Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
Welcome, Regenerators! In this special bonus episode of Care More Be Better, we bring together Parts 9 and 10 of our Regeneration series inspired by Paul Hawken's groundbreaking book, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. Trimmed for your listening pleasure.Part 9: Energy We dive deep into renewable energy—from solar and geothermal to wind and microgrids. We discuss the rise of electric vehicles, heat pumps, energy storage innovations, and the need to electrify everything. I even share my journey of switching banks away from JP Morgan Chase, which heavily funds fossil fuels, and what that kind of vote-with-your-wallet action means.Part 10: Industry We take on the hard truths about Industry—Big Food, Healthcare, Plastics, Fashion, War, and more. We explore how extractive capitalism must be replaced with regenerative thinking and practice. Along the way, I weave in insights from prior podcast guests and offer honest, tangible actions we can each take.Key Topics Covered:Fossil fuel phaseout & the renewable revolutionElectric vehicles, energy efficiency & infrastructureSolar, geothermal, and microgrid innovationRegenerative agriculture's connection to healthThe politics and economics of extractive industriesFashion waste, plastics pollution, and clean tech solutionsCarbon offsets vs. carbon onsetsResources & Links:Visit CareMoreBeBetter.com to access full transcripts, guest bios, YouTube videos, and moreLearn more about regenerative fashion from Caroline Priebe (Ep. 14) and Anca Novacovici (Ep. 33)Carbon: The Book of Life by Paul Hawken Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis In One Generation by Paul Hawken INTERVIEW WITH PAUL HAWKEN (Ep. 38): Regeneration: Ending The Climate Crisis In One Generation with Paul Hawken, 5 Time Best-selling Author and Environmentalist11 Part Series on Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis In One GenerationRegeneration Part 1: Podcast Updates And Regenerating Our Oceans Regeneration Part 2: Forests And Their Role In Climate Change Regeneration Part 3: Wild Things and Wilding, A Review of Paul Hawken's Book on Ending The Climate Crisis in One Generation Regeneration Part 4: A Review of The Climate Activist Portal – Nexus – on Regeneration.org with Anca Novacovici, Tia Walden, Julie Lokun and Nicole Davis Regeneration Part 5: Land, Regenerative Agriculture and Soil Restoration To Reverse Global Warming Regeneration Part 6: People, Indigeneity and Our Role In Reversing Global Warming Regeneration Part 7: Cities, Green Architecture, The Living Building Challenge and Getting To Net Positive Regeneration Part 8: Food, The Need for Localization and Decommodification To End The Climate Crisis Regeneration Part 9: Energy Use, Renewal and Storage As We Transition Away from Fossil Fuels and Electrify Everything Regeneration Part 10: Solving The Climate Crisis By Regenerating Industries Regeneration Part 11: The Role of Action + Connection In Reversing Global WarmingJoin the Conversation: Have a question for Paul Hawken?

In Asia, bamboo has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. Prized for its availability, strength, and flexibility, it has over a thousand uses—including scaffolding during the construction of high rises in Hong Kong. So why has it been slow to be adopted by the global construction industry? It's a sustainability advocate's dream: it sequesters carbon; provides wildlife habitats; supplies biofuel. Some species mature in just five years and can auto-regenerate after harvesting. But how does it stack up against concrete, steel, and timber? With the right ingredients, engineered bamboo shows major promise as a regenerative building material of the future. Brock University's Dr. Amir Mofidi is an expert in bio-based composites and he's developing cold-hardy, construction-ready strains that can handle North American climates.Join the Building Good community today:https://www.buildinggood.caLinkedIn
In this episode of "Radio Spaetkauf," recorded in collaboration with the Europäische Akademie Berlin, we focus on the future of urban living; asking the question, "What is the city of tomorrow?". Host Daniel Stern is joined by architect Max Schwitalla and author Aiki Mira. The conversation begins with Max sharing how skateboarding background influenced his urban design approach, and with Mira reading a passage from their award-winning novel “Neurobiest" describing Berlin of the future topped by green rooftop communities. From there we discuss visions for the future: inclusive, polycentric urban design, mobility hubs, and discarding anthropocentricism to leave space for nature. The exploration of "The City of Tommorow" brings us to innovations (both real and imagined), micro-utopias, and proposals for infrastructure which is reusable, queer and adaptable.

