Plastics are everywhere — from bottles and food wrappers to your phone and your car — because they're cheap and durable. But over time, they break down into microplastics that may harm the environment and have been linked to potential health effects Global plastic production exploded from 2 million tons in 1950 to over 450 million tons by 2018. Without strict limits, it could triple by 2060, worsening pollution worldwide The manufacturing boom was fueled by convenience and profit. Today, single-use plastics dominate, and petrochemical companies rely on them for revenue, spreading pollution even to the most remote regions Sunlight, water, and even tiny organisms break plastic into micro- and nanoplastics. These fragments travel through air, water, and food, and eventually end up inside your body Scientists are racing to redesign plastics and strengthen global policies. Greener materials, recycling incentives, and binding treaties are crucial to stopping the flow of plastic waste and protecting future generations

Recently I had a guest on the Sunday Session – an Aussie who was in New Zealand and was loving it. They said everyone here was relaxed, welcoming, and smiled at you on the street. They were really taken aback by the mood here compared with over the ditch. In Australia, they said, it's pretty grim, everyone is down and just getting on with it. I asked how could that be? I thought the Australian weather and amazing lifestyle put everyone in a good mood. They said it had rained all summer. I thought this was an interesting observation, but I was a little bit sceptical. And then I stumbled across an article in the Sydney Morning Herald basically saying satisfaction with life among many Australians is lower now than during the depths of the pandemic, as the cost of living and housing is squeezing people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. The story was based on research released yesterday by consultancy agency KPMG which tracks life satisfaction - whether a person is content with their circumstances, so pretty much what it says on the tin. They discovered life satisfaction is now “substantially lower than it was in the mid-2010s across all age groups, while it has nose-dived among people facing the biggest financial hit.” Those in their 20s and 30s are dealing with high rents or large mortgages, and wealth has flatlined for the sandwich generation as they care for their children and their parents. Everyone is dealing with wages that have not kept up with inflation. Younger people and older people are a bit more satisfied – but not as much as they used to be. The key issue affecting satisfaction is the stress of managing household finances. “More than 21 per cent of people reported they would struggle to raise $2000 in a week for an emergency, while a quarter said they had experienced a cashflow problem in the past year.” It all sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it? And yet, drawn by higher wages and a larger and more diverse job market, Kiwis are still flooding over the ditch. I don't want to turn this into a competition about who is more satisfied with life, but it does make you wonder if we are balancing the scales somewhat? It depends on your priorities, doesn't it? If your priorities are income, career growth, warmer weather, and larger cities, Australia tends to come out ahead. If your priorities are nature, community, outdoor lifestyle, and a slower pace of life, New Zealand often comes out ahead. But one thing to consider —which may suggest we're slightly more satisfied in NZ— is we're not so frustrated with our lives and country that we'd likely consider Pauline Hansen for Prime Minister.

Should I stay or go now? Is it time to give up on Blighty? #JonGaunt #BrokenBritain #IllegalMigration #UKPolitics #Blighty #SmallBoats #UKCrime #CostOfLiving The sentiment on Jon Gaunt TV has never been clearer: people are fed up. But is it time to give up on Britain entirely? Tonight we're having the conversation everyone else is too afraid to have. I've seen your comments—you're telling me the country is "broken," "lost," and that the social contract has been shredded. From the "Two-Tier" policing and the disaster at our borders to the feeling that our identity is being erased, the frustration is at boiling point. Tonight, we're asking the big questions: The "Fed Up" Factor: What was the final straw for you? Is it the NHS, the cost of living, or the political betrayal of Brexit? What Would You Miss? Is there anything left of the "Original" British spirit worth staying for, or has the "once proud G.B." been destroyed for good? The Grass is Greener? We're looking at the reality of moving abroad. One viewer says they'd leave tomorrow for £40k to start a business in Thailand—is he right? Is life actually better as an expat, or are you just swapping one set of problems for another? This is an interactive show. I want to hear from those of you who have already left, those with a one-way ticket booked, and those who are staying to "Reset" this nation. Don't just moan in the comments—join the debate.

