“1% for the planet is really set up as a way to sort of break it down, and create a pathway to action that kind of gets us through the overwhelm. So, the way it works is that we have businesses who are our members, and they're actually supporting environmental partners at the level of 1% of revenues….You invest in the things that matter and the planet matters. …(The point is to) drive impact at scale. And so, in terms of that scale, last year we certified US$100million of support going from these companies to environmental partners….When a company joins, they pay a dues fee to us, but then the rest of their 1%, they will give directly to environmental partners….And then at the end of each year, we certify that giving.” Kate Williams on Electric Ladies Podcast It's a time of year when people are thinking about making donations. So we want to talk about what nonprofits can really do, especially in partnership with the private sector and the public sector. It's about coming together, leveraging each other's strengths and networks to have a much larger impact. We sure need to have a much larger impact right now. So, how do we scale donations? Listen to Kate Williams, CEO of 1% For The Planet on how they help companies of all sizes and shapes leverage their donations strategically for their goals in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.  You'll hear about: How 1% For The Planet works – and why they certify their members' donations. How their Planet Impact Fund works – and the four areas they focus on. Stories of donations that made a big difference, and creative ways they did it Trends they have seen I the corporate donations over the past 10 years. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “A couple things. One is, step forward and step up before you think you might be ready.… Becoming a CEO or C-suite can be one way that you progress, but you can also just become really deeply knowledgeable in a particular area.… Sometimes as women and just as humans, we can maybe hold ourselves back. So, I would say like, step up before you're ready.…(S)upport appears when once I've taken the step….The other thing is stay open to serendipity…We may forget that serendipity is sometimes how the opportunities that we get to step into are shown to us…. So, stay open.” Kate Williams on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes article about this new report here and more of her articles here too.

In this interview episode (originally published in 2022), we explore how approval voting could change the political landscape in America with Aaron Hamlin, Executive Director of The Center for Election Science. Aaron shares his journey from political intrigue in grad school to advocating for a voting method that lets voters express a broader range of candidate preferences. Approval voting, a simple yet impactful system, allows people to vote for as many candidates as they approve of, with the candidate receiving the most votes winning. By tackling vote splitting and enabling voters to support multiple candidates, approval voting seeks to foster representation and discourage extremist candidates.Aaron offers insights into the success of approval voting in Fargo, St. Louis, and upcoming initiatives in Seattle, as well as the broader potential for state and even national adoption. We discuss how this system can reduce polarization, give voters more genuine choices, and improve political continuity by enabling policies that reflect broader support.Key Highlights:What is Approval Voting? Aaron breaks down the mechanics of approval voting, explaining how it differs from the "choose one" voting system and ranked-choice voting.Real-World Success Stories: Approval voting has seen success in Fargo and St. Louis, with campaigns expanding to other cities and states.How Approval Voting Reduces Vote Splitting & Extremism: By letting voters support multiple candidates, approval voting helps prevent extremist candidates from capitalizing on vote splitting, a common pitfall in primary elections.The Road to National Adoption: Aaron shares the Center for Election Science's roadmap to implementing approval voting on a national scale, allowing states to decide how their electoral votes are assigned.Take ActionListeners inspired by this episode can learn more and join local chapters to advocate for approval voting through The Center for Election Science.

The coffee industry is indeed one of the most thriving in the world, but it has a darker and rarely discussed aspect: the plight of its farmers. They constantly face low commodity prices and get little to no support, making them highly exploited by middlemen and at risk of climate change. Bob Fish and Michelle Fish share what they are doing to salvage the coffee industry through their business, Biggby Coffee. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, the couple shares how their direct-buying model guarantees coffee farmers fair prices and helps promote regenerative farming practices.

By the time she graduated, she was the General Manger of that restaurant and two years later, after helping them grow from one to four locations, she owned the third one. Michelle took a year off and created with co-founder Mike McFall the concept BIGGBY COFFEE. They started with one location in 1995, added a second in 1997, and started franchising in 1999. Today, they are 100% franchised and have 408 units open in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Idaho.Bob Fish and his wife Michelle are travelling the world in search of coffee farms and farmers that are taking exceptional care of their people and the planet. Their goal is that 50% of the 2,000,000 pounds of coffee that BIGGBY COFFEE sells in a year will be farm direct by 2013.