As humans, we have notable biophilic responses to natural materials, forms, fractal patterns, and so much more. However, one material stands out from the rest for the particularly strong fascination it seems to hold - wood. In this special edition of Biophilic Solutions, hear from green building expert Bill Browning as he explores the science behind our distinct inclination for wood and wood patterns and why the presence of this particular material has been shown to lower stress, reduce blood pressure, and provide a sense of comfort and warmth. Dive deeper into this fascinating concept by reading The Nature of Wood white paper, authored by Bill Browning, Catie Ryan, and Claire DeMarco in our shownotes.Show Notes:The Nature of Wood (Terrapin Bright Green)Forestry Innovation InvestmentSoftwood Lumber BoardSasanqua Spa Kiawah Island (Clodagh)Oliver Heath Studio Maggie's Leeds Center by Heatherwick Studio (ArchDaily)14 Patterns of Biophilic Design (Terrapin Bright Green)Key Words: Biophilia, Biophilic, Biophilic Design, Green Building, Architecture, Green Architecture, Nature, Nature Based Design, Nature Based Solutions, Wood, Wood Grain, Mass Timber, Mass Timber Building, Psychology, Wellness

Natalie has done work for some of the most impressive companies on the planet, but it's her strong connection to nature that makes her approach more powerful and this conversation richer.In this episode, Doug and Natalie explore the idea of how cities can be designed to evoke the same feelings mother nature and her beautiful landscape brings out of us so naturally.Doug and Natalie get into some additional conversation and talk about her "Wide Net / Small Net" theory when it comes to how we can leverage group size during creative thinking.Follow Imagine a Place on LinkedInConnect with Doug Shapiro on LinkedIn
The focus on sustainable building design principles has gained traction in the last few decades as the climate crisis becomes more and more worrisome. LEED-Accredited Professional and Director of Sustainability at Livolt Energy Engineering, Ryan Clarke, see "green architecture" as transforming the way both building industry professionals and everyday citizens relate to their spaces. As green building takes even more center stage, Ryan is confident that countries will adopt more regulations that foster a sustainable environment, as engineers and architects get certified to handle these demands, and entrepreneurs develop new technologies to meet the environmental needs of the construction industry.

Architecture could hardly be greener or more just: all the materials used in a new Berlin residential/office building are waste products or can be reused. The building is sustainable and a model of innovation.
Today on our show, we're talking about the relationship between the built environment and the natural world. To do this, we're joined by Mary Davidge, independent environmental advocate and former Director of Global Design for Real Estate and Workplace Services at Google. Mary has spent her entire career working at the intersection of health, design and nature. Since recently leaving Google, she's been dedicating her time more fully to environmental causes, and investigating ways to help communities become more resilient in a time of global climate crisis. Mary shares how nature has guided her path as a designer –and why sometimes it's good to have more questions than answers.Brought to you by frog, a global creative consultancy. frog is part of Capgemini Invent.

In this episode we tackle the interesting topic of green architecture. We talk about how it originated, what it is and why it is important for the environment, human health and the economy. We specifically mention various green buildings around the world as well as discuss the work of Italian architect Stefano Boeri, who we found through a YouTuber called Ben, who has a channel calling 'Going Green'. Stefano Boeri's website: Home | Stefano Boeri Architetti Ben's videos mentioned in the podcast: Green Architecture Saving the World | Visiting Sustainable Buildings from Across the Planet - YouTube Could Architects Save the Planet? | Sustainable Architecture - YouTube
Is designing and producing architecture a political act? Or are architects merely serving the client and the building they had done has nothing to do with politics. (That is what Patrik Schumacher, a star architect suggested). When architects and urban planners and other professionals need to deal with issues on sustainability together, are they collaborating to create a better society, hence is a 'political gesture' ( our counter argument).Another factor is designing for social equity.Dr. Robert Bullard, climate justice pioneer and Distinguished Professor of Urban Planning and Environmental Policy at Texas Southern University in Houston, states that architects and urban planners need to tackle social challenges with an interdisciplinary team approach.“Today, there are a lot of projects dealing with issues around sustainability, climate resilience, walkability, and equity. But if the architects don't build equity and health into the framing for these projects, you will get more gentrification and more exclusivity. You'll get more places that are somehow islands – that don't provide any heterogeneity in terms of ethnicity, in terms of income, in terms of kinds of occupations of the people who live there,” he states in an interview.© 2020 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobArt work in podcast is elevations by Wong Chiang Her on his Old Town Botanic Gardens design thesis project 2019-20 Drawing © Copyright: Universiti Malaya, Author: Wong Chiang Her