How can you communicate, collaborate and build trust across generations at work? This episode addresses this leadership challenge that many organisations are quietly navigating, but not always naming clearly. As workplaces become more complex, AI accelerates change, and expectations around leadership evolve, generational differences can easily become a source of misunderstanding, frustration or missed opportunity. Yet beneath the stereotypes about Gen Z, Millennials or Gen X, there is a much more nuanced conversation to have about identity, experience, communication and human connection. In this conversation with Alastair Greener, generational communication expert, founder of Present Yourself communications training, event MC, moderator, and current President of the Professional Speaking Association, we explore what really shapes generational behaviours. We examine why curiosity, not judgement, may be one of the most important leadership capabilities for the future. Alastair has worked in communications for over 30 years, with a background in TV presenting and performance, and helps organisations create stronger relationships and more cohesive workplaces through effective generational communication. His recently published book, Generationally Speaking, explores how generations communicate and what organisations need to understand to bridge differences more effectively. At the heart of this conversation is an important reminder: generational tensions are rarely only about age. They are often about expectations, upbringing, context, communication styles and the environments leaders create around people. What you will learn in this episode: Why generational stereotypes can create more barriers than understanding How communication gaps between generations can quietly impact productivity, engagement and retention Curiosity as one of the most powerful leadership skills when working across generations The role onboarding, expectations and workplace culture play in building trust with younger generations entering organisations Practical ways leaders can create stronger cross-generational relationships and more inclusive team dynamics Designing conversations and environments for social connection, learning and team Why future-focused leaders will need to embrace continual adaptation One of the strongest themes throughout this conversation is the tension between stereotypes and understanding. It is easy to describe generations with labels, but these don't help us build stronger relationships. Instead, understanding comes from asking better questions and recognising the wider influences shaping how people communicate and behave. Where might assumptions about generations be influencing how you communicate with your team?

Ireland has long been recognised as a place where global technology meets local ingenuity. From ambitious start-ups in Dublin and Cork to research-led projects emerging from universities and innovation hubs, the country's technology sector is no longer defined only by multinational investment. Increasingly, it is shaped by entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists and social innovators who want to build tools that solve real problems. The next stage of Ireland's digital journey will not be measured simply by the number of apps launched or platforms scaled. It will be judged by whether technology can become more trustworthy, sustainable and useful in everyday life. Artificial intelligence, cyber security, clean technology, digital health and responsible data governance are now central to that conversation. Artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses operate, how public services are delivered and how people interact with information. Yet the rapid rise of AI has also created urgent questions around transparency, bias, regulation and control. For Ireland, this presents both an opportunity and a responsibility. Irish researchers and founders are well placed to help shape AI systems that are not only powerful, but also accountable. Rather than chasing automation for its own sake, the most valuable AI companies of the coming decade will be those that improve decision-making while keeping humans firmly in the loop. Whether in healthcare diagnostics, legal technology, agriculture, education or financial services, the strongest products will be built on trust. Climate change has made sustainability a business necessity rather than a marketing preference. This is where Ireland's green tech and clean tech communities can play a major role. Smart energy management, circular economy platforms, low-carbon manufacturing, precision agriculture and climate data tools all offer ways to reduce waste while creating commercial value. For small and medium-sized enterprises, sustainability is often a practical challenge. They need affordable tools that help them monitor energy use, manage supply chains, reduce emissions and report progress clearly. Even routine office choices, from cloud infrastructure to printing supplies such as Brother ink cartridges, can become part of a wider conversation about responsible procurement and waste reduction. The companies that succeed will be those that make sustainability easier, measurable and economically sensible. Ireland's technology ecosystem benefits from a rare combination of academic strength, entrepreneurial energy and international connectivity. However, innovation does not happen in isolation. Start-ups need access to funding, mentors, test environments, skilled graduates and early customers. Larger companies need fresh thinking and agility. Public bodies need practical solutions that can scale. Collaboration between these groups will be essential. A medtech founder may need AI expertise from a university lab. A cyber security company may need support from an enterprise agency to reach European markets. A green tech start-up may need pilot partnerships with local councils or established manufacturers. When these connections work well, Ireland can turn good ideas into globally relevant companies. The most exciting future for Irish technology is not purely digital; it is human-centred. The aim should be to create systems that improve health, protect privacy, reduce environmental harm and support better work. That means designing products with accessibility in mind, communicating clearly with users and thinking carefully about unintended consequences. As AI becomes more capable and connected devices become more common, public confidence will matter more than ever. People will not adopt technology simply because it is new. They will adopt it when it is reliable, ethical and genuinely helpful. Ireland's next digital leap will depend on more than technical talent. It will require responsible leaders...

