了——我认为我们计算出来的量是 6 亿吨——只被回收了一次。”词汇表staggering 令人震惊的packaging 包装材料incinerate 被焚毁的landfill 垃圾填埋场biodegrade 生物降解ecologist 生态学家food chain 食物链ingest 咽下（食物）fragment 碎片，碎块durable 耐用的adaptable 适应性强的emission 排放物oceanographer 海洋学家tsunami 海啸get your act together 合理安排，有条理地筹划marine biologist 海洋生物学家at fault 有责任，有过错recyclability 可再利用性loop 循环turn out 结果是（尤指出乎意料的结果）

Each year, we produce about 30 billion tonnes of concrete globally. That's nearly 10,000 pounds, or more than 2 entire cars-worth of concrete, per person, per year.  We produce enough steel to build more than 2700 Empire State Buildings annually.  We produce more than 100 pounds of plastic per person, each year. And with all of this material production, we also produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions.Nearly one-third of global GHG emissions come from industry, with steel, concrete, and chemical manufacturing (i.e. plastics) being the largest contributors. These industries are tough to decarbonize because they require performing chemical reactions at high temperatures, not easily achieved through electrification, and because they emit greenhouse gasses as a by-product.Climate Now sat down with Dr. Rebecca Dell of the ClimateWorks Foundation, the largest philanthropic program in the world dedicated to reducing and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions that come from the material economy. Dr. Dell shares how these industries are approaching decarbonization, and what kind of technological, policy and market innovations will be needed to reduce the industrial carbon footprint.01:32 - Rebecca Dell's background04:17 - ClimateWorks04:30 - What is the "industrial sector" in the climate context?05:48 - Decarbonizing petrochemicals (i.e. plastics)17:51 - Decarbonizing concrete and cement30:04 - Decarbonizing steel

It's Global Recycling day! Each of you has a sheet of paper in front of you that has 5 words on it. Cardboard... Plastic... Glass... Paper... and Aluminum. We're gonna go around the room... I'll tell you a FACT... you have to tell me, which one of those materials I'm talking about. Alexis: Approximately 100 Billion of these are produced each year in North America alone. And if you can recycle ONE TON of it, that would save 46 GALLONS of Oil each time. What is it? Brooke: The average person has the opportunity to recycle more than 25,000 of this item in their lifetime. And normally, less than a quarter of that actually gets recycled. What is it? Jose: 28 BILLION of these go into Land-Fills every year, instead of recycling centers (which they SHOULD be). That's enough to fill 2 Empire State Buildings every 3 weeks.... What is it? Jeff: Two a half million of these are thrown away every hour in North America... And unfortunately only 23% of these are recycled. Which means we all could do a MUCH better job. What is it?

Bite started with two questions: Why does toothpaste come in plastic tubes and what exactly are we putting in our bodies when we brush our teeth? At the heart of Bite, they wanted to do better. That means asking themselves, every day, how they can improve. Whether it's mindlessly tossing out an empty toothpaste tube or glossing over the ingredients list, small daily actions can shape the future of our planet. By uncovering how we can be better to ourselves and to the earth, we are one step closer to a healthier and plastic-free world. More than 1 billion plastic toothpaste tubes are thrown out each year, with harsh chemical residues. More than 100 million animals suffer and die in the U.S. every year in cruel chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics tests. Every year, more than 50 Empire State Buildings worth of toothpaste tubes end up in landfills or oceans. Lindsay McCormick set out to change that. Starting a world changing business out of a living room definitely wasn't easy, but it was necessary. "Bite was founded on the belief that a brighter smile doesn't need to come at the expense of our bodies or the environment. Our daily habits matter, and the small changes we make together can add up to something big."

Cada año, se producen unos 1.320 billones de huevos en el mundo, lo que corresponde a más de 70 millones de toneladas. ¡70 millones de toneladas! Es decir, un peso equivalente a 6.930 Torres Eiffel, a 192 Empire State Buildings o a más de 2.830 Estatuas de la Libertad con su base y estructura. Ante esta importante presencia en nuestras cocinas, era momento de hablar de ellos y sobre algunas de sus preparaciones más emblemáticas. Por eso, en este segundo plato de enero, Pilar y Tomás, inspirados por la gastronostalgia, nos llevan a algunos de sus recuerdos y nos hablan de sus preparaciones favoritas. Porque con esa cantidad de unidades producidas y consumidas, su variedad gastronómica es infinita. Desde los benedictinos y los florentinos, dos de las recetas más extendidas, hasta unos simples huevos escalfados o poché (la receta de este mes), el episodio de hoy del podcast recorre diversos países y aclara algunas de sus variantes por la forma de cocción y el tiempo utilizado, una herramienta indispensable para llevar los huevos a la mesa. ¡Disfrútalo! Y si es en compañía, mucho mejor. Así que no dudes en compartirlo.

