We've finally gone through everything there is to cover for both the history and technology that Iceland is built on. In this final episode, we have to explore the Iceland of today. Because Iceland took care of some of the most significant climate issues decades ago, it's fascinating to see the next objectives, once the main ones are taken care of. Watching Iceland set ambitious climate and environmental goals, only to continue adjusting for more ambitious ones and encourage other nations to do the same is simply inspiring. This is why the world has to look to Iceland for guidance in the coming decades. They've succeeded once, and in the intervening decades, they have only expanded their environmental conscious to further support the health of our planet. I hope you enjoy this final episode of this series, and you come away feeling inspired and empowered by the country of Iceland.

If you are someone who cares about climate change but you're tired of hearing about how the world is going to explode in a few short years if we don't do something soon (What does that even mean?), then this podcast is for you. We stay away from divisive politics and meaningless numbers with no context, and instead, I interview climate action leaders implementing revolutionary ideas that are helping to reduce our impact on the world around us.

If you are interested in getting involved, please use any of the contacts or social media listed below, and look into the links below for actionable things you can do right now.Who am I?My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I've noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can do for climate change is talk about it.” so let's talk about it. Let's learn about solar energy and battery storage, let's dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let's learn and let's discuss. We aren't doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let's get to work.Find more information about me and the show at our website - innovatingabrightfuture.comGet involved:Become a member of the Alberta Youth Leaders for Environmental EducationTake a step in the right direction with Count Us InLearn more about climate change + climate action with TED CountdownSocialsInstagram - https://instagram.com/innovatingabrightfuture?igshid=tq6tfg2l0s7Twitter - Twitter.com/ainnovatingSupport the ShowPatreon - patreon.com/innovatingabrightfutureJoin the Team!Email innovatingabrightfuture@gmail.com Music:Tech Talk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4464-tech-talk License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Episode number 145. In this episode I talk with Tom Deakins about his ‘race’ at the Fire and Ice 250K adventure race. We talk about everything involved in this race. I learned a ton. Tom is being coached by my good friend Rebecca McKee. -Imagine this. Last night you got about three hours of sleep because the tent you were in was so loud due to the wind howling and to such a degree that the tent was blowing over and hitting you in the face nearly all night. You wake up and get going and all you can see is lava fields covered with sharp rigid rocks. No one is around you for miles. The air is dry. The wind is blowing in your face at 40mph and gusting up to 60mph. The temperature is around 20 degrees Fahrenheit. You’re wearing three layers of clothes, a buff and a beanie, a pair of running shoes and carrying a twenty-six pound backpack. Your left shoulder is sore from the previous three days of running. But nevertheless here you are at your first river crossing. Out in front of you, you see a glacial river that is nearly 100 meters across and this is the first of two rivers you must forge and continue running. You are currently at the 10 kilometer mark and you have 60 kilometers remaining to run after this river crossing. And you know that in 20 more kilometers you have another river crossing that is a touch shallower than this river that nearly comes to your knees. It is at this point you decide you have to keep your shoes on because you don’t know if there are rocks on the bottom of the river bed that can cut your feet. As you get into the water you can feel the ice cold water beginning to fill your shoes, the water then hits your shins. The thought that you are cold would be an understatement. After this crossing you gather your bearings, what’s left of them, and then continue on down the path. Later you cross the second river and it was nearly as joyful to cross as the first. It is as this point; you consider what makes you really want to put yourself through this in the first place. The reason for you is vivid in your mind. This is the story of Tom Deakins, whom I interviewed for the adventure race known as Iceland’s toughest foot race, the Fire and Ice 250km Ultra.-Enjoy the show.
