Understanding how our daily moves impact the environment - that's where the real power lies. From the products we bring into our lives to how we choose to get around, every single choice we make has a direct effect on our planet.   Dialing in to make more conscious decisions, whether that's cutting way back on waste, conserving precious energy, or actively supporting eco-revolutionaries making positive waves - that's how we each unleash our power to contribute to environmental health in a major way.   In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Graham Hill as he shares insights and expertise on environmental sustainability.

Graham is the founder and CEO of The Carbonauts, who help Fortune 1000 companies build climate-literate, sustainability-enthusiastic cultures via tools such as live, interactive sustainability workshops. He has worked in the environmental field for over 22 years, having founded TreeHugger, which was the most trafficked green site, with billions of page views, he worked on the topic of small living (architecture, possessions, behavior) under LifeEdited, and designed an iconic New York souvenir that has been a best seller at MOMA for over 15 years. He is one of Fast Company's "100 Most Creative People in Business" and featured on the covers of Inc. and Dwell Magazines, is a successful serial entrepreneur and sought-after speaker known for his ability to eloquently explain how we can all create a simpler, wealthier, greener, and happier planet. He is also a seasoned presenter having spoken at conferences around the world, including two main-stage TED Talks that have received 11M+ views.

In this episode of Planet A Dan Jørgensen talks to Graham Hill who is a dedicated climate change advocate and sustainability pioneer.Graham Hill explains how he works to change the mindset on climate change within a corporation, what it takes to change a culture and how to reduce your carbon footprint by following “The Big Six”.In the discussion Hill quotes the legendary management consultant and writer Peter Drucker stating that “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”, which is a key point in the talk.Graham Hill is probably best known for shaping platforms like TreeHugger.com and LifeEdited as well as GreenRoots and the more recent Carbonauts. Through these platforms, he has worked professionally with what it takes to encourage people to adopt sustainable practices and conscious living for more than two decades. He has been ranked among the "100 Most Creative People in Business" by Fast Company.

If you're trying to do the right thing as a consumer to reduce your carbon footprint, Carbonauts may be a lesson you want to explore. On this episode of Better Worlds, Host Julian Guderley asked Graham Hill, co-founder of Carbonauts, about the big six things he says can be done individually to reduce your own personal carbon footprint, in addition to carbon offsets. What percentage of the living population would have to adopt these suggestions to lower their footprint to reach a tipping point, to create an inverse climate crisis. Personal change is just as important as corporate and government solutions, to create the tipping point, or the flipping point - the point in which the global climate will begin to flip, and then rapid change will come with that movement. Graham offers Carbonaut sessions for individuals who want to take personal responsibility for the climate crisis and ensure they are making their contributions to reach that tipping point in the relatively short amount of time we have to reach the flipping point from 5 percent to 25 percent. Before COVID spawned a whole generation of Van LIfe digital stories, Graham, also CEO of LifeEdited, provide through his love of architecture that a person or two can design and live in a 350 or 420 square foot micro apartment, transforming rooms for multiple functions with various furniture hacks such as Murphy beds over a couch, folding tables with leaves and stacking chairs, for example. For 12 years he has designed space-efficient buildings, products and lifestyles to yield more money, health and happiness with less stuff, space and energy. Check out LifeEdited for more.

In this "Inspiring TED Talks Rewind" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) explores Graham Hill's 2011 TED Talk, "Less Stuff, More Happiness" (Originally aired March 8, 2021). See the video here: https://youtu.be/L8YJtvHGeUU. Video Overview: "Writer and designer Graham Hill asks: Can having less stuff, in less room, lead to more happiness? He makes the case for taking up less space, and lays out three rules for editing your life." Graham Hill is the founder of LifeEdited, dedicated to helping people design their lives for more happiness with less stuff. When he started the company in 2010, it brought the ideas of his previous project, the eco-blog and vlog TreeHugger.com, into design and architecture. (The TreeHugger team joined the Discovery Communications network as a part of their Planet Green initiative, and Hill now makes appearances on the green-oriented cable channel.) Before Treehugger, Hill studied architecture and design (his side business is making those cool ceramic Greek coffee cups). His other company, ExceptionLab, is devoted to creating sustainable prototypes -- think lamps made from recycled blinds and ultra-mod planters that are also air filters.

Graham Hill has a message for you: that big ol’ house of yours—and all the stuff in it—isn’t making you (or the environment) happy. His words are resonating. Graham’s two TED Talks on low-impact living and #minimalism have been viewed over 7 million times.   A successful entrepreneur, Graham co-founded, ran and sold both SiteWerks and TreeHugger.com. Today he runs LifeEdited, which is dedicated to helping people design their lives for more happiness with less stuff.    At LifeEdited, Graham marries his passion for environmentalism with his experience in architecture and design to create low-footprint, high-fulfillment homes. These spaces are not just smaller, but incredibly functional and visually pleasing. LifeEdited demonstrates that you can live quite well and in a elegantly-designed environment while freeing up space, time and energy to live a better life.    Because less is not just more. It’s also beautiful.      See his 1,000 sq ft house in Maui: http://lifeedited.com/lifeedited-maui-in-the-new-york-times/ and his 350 sq ft apartment in NYC:  http://lifeedited.com/lifeedited-2/    More about Paul aqui: http://paulollinger.com

Graham Hill is one of the world’s most modern, forward-thinking environmentalists. His LifeEdited movement has inspired innovative small space living across New York City (and the rest of the world). Graham is also known for starting Treehugger.com, introducing an iconic reusable ceramic cup to New Yorkers and collaborating on a Red Dot Award winning Thin Bike. Forgive me, this interview spans Melbourne to Maui so the recording is not to our usual standard, but the content definitely is. As promised here are a few links to Graham’s talks, together with his must-read The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi featuring 21 Rules of Life written in 1645 AD.