In this special two-part conversation on The Neoliberal Round Podcast, Dr. Nolan Fontaine joins Renaldo McKenzie to discuss two urgent struggles unfolding in America today: environmental justice in Chester, Pennsylvania, and the fight for Indigenous recognition and visibility.In Part 1, (this episode) Dr. Fontaine discusses the growing movement opposing Philadelphia's practice of sending its trash to Chester to be burned at the Reworld/Covanta incinerator — one of the largest incinerators in the United States. He speaks about the recent protest at Mayor Cherelle Parker's budget meeting in West Philadelphia, allegations surrounding political and corporate interests, the health impacts on Chester residents, and why activists describe the situation as environmental racism. The conversation explores decades of organizing by Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living (CRCQL), community resistance, youth activism, and the broader struggle over power, pollution, and accountability.In Part 2, which is scheduled to release on Memorial Day, May 24th, Dr. Fontaine shifts to his role as President of the Urban Indian Heritage Society (UIHS), where he discusses updates surrounding the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and its movement toward federal recognition as the 757th federally recognized tribe in America. The discussion explores Indigenous identity, urban Indigenous communities, cultural survival, political recognition, and the importance of visibility in a society that often treats Native peoples as relics of the past rather than living communities.This is a powerful conversation about resistance, identity, justice, survival, and the communities America too often ignores.Dr. Nolan Fontaine is a member of the CRCQL and is the Coordinator of the YouTh Arm. Dr. Nolan is also the President of the Urban Indian Heritage Society. Dr. Nolan Fontaine is also a brother of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity.Rev.

You're doing all the right things to make your home greener: you switched to solar and induction, you remember your reusable bags, and you always compost your scraps. But some of the biggest climate impacts of the building you live or work in? They were locked in the day it was built — in the concrete, the steel, the glass. And that matters, because the built environment accounts for roughly 42% of global emissions.This week on Everybody in the Pool, Molly sits down with Ben Stapleton, the CEO at the U.S. Green Building Council of California, to talk about what it actually takes to make our buildings work for the climate instead of against it. Ben has spent over 20 years at the intersection of sustainability, real estate, and innovation, and he's got a refreshingly practical outlook: the solutions exist, the business case is there, and the work is already happening, even when the federal government is pulling back.We talk about:Why buildings — not cars — are the biggest source of carbon emissions, and what that means for climate strategyThe difference between operating carbon and embodied carbon, and why that means we need two different performance standards for buildingsHow building performance standards work and why California is building a statewide framework to get there by 2030How to get developers to root for performance standards: sell them on lower energy costs, lower insurance premiums, and higher resale valuesWhat rebuilding after the LA fires could look like if we get it right, and why waiving the all-electric requirement was a missed opportunityUSGBC California's Net Zero Accelerator and the startup trends Ben is tracking in green building techLinks:U.S. Green Building Council of California: https://usgbc-ca.org/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2zSubscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show (and support future field trips): https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Trillions of dollars worth of goods move around the planet every year, and a shocking amount is lost, spoiled, or discarded. That wasted food, medicine, and equipment isn't just a business problem; it's a massive, underappreciated climate problem.This week on Everybody in the Pool, Molly talks with Krenar Komoni, CEO and founder of Tive, a supply chain visibility company that helps businesses track and monitor shipments in real time. What started as a GPS tracker for his father-in-law's trucking company has grown into one of the fastest-growing companies in supply chain tech. Tive's small-but-mighty trackers don't just follow a shipment's location — they also monitor temperature, light, and shock along the way, helping businesses intervene before a load of strawberries (or a shipment of vaccines) becomes a very expensive, very wasteful problem.We talk about:Why real-time shipment visibility is a key ingredient in creating a greener supply chainHow temperature monitoring can save hundreds of thousands of dollars of food and medicine from going to wasteWhat "permanent disruption" and climate change means for global supply chainsHow route data is helping companies find faster, more fuel-efficient paths they didn't know existedTive's commitment to sustainability in its own products, including lithium-free trackers and a tracker recycling programWhy AI agents will be hungry for real-time supply chain data, and what that could unlock for global efficiencyKrenar's 10-year vision: tracking 5-10% of all global shipments (and why that would be a very big deal)Links:Tive: https://www.tive.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2zSubscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