The NYC water supply is enormous! It serves 9.5 million people every day, and has a capacity of 570 billion gallons. That's the equivalent of 2,059 Empire State Buildings full of water!

Doug takes us to the Sky Islands of Arizona, a unique natural habitat being ripped apart by Donald Trump's border wall. There, 30-foot-tall pylons of steel—enough to build 10 Empire State Buildings—are being driven into the ground as contractors dynamite through mountain ranges and disrupt critical habitat for species like jaguar, javelina and endangered fish and reptiles.Along the way, he helps make a scientific discovery and faces a late night encounter with a vigilante.Follow Along Guest: Doug MainHost: Joe SillsThe Show: Get Lost PodcastRead More: "The U.S. border wall is tearing through wilderness, right under our noses" - National Geographic

My friends! SAGE LAROCK offers a modern image of luxury - clothing that supports women feeling beautiful both inside and out. We create our clothing entirely from sustainable, recycled or organic materials, and produce ethically and locally, using non-toxic and plant based dyes. SAGE LAROCK is committed to environmental and social excellence throughout every stage of production, utilizing high quality materials and ethical garment manufacturing. We use only sustainable fabrics such Oeko-Tex Standard certified Italian swim & activewear fabric, which is made from upcycled fishing nets recovered from the ocean rather than virgin polyester fabric, which is made from petroleum oil, is highly chemically intensive, and is the least sustainable fabric available. By instead using upcycled fishing nets, we help keep our Ocean clean, marine life safe, create 80% less carbon emissions than regular swim & active fabric, and hope to create solutions to utilize the 640,000 tons (equivalent to 2 Empire State Buildings) of nylon fishing nets that are dumped in our Ocean every year. Also, we never use fabrics such as rayon or viscose that are often sourced from the world's ancient and endangered forests.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wer oder was ist verantwortlich für den aktuellen Klimawandel? Ist es wirklich der Mensch? Und woher wissen wir das so genau? Begleite Gabriel Baunach in den Gerichtsprozess, der diese Fragen ein für alle Mal klären soll (Das Gerichtsurteil basiert übrigens auf einem realen Fall des High Court in London, bei dem im Jahr 2007 gegen die Klimawandel-Dokumentation „Eine unbequeme Wahrheit“ von Al Gore, des ehemaligen Vize-Präsidenten der USA, geklagt wurde).

There's something about New York City that Hollywood can't resist, since the early 1900's the city has served as the setting for thousands of films.

Plastic waste has been a global crisis waiting to happen. To date it's estimated that around 8.3 billion tonnes of waste plastic exists. That's 25 Empire State Buildings or 1 billion elephants. Incredibly around half of this has been generated in just the last 14 years, despite mass production having begun in the 1950s. Events such as China's recent refusal to take any more "foreign rubbish" and Sir David Attenborough's graphic portrayal of the devastation that plastic waste is causing in our oceans, has prompted political and media discussion like never before. We are at a critical moment where, if we're to turn the tide on plastic pollution, it will require science and society to come together to create real change. But it won't be easy. One major area that needs an overhaul is recycling. In the UK only 14% of plastic collected is recycled. We, and the rest of Europe tend to burn our waste for energy, and plastic has a calorific value similar to that of coal. But proponents of the circular economy say we should never consider plastic as waste at all and we should think of it as 'Buried Sunshine' - a resource that needs conserving - by reusing and recycling again and again.