What started as a tiny apartment experiment in 2009 turned into the internet explosion that is now TreeHugger and LifeEdited. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you have no doubt been impressed and influenced by the ideas, architecture, products and tips from this week’s guest. Spurred on by the same economic and environmental issues as the tiny house movement has been, the concepts of living simply have gained impressive traction in the mainstream press, leaving product manufacturers, architects, and builders; stunned and scrambling to catch up. Even if you can afford a 10,000 square foot mansion with a view, should you? Life is about so much more than what we have and Graham Hill embodies this concept in everything he does. You will truly miss out if you don’t tune in to this rare interview with a true King of All Things Edited. So stop what you’re doing, listen in; and be inspired by his vision, his story, his travels, and his energy. http://lifeedited.com/ https://www.treehugger.com/

The easiest way to go green is to just start by going smaller. Just realize, that particularly in the US there's this real phenomenon. We've over the last 60 years supersized ourselves in this crazy way. 1000 square feet was the average housing size back in the 50's. Now it's like 2700 with smaller families. We have three times the space per person that we used to. – Graham HillGraham hails from the small town of Sutton, Quebec, Canada. He has a Bachelor of Architecture with distinction from Carleton University in Ottawa and did advanced studies in Industrial Design at E.C.I.A.D, Vancouver. He founded TreeHugger in 2004 with the goal of driving sustainability mainstream. Graham is also the CEO of LifeEdited, a project devoted to living well with less.

I met Graham back in the nineties when he ran a web design firm in Seattle. He’s always been on the emerging edge of culture and technology and is one of those people that has an integral mind whether or not they ever use the vocabulary or reference the maps. He has a developmental view and doesn't see modernity as the enemy, necessarily, but as the foundation upon which a thriving postmodern culture can be built. He founded the popular Treehugger.com and is now focusing his attention on LifeEdited, which designed and built this amazing apartment in Brooklyn — just 420 square feet in size — that is an example of how we can use smart design to cut down on energy, space and resources and still create more health and happiness in our lives. Graham is a pragmatist. His TED talk Why I'm a Weekday Vegetarian, demonstrates an integral way of leading the culture forward through a change that needs to happen. Everyone on the planet can't eat meat three times a day, but “people don't want to have their last hamburger.” He advocates important incremental changes using education and the power of good design. Graham had just arrived to his rustic cabin in Maui when Jeff reached him last winter to talk about the view from the front lines. “America has super sized itself over the last sixty years,” he says. “We have about three times the space per person of any other Western country, and it gives us giant environmental footprints. We're routinely living beyond our means and racking up tons of debt. “We have a twenty-two billion dollar personal storage industry just to keep all the stuff we collect. It would all make some sense if we were happier, but we're not.” There is a name for this uniquely modern affliction: affluenza, and Graham knows it well. When he wrote an op-ed in the NYTimes called Living With Less, A Lot Less, critics pointed out that downsizing advice from a millionaire was hardly compelling when much of the world was still trying to scrape up enough calories to feed their families. But from an integral perspective, where we see all the altitudes of development online in the world at any given time, of course we're privileged to be solving the problems of modernity, that's what you do in postmodernity. Graham points out that in the modern age we have become so efficient at making things that hoarding doesn't make sense anymore, though it may have at one time. “The modern mindset is a growth mindset,” Jeff reminds us, “whereas the orienting economic principle of postmodernity is sustainability.” LifeEdited is helping with that shift by building housing for singles and families that are only two-hundred to one thousand square feet, respectively, and making these units function like much larger spaces. Communal resources will include spare bedrooms that are bookable online (because you don't always need that guest room, do you?), a “product library” for things that you may need occasionally but don't make sense to own, communal space like professional kitchens, roof decks, fitness areas and a great room for parties and gatherings. Who needs to heat and cool a giant room in their home that gets used a few times a year? “Most design is for things that happen very rarely,” Graham explains, “like a four wheel drive truck, for instance. We're redesigning the experience of living for what it's like ninety percent of the time. Then you can share the things that everyone only needs once in a while.” LifeEdited are creating examples of smart communities for the future, focused in dense areas. Half of us live in cities now and that number is going up. The future is in cities, and that's where the big changes need to happen. In this lifestyle, where your home becomes your office and the city becomes your living room, it's an antidote to the separation and alienation of modernity in which the pendulum has swung far in favor of autonomy. Graham wonders if underneath our modern suburban lifestyles is a fear of intimacy. The modern critique: how does the economy work when we are consuming so much less? “We're smart enough to figure that out in the time it's going to take for these changes to take effect,” Graham says.

Well, we managed to fit an amazing amount of fun into one hour! Green Diva Lisa participated from Lake Placid. Green Diva Correspondent Nomi Lyonns called in from an island on the West Coast of Canada. And Graham Hill called in to talk about Treehugger.com AND his new awesome project LifeEdited.com - we only disconnected him from our board once . . . ugh! He was a gracious guest and offered some really great ideas and information.