If you notice trees looking greener near a volcano, it's a good idea to get out of there. The extra green is because volcanic activity is ramping up, releasing more carbon dioxide which plants love. But once the volcano really gets going, those plants turn brown because of the harmful sulphur dioxide and intense heat. So, greener trees can be an early warning sign that the volcano might wake up soon. Basically, if the greenery starts to pop, it might be time to drop! Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, the New York City Council discussed curbing youth social media usage with a series of bills. WFUV's Xenia Gonikberg explains how they could impact young people. New York State legislators have extended their budget deadline due to ongoing disagreements. One of the main disputes surrounds Governor Hochul's proposal to backtrack some of the state's commitments towards becoming more eco-friendly. Hochul says inflation and other factors are making it harder to act on climate change. But environmental and legal experts disagree. WFUV's Jordan Donegan tells us why. New Yorkers can make New York City greener by planting a tree for free. It's part of an initiative by a local non-profit to increase New York City's tree population and the benefits they provide. WFUV's Sienna Reinders tells us how it works. Host/Producer: Alexandra Pfau Editor: Tess Novotny Reporter: Jordan Donegan Reporter: Xenia Gonikberg Reporter: Sienna Reinders

In episode five of the Meet the Mancunian podcast, host Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe speaks with Charlie Baker, founder of Your Home Better, about making existing homes greener, warmer and healthier through retrofit. Charlie shares how becoming aparent and a belief in creating a future shaped his purpose,and explains why improving current housing can avoid major construction emissions.  He outlines retrofit measures such as insulating floors, walls and roofs, upgrading ventilation and windows, adding solar PV and using heat pumps to reach zero-carbon operation, while tackling mould, damp and fuel poverty. Charlie discusses impact through award-winning home tours, challenges of recruiting diverse construction workforce, myths about cost and heat pumps, and future plans including low-cost finance, neighbourhood-scale solar and a mobile retrofit demonstrator for schools. Did you know:  ·     Retrofit refers to any improvement work on an existing building to improve its energy efficiency, making them easier to heat, able to retain that heat for longer, and replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.·     Many UK homes are not purpose-built, heat leaks out of windows, doors and uninsulated walls, making the heating system work harder and costing more.·     The greenest building is one that already exists Key resource: Your Home Better Time stamps of key moments in the podcast episode &transcript:(01:00) Meet Charlie Baker(03:45) Why retrofit matters(10:26) Impact and challenges(15:17) Scaling the mission(19:30) Passive cooling lessons(21:22) Retrofit myths busted(25:14) Manchester values (28:51) Heroes wisdom