This week, we're sharing an earlier conversation with Hank Dearden, who we featured in October 2022. He runs a not-for-profit called Forest Planet, and he's able to do something truly amazing – he plants trees for just $0.15 each.How does he do it? By working within communities where the dollar goes further. He's recently taken on a project in Morocco where they are planting fig trees, and where they are working to restore biodiversity, shifting from mono-cropped fields to biodynamic regenerative farms that incorporate more species, that reduce tillage, and that incorporate livestock. As he states on his blog page about their work in Morocco – which I'll link to with show notes – The Right Trees, Planted in the Right Way, at the Right Time are an economically viable alternative. Before I share the episode, I also want to remind you that I've decided to support Hank and Forest Planet this year as my charity of choice.

It is not easy to talk about racism, misogynism, and patriarchy these days, even though they severely mess up the present state of our society. Karen, who goes by @kclmft on TikTok, bravely discusses these topics on the internet, mainly to put down the horrible concept of Trumpism and Project 2025. She joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how she is being hunted by the former president's MAGA crew as she uses her online platform to call out his racist and misogynistic behavior. They two also talk about the dangers of individualism, the importance of collective human action, and the right way to keep your own racism in check. About Guest:Karen, whose handle on TikTok is @kclmft, is a women's right activist who has a background as a licensed marriage and family therapist with over a decade of experience. She became involved in politics when Donald Trump came on the scene and she recognized his danger. Karen started making content online when she began receiving emails from his campaign, revealing the dog-whistles, the race-bating, and the all out calls to violence for all eyes to see. Because she's been so critical of Trump, speaking out against his misogynistic behavior, his stoking of racism and division, and his connection to Project 2025, she's under fire from Trump's MAGA crew. For that reason, we won't be revealing her full name, nor linking to her business on our podcast nor on our blog page. While she remains somewhat anonymous for the purposes of this interview, you are encouraged to find and follow her on TikTok @kclmft. Guest Social: https://tiktok.com/@kclmftJOIN OUR CIRCLE.

In this week's episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we chat with a new type of bag company that is changing the way you store produce inside your refrigerator at home. To tell the story correctly, Jordan's mother traveled through Europe on a path to find what could be the most sustainable bag in your fridge. Imagine this, the quality of this bag is so powerful that in the early 1800's medics used it to help clot wounds for soldiers on the battle field. Our guest Jordan Greig of Ambrosia Linen Refrigerated Bags tells all about the innovative product you want in your home. Who are they you ask? At Ambrosia, our values drive everything we do. We are passionate about reducing food waste in households and promoting equity. As a fair-wage company based in Ojai, California, we are proud to partner with 1% For The Planet.

