I Spent Months Researching Alternatives to Bird Feathers. Spoiler: It's Possible “What if, instead of plucking ostriches to use their feathers in fashion, designers sought to celebrate the qualities of plummage with alternative materials that don't exploit animals? That's what Emma Håkansson, founding director of Collective Fashion Justice, has spent months working with designers to do, trialling new ways to create the texture. Here, Håkansson discusses why this is a pressing animal welfare issue, and the new techniques and materials designers should know.” Listen to today's success story written by Emma Håkansson at GoodOnYou.eco #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #ethicalfashion #collectivefashionjustice #ostrichfeathers  ========================== Original post:  https://goodonyou.eco/more-ethical-bird-feather-alternatives/  ========================== Related Episodes: 573: [Part 1] The Human Rights Issues Behind Fashion's Animal Supply Chains https://sites.libsyn.com/342677/573-part-1-the-human-rights-issues-behind-fashions-animal-supply-chains-by-emma-hkansson-at-goodonyoueco 574: [Part 2] The Human Rights Issues Behind Fashion's Animal Supply Chains https://sites.libsyn.com/342677/574-part-2-the-human-rights-issues-behind-fashions-animal-supply-chains-by-emma-hkansson-at-goodonyoueco  518: Fashion and Animal Welfare: Everything You Should Know Before You Buy https://sites.libsyn.com/342677/518-fashion-and-animal-welfare-everything-you-should-know-before-you-buy-by-lara-robertson-at-goodonyoueco  472: The Environmental Impact of Animal Products in Fashion https://sites.libsyn.com/342677/472-the-environmental-impact-of-animal-products-in-fashion-by-joanna-psaros-at-goodonyoueco  315: Is Down Feather Ethical and Sustainable? https://sites.libsyn.com/342677/315-is-down-feather-ethical-and-sustainable-by-emma-hakansson-at-goodonyoueco  Use search feature at https://www.plantbasedbriefing.com/episodes-search   ========================= Good on You is the world's leading source for fashion brand ratings.

What happens when businesses destroy the very resources they depend on to survive? In this episode, biologist and radio host Alexander Holm explains the biodiversity crisis and reveals how industries are systematically eliminating themselves through overexploitation of natural resources. Nature provides essential services like cleaning water, holding soil together, and pollinating crops that would cost trillions to replace. Holm shows how Amazon beef production is destroying the rainfall it needs, fisheries have collapsed from overfishing, and farms are degrading their own soil. His keynote explores what biodiversity actually means, the free ecosystem services nature provides, and practical solutions for sustainable resource use without reducing living standards. This episode is part of our series on the LOOP Forum 2025 highlights, bringing you the key ideas and insights from this year's leading Nordic event on circularity.

Is AI intelligent—or just artificial? In this provocative episode, Dr. Noreen Herzfeld, a rare scholar of both computer science and theology, joins Dru Johnson to expose what most people overlook about artificial intelligence. Drawing from her recent book The Artifice of Intelligence, she challenges the mythology of AGI (artificial general intelligence) and critiques the environmental, social, and theological costs of current AI use. Herzfeld argues that large language models are plateauing and that the real danger isn't a superintelligence—it's our uncritical, energy-intensive use of biased software masquerading as neutral tools. She warns of AI's water and fossil fuel demands, its disembodied affirmation loops, and the illusion that chatbots are viable substitutes for therapists, pastors, or friends. Rooting her critique in Christian theology, Herzfeld defends the value of embodiment, human uniqueness, and community. She sees modern AI and transhumanist dreams as a return to ancient Gnostic heresies—disembodied, elitist, and ultimately dehumanizing. This episode is essential for anyone navigating the ethical, spiritual, and ecological implications of AI. You'll come away more equipped to use AI critically—and to resist the false promises of digital utopia.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world—but at what cost to our planet? In this episode, we dig into the overlooked environmental footprint of AI and the massive energy demands of data centers in vulnerable communities. We explore why sustainability needs to be baked into AI development from the start, and how environmental justice must be part of the conversation. If we don't plan responsibly, the same communities already facing the brunt of climate change could bear the hidden costs of AI's rapid growth.With special guest Yejide Olutosin, a sustainable finance strategist and clean energy leader with over a decade of experience shaping energy policies, supporting ESG investment strategies, and promoting environmental justice. She has helped mobilize millions of dollars in public and private capital to expand clean energy access, improve grid resilience, and drive policy reforms in more than 10 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and the Americas. She has also guided individuals and institutions in aligning their financial assets with climate goals, informed by her background in private wealth management and climate finance strategy.

We're in the midst of summer and we know that power outages can happen more frequently during this season due to higher temperatures and an increased demand for electricity. A couple years ago we sat down with Ram Rajagopal, an expert in the future of electrical power. He shared a few ways our existing system of massive power plants is slowly but surely giving way to a much leaner, decentralized system of small-scale power generation. Ram refers to this as a move from an “infrastructure-centric” model to a “human-centric” grid — one that will be much smarter, more inclusive and better able to adapt to the needs of individual users. It's a topic that impacts all of us and we hope you'll tune in again for a refresher on how the electric grid works and how it's evolving.Have a question for Russ?