In a special Contacts Coaching podcast episode, Stevenson alumna Danielle Koval—Director of Compliance for Financial Aid and revenue sharing at the University of Oklahoma—shares her path from being a swimmer and water polo player at Stevenson to swimming at Fresno State, working in student-athlete academic services, moving to UNLV, and then joining OU after taking a financial aid role just before COVID. She compares working environments across Fresno State, UNLV, and a Power Four brand like Oklahoma, emphasizing the scale of budgets, the weight of a global brand, and the constant pace of compliance changes driven by lawsuits and reactive policy shifts. The conversation explains how college athletics finances work, why most sports operate at a loss, and how football revenue and attendance underwrite broader departmental resources. Koval details how athletic scholarships and financial aid function across headcount and equivalency sports, why FAFSA and campus/college-level scholarships matter, and how tuition waivers and programs like the Western Undergraduate Exchange reduce costs. She breaks down the shift from NCAA scholarship limits to roster caps under the new landscape, including how schools decide whether to fully fund expanded rosters and how new scholarships can count against the revenue-sharing cap. The episode also covers OU's revenue-sharing approach (six sports), Title IX defensibility pressures, preferred walk-on dynamics under roster caps, the increased role of agents in everyday issues, and how contracts are renegotiated annually amid early signing day and the transfer portal. Koval discusses the challenges of paying athletes while preparing them for life after sports, including OU's financial literacy programming, and closes with a personal reflection on changing her mindset from perfectionism to giving herself grace as circumstances shift.00:00 Welcome & Meet Danielle Koval (OU Compliance + Financial Aid/Rev Share)00:33 Danielle's Athlete-to-Administrator Journey: Fresno State → UNLV → Oklahoma05:31 Leveling Up: What Changes from Mid-Major to Power Program?08:34 The OU Brand & Culture of Excellence Across Sports11:23 Money Talks: Football Revenue, Facilities, and Funding Other Sports12:51 Is College Athletics Sustainable?

Send a textWhat happens when a passing reference in graduate school turns into a decades-long archival investigation?In this episode, classicist Michele Ronnick shares the remarkable scholarly detective story that led her to recover the life and legacy of William Sanders Scarborough, a formerly enslaved scholar who became one of the most important Black classicists in American history.Beginning during the intellectual debates surrounding Black Athena, Dr. Ronnick questioned why Black participation in classical studies seemed largely absent from academic narratives. That question launched an international archival search involving rare books, unpublished manuscripts, institutional collections, and forgotten correspondence.Her work ultimately resulted in the recovery and publication of Scarborough's autobiography and renewed recognition of his groundbreaking 1881 Greek textbook—considered the first foreign-language textbook authored by a person of African descent.The conversation expands beyond Scarborough to illuminate a broader intellectual network of underrecognized Black classical scholars connected through institutions like Howard University and the AME Church. Along the way, we explore archival discovery, academic exclusion, historical erasure, and the ongoing importance of student research in preserving overlooked histories.Episode Timeline00:00 Why Classics Mattered 00:24 Graduate School Origins 02:02 Black Athena Era Questions 02:53 Finding Scarborough 05:40 Chasing Lost Archives 09:24 Autobiography Breakthrough 12:04 Beyond Scarborough's Network 18:46 Calhoun Quote and Historical Irony 23:37 Teaching and Legacy 27:07 Building the Photo Installation 28:08 Hunting Flia Campbell 29:33 Archive Breakthrough Photo 31:12 Expanding the Scholar List 32:19 Pinkney Warren Russell Evidence 34:43 Greener and Scarborough Letters 40:22 George Lightfoot at Howard 45:50 Inspiring New ResearchersAbout the GuestDr. Michele Valerie Ronnick is Distinguished Service Professor Emerita of Classics at Wayne State University and a leading scholar in recovering the history of Black classicists in the United States.

Humankind has the technology to go to space. Space architect Ariel Ekblaw says the bottleneck now is real estate: getting larger volumes of space stations in orbit. Her company is working on the equivalent of giant, magnetic space Legos—hexagons that could self-assemble in space into livable, workable structures. This episode, host Regina G. Barber talks to her about this space architecture and why she says that the goal isn't to abandon Earth–but to off-world industries like agriculture and manufacturing in order to build a better Earth.If you liked this episode, check out our Space Camp series.Interested in more space tech episodes?