Il n'est pas du genre à élever la voix ou à attirer les projecteurs. Et pourtant, voilà déjà un quart de siècle qu'Antoine Koch promène sa silhouette longiline et sa discrétion dans le monde de la voile de compétition. Et on pourrait ajouter "comme prévu" - ou presque - à la phrase précédente, tant ce garçon, né à Paris voilà 45 ans, a choisi sa voie très tôt.  Son destin est en effet scellé dès son plus jeune âge : il a beau être parisien, la maison de vacances familiale est mitoyenne de celle des Caudrelier à Fouesnant, il fréquente la fameuse école de voile du Cap-Coz dont sont issus - entre autres - Roland Jourdain et Jean-Luc Nélias. Bref, la baie de la Forêt est son jardin, et le bateau des parents l'emmène très vite vers des rêves de Vendée Globe.  A 20 ans, étudiant à l'Université de technologie de Compiègne - "parce qu'ils avaient un programme pour les athlètes de haut niveau" - il se lance dans son premier projet, la Transat AG2R ; l'année suivante, toujours étudiant, c'est sa première Solitaire du Figaro, où, benjamin de la course et bizuth, il se fait remarquer par une étonnante 8e place dans la première étape, qui se confirme par ses trois participations suivantes, toutes terminées... dans les 10 premiers, avec une victoire d'étape !  Avec le Vendée Globe dans le viseur, il rachète en 2002 Fila, l'Imoca de Giovanni Soldini, et se classe 5e de la Route du Rhum 2002 puis 8e de la Transat Jacques Vabre 2003, avant de devoir renoncer au tour du monde, faute de sponsor. Il rebondit quelques mois plus tard en prenant la barrre du trimaran Orma Sopra : il vit les dernières années du circuit et découvre le solo sur ces machines particulières, se classant 9e du Rhum 2006 puis 5e de la Transat Jacques Vabre.  Retour, ensuite au Figaro - avec une nouvelle victoire d'étape en 2009 -, un détour par le Multi50 et le Classe C, et le voilà sur le Mod70 Gitana en 2012 : le navigant se mue en coordinateur technique, au sein de l'écurie du baron où il participe à l'épopée de la création du Maxi Edmond de Rotschild.  En 2017, il passe à l'Imoca et entame une fructueuse collaboration avec Thomas Ruyant, avec qui il participe à la conception et au développement de LinkedOut, en particulier sur les voiles et les appendices, prenant la 4e place de la Transat Jacques Vabre en 2019 au passage. Le skipper de LinkedOut n'a pas encore fini son Vendée Globe qu'Antoine Koch commence à réfléchir au bateau suivant. Il s'associe avec Finot-Conq pour proposer un nouveau plan pour le prochain Vendée Globe, retenu par TR Racing mais aussi l'équipe Paprec Arkéa de Yoann Richomme.  Et on dirait que ça marche : For People, le plan Koch-Finot-Conq a remporté la Guyader Bermudes 1000 Race, avec à peine 6 sorties au compteur. Antoine Koch, lui, s'est emparé de la troisième place avec Sam Goodhild sur l'ex Linked Out, devenu For The Planet. Ingéneur-architecte, peut-être, mais navigant, toujours !

Phoebe Yu and Kat Dey are the co-founders of ettitude, an award-winning next-gen materials company innovating eco-textiles to fight climate change.While running two global textile companies, Phoebe Yu realized that textiles is the #2 most polluting industry in the world, and contributes 10% of global CO2 emissions.

Prior to ettitude, Dey had a decade of experience scaling mission-driven brands and was on the hunt for “the next big thing”. After sleeping on ettitude sheets and “having the best sleep of her life”, Kat decided to join ettitude as cofounder in 2018 to help scale the company.The brand grew, and customers asked for more products made from ettitude's patented non-toxic, buttery soft, breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics.

This has allowed the company to have a positive global perspective when serving its consumers.

Today's hot topic is fundraising. And what could be better than talking fundraising with our favorite weird sparkling water brand, Aura Bora. Aura Bora just raised a Series A round, led by Siddhi capital, bringing their lifetime funding as a brand to $10 million, and co-founder Paul Voge is here to share the details with us. Paul and his wife Maddie founded Aura Bora in 2019, and they make sparkling water from herbs, fruits, and flowers for earthly tastes and heavenly feelings. They use unique ingredients like basil, cactus, and lavender for a better-tasting experience, all while donating 1% of annual revenue to environmental causes via 1% For The Planet. Aura Bora is one of the fastest-growing beverage brands in the country with their 0 calorie, 0 sugar, non-GMO, plant-based, and craft flavors. Listen in as Paul shares about: - Aura Bora's different funding stages from friends and family, to seed rounds, to the recent Series A with institutional investors; - How he learned about the world of fundraising and his recommendations for getting started; - The logistics behind tackling fundraising from staying organized, to working as a team, to a favorite question to ask someone who says “No”; - How he says motivated and how they've built long term relationships with potential investing partners along the way; - The newly formed Aura Bora board of directors and what that means; - How Aura Bora will use the funds and exciting future growth plans; - And more!