In this episode we talk about the journey towards a sustainable clothing industry with Gustav Wessman, CMO at Sellpy and Shameek Ghosh, CEO & Founder at TrusTrace.Episode nr 21 is part 1 of 3 from a live podcast recorded at Norrsken Impact Week 2019. In this talk we had Gustav Wessman, CMO at Sellpy and Shameek Ghosh, CEO & Founder at TrusTrace as guests.The amount of clothes that are being dumped in landfills worldwide are enough to fill 1,5 Empire State Buildings every single day. Garments are often times produced in ways that have negative impact on people and planet. There are many interesting innovations that tackle this issue and in this episode we talk with Sellpy who make it easy to buy and sell clothes online second hand. We also have TrusTrace with us who make it possible for brands and customers to trace impact of clothes.(Episode in english)Mer info:Hemsida: KLICKA HÄRInstagram: KLICKA HÄRLyssna på avsnittet: KLICKA HÄRSigna upp dig för vårt nyhetsbrev: KLICKA HÄR See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The global toothpaste market is huge. In 2018, it was valued at $26 billion and is expected to reach $36 billion by 2024. Unfortunately, it also comes with an enormous cost.More than one billion toothpaste tubes end up in landfills and oceans every year. That’s equivalent to fifty Empire State Buildings — every. single. year.Enter Lindsay McCormick and her company, Bite - the world's most sustainable oral care company on a mission to eliminate single-use plastics, one smile at a time.*This episode is brought to you by Bite Toothpaste Bits, the all-natural, plastic-free, chewable toothpaste tablet.

Join Katherine and I as we explore a different side of National Parks where people drink too much water at the Grand Canyon and others purposefully hurl themselves off cliffs taller than two Empire State Buildings stacked on top of each other. Andrea Lankford’s Ranger Confidential: Living, Working, and Dying in the National Parks dives deep into the gritty and often unseen lives of park rangers and their day-to-day work. It’s a bit gruesome, it’s very fascinating, and extremely emotional at times. In our discussion, Katherine gives us a small glimpse into when she herself worked at Acadia National Park and we both agree that we don’t want to ever do BASE jumps.

Plastics are fantastically versatile materials that have changed our lives. It is what we do with them, when we no longer want them, that has resulted in the global plastic crisis. Mark Miodownik explores our love hate relationship with plastics. Programme Two: Things begin to go stale Plastic waste has been a global crisis waiting to happen. To date it's estimated that around 8.3 billion tonnes of waste plastic exists. That's 25 Empire State Buildings or 1 billion elephants. Incredibly around half of this has been generated in just the last 14 years, despite mass production having begun in the 1950s. Events such as China's recent refusal to take any more "foreign rubbish" from the west and Sir David Attenborough's graphic portrayal of the devastation that plastic waste is causing in our oceans, has prompted political and media discussion like never before. We are at a critical moment where, if we're to turn the tide on plastic pollution, it will require science and society to come together to create real change. But it won't be easy. One major area that needs an overhaul is recycling. In the UK only 14% of plastic collected is recycled. Europe tends to burn our waste for energy, and plastic has a calorific value similar to that of coal. But proponents of the circular economy say we should never consider plastic as waste at all and we should think of it as 'Buried Sunshine' - a resource that needs conserving - by reusing and recycling again and again.

White notes that “a staggering number of people lack access to these things. Many die as a result. Communities and countries stay trapped in poverty. About 750 million people – one in nine-lack access to safe water. More than twice that many, 2.5 billion people, do not have access to a toilet.” “In just one day, women spend 200 million hours collecting water for their families. That is equivalent to the amount of time it would take to build 28 Empire State Buildings—in one day. Imagine the wealth these women will create when they can use these 200 million hours in productive employment, rather than foraging for water,” White adds. Water.org has observed that many people who live in urban slums live on top of water systems to which they don’t have access. White explains that they have developed a new strategy for giving the poor access to existing systems. White says, “We created WaterCredit to unleash the power of the poor. By enabling the poor to finance toilets and taps in their own homes, we’re spreading capital costs across a broader swath of stakeholders. Progress goes up at an exponential rate.” “This approach is working. It’s transforming lives. And it’s ready to really take off. WaterCredit has so far made it possible for over two million people in six countries to gain access to water or build toilets in their homes. Forty-eight microfinance institutions help us administer the loans. The loans are repaid at the rate of 99%. And over 90% of our borrowers are women. Since 2004, we’ve invested over $10.9 million in WaterCredit. This has in turn leveraged an additional $97 million in commercial and social capital. Traditional charity, by its nature, is unable to achieve this kind of impact,” White concludes. Please consider whether a friend or colleague might benefit from this piece and, if so, share it.