Paula Baker-Laporte FAIA, Architect, EcoNest Architecture Inc. Healthy Home Design and Consulting, discusses her important work in the emerging arena of healthy, green architecture. Baker-Laporte holds degrees from the School of Architecture at the University of Toronto, and The International Institute of Bau-Biologie and Ecology. Baker-Laporte's firm is dedicated to environmentally sound and health-enhancing architecture. She is a noted advocate for environmentally-sound architecture and was recognized as a United States ‘Top 10' green architect by Natural Home magazine. Baker-Laporte discusses her interest in ‘healthy' architecture. She talks about her personal background and her incredible sensitivity to various chemicals that negatively impacted her health. As she states, after battling pneumonia literally every year, and her regular bouts with dizziness and her general loss of focus, she began to dig deeper into how our environments, specifically architecture, can greatly impact our health and wellness. The recognized architect discusses the many problems that homes can have, from mold to chemicals to electromagnetic radiation. She talks about the ways we can improve our living environments, and begin to rid our homes of the negatively impacting agents. From standalone filtration systems, to reorganizing how you use your space (considering where you are sleeping), to vacuuming and cleaning practices and solutions, to simply opening windows, she discusses it all. Baker-Laporte was elected into the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects, recognized for her groundbreaking architectural and educational work in the emerging area of Natural Healthy Building.

Chris Colby, Principal of Spire Architecture & Design, provides an overview of how architecture impacts our quality of life and the importance today of “green” architecture—building to save energy and recycle materials. Mr. Colby outlines different steps to take to make a home more energy efficient. This includes solar and geothermal heating or electricity as well as basics such as sealing leaks and whole-home insulation. Mr. Colby offers suggestions for inexpensive ways to improve efficiency in new and older homes, as well as current information about wind power, shingle solar panels, and other energy systems. He also discusses the cost of implementing such “green” home improvements. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/radiorotary/support
Coming back to the Tribeca Film Festival every year is Home. My backyard from New Jersey and access to some of the most interesting, spine tingling and controversial work programmed for eleven days. As always, we take in as many films as we can; however, this year I had broken my wrist a few weeks before Tribeca and after the surgery had only a week to work the schedule. We opted out of the Virtual Arcade featuring Storyscapes and the Cinema360, but had great impromptu conversations with fellow filmmakers and musicians into the television scene at the Filmmaker Lounge. Solid panels and extra-afternoon activities that are entertaining to watch as we take in the New York view. We also had an opportunity to celebrate Earth Day with receptions for a new way of Green Architecture and engineering and a present day denuclearization. Very awesome. Once Tribeca Hub centered the festival philosophy, it is gratifying to know that the overdone family street fair and the emphasis on sports passed its puberty, and has matured into a classy and sassy film festival that puts their filmmakers upfront, yet turns onto a road where social responsibility must also be weighed when conferring awards onto films that recognize terrorism as legitimate conflicts. We must remain vigilant over media takeover for propaganda purposes. Keep the faith.

The trend toward green building in major cities across the country and world is becoming less a movement than the norm. There are many ways to design environments and, importantly,… Read more about this episode...
The lecture critiques the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) certification system, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The criteria for being highly rated under LEED emphasize energy efficiency and minimizing waste, but do not prioritize environmental health and limiting use of dangerous plastics and chemicals. USGBC is a non-profit organization, not a government agency, and has employees of for-profit organizations on its board of directors. The lecture discusses the implications of having a non-profit organization run this system and be responsible for evaluating environmental quality in architecture and construction.
