Cet épisode est un extrait de l'épisode 82 de Follow Me avec Benjamin de Molliens. Retrouvez la version intégrale sur votre plateforme d'écoute de podcasts favorite : Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Deezer

Chaque jour, l'écho de notre impact sur l'environnement résonne plus fort dans les médias. En même temps, les climatosceptiques tentent de nous convaincre que le changement climatique n'est pas de notre fait. Mon invité du jour n'est pas de cet avis. Éco-aventurier, il lutte contre la pollution plastique et mise sur le zéro déchet dans son mode de vie. C'est ce qu'il partage au quotidien sur ses réseaux sociaux et aujourd'hui, je suis heureux de l'accueillir sur Follow Me. Mon invité est Benjamin de Molliens. Dès son plus jeune âge, son père lui donne le goût du voyage à travers des aventures low-tech qu'ils partageaient en famille dans son van... De 2011 à 2017, Benjamin a enrichi son expérience aux quatre coins du globe, de la Chine à San Francisco, avant de poser ses valises à Marseille. C'est au cours de ces voyages qu'il a été témoin des effets dévastateurs de la pollution plastique, le motivant à lancer Plastic Odyssey, un projet ambitieux pour nettoyer nos océans. Puis est venue l'initiative Expédition Zéro, qui promeut un mode de vie respectueux de l'environnement à travers des aventures en plein air et des défis sur les réseaux sociaux. Peut-être avez-vous déjà vu passer les hashtags #nettoietonkm, #cleanyourdata, ou #myclimatepose ? Avec près de 38 000 abonnés sur Instagram, 24 000 sur Facebook, et 36 000 sur LinkedIn, Benjamin ne se contente pas de prêcher pour la conversion écologique, il incarne ses principes au quotidien : Zéro équipement neuf, Zéro déchet, et Zéro empreinte carbone. Ses récits d'aventures, empreintes de respect pour notre environnement, inspirent une nouvelle génération désireuse de faire la différence. Dans cet épisode spécial, Benjamin nous emmène dans les coulisses de sa carrière initiale dans le digital, qui a éveillé sa conscience écologique. Il nous dévoile les dessous de Plastic Odyssey et Expédition Zéro, ses premiers pas dans le monde de l'influence positive. Il nous confie aussi comment il navigue sur les réseaux sociaux pour promouvoir sa noble cause, tout en faisant face aux défis de la communication sur l'écologie. Et bien sûr, nous parlerons de la manière dont il parvient à allier monétisation et partenariats sans compromettre ses valeurs, ainsi que de ses projets futurs. -------

Mercado Discusses Objective Zero Suicide Prevention App on Credit HourVERMILLION, S.D. – Major Chris Mercado, ’04, founder of Objective Zero, discussed his military service and suicide prevention efforts on the podcast Credit Hour. “What we’re doing with Objective Zero is crowdsourcing peer support,” said Mercado. “The idea is that we’re trying to get ahead of those downward spirals into suicide by providing peer support as a pre-crisis service.”Objective Zero was established in 2015. It released a mobile app in December of 2017 that instantly connects veterans-in-need to a community of fellow veterans, current service members and concerned citizens.Mercado mentioned the recent spike in suicide rates as an alarming trend amongst the military. “Early indications are that in 2020, suicide rates in the military are up over 2019 by 20 percent. In the U.S. army, suicide rates are up over 30 percent,” said Mercado. “It’s very concerning.”In 2017, Mercado was named the Military Times Service Member of the Year for the U.S. Army in recognition for founding Objective Zero, a suicide prevention platform. He has served five tours overseas, three during the surges in Iraq and Afghanistan, and earned three Bronze Star Medals, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, the Joint Service Achievement Medal, 10 Army Achievement Medals and the NATO Medal.Credit Hour is the University of South Dakota’s podcast highlighting the achievement, research and scholarship of its staff, students, alumni and faculty.

When Army Ranger Maj. Chris Mercado spoke with his former combat buddy in 2014, he discovered that his friend, a veteran with a distinguished service record, was suffering from the post-service trauma and mental anguish that plagues so many of our nation’s veterans and active-duty military personnel — his friend was contemplating self-harm. A long, caring conversation saved his friend’s life and inspired a project that now has the capacity to save many others. Together with several friends, Chris and Betsey Mercado have created Objective Zero, a mobile app aimed at preventing military and veteran suicides by making a network of supportive professionals and volunteers available at the touch of a button. Today the network includes trained “ambassadors” in all 50 states and 26 countries, and lives are being saved. Objective Zero has been so innovative, and so effective, that it has been widely praised by the media. The Army Times named Chris “Soldier of the Year” in 2017, and Fast Company tapped him as one of the “Most Creative People in Business” in 2018. Chris and Betsey reminded us that situations like the COVID-19 pandemic have only heightened the need for services like Objective Zero. While at-risk individuals shelter-in-place, their social interactions are often diminished, and their sense of belonging and connectedness can be undermined. Especially for veterans transitioning out of uniformed service, where they previously took part in something so self-evidently larger than themselves, the isolation and detachment caused by quarantine can be overwhelming. In fact, usage of the Objective Zero app has never been higher, including use by many former military doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who are on the front lines of the pandemic. To learn more about Objective Zero and Chris’ and Betsey’s mission, visit www.objectivezero.org. You’ll find links to donate and to sign up for training as a suicide prevention “ambassador,” and you’ll find lots of additional media coverage.

Justin & Christopher Launch the very first episode of the Objective Zero Foundation Podcast!! We talk about The Who, what, where, and why; and get down to brass tacks on Veteran and service member suicide.

The Department of Veterans Affairs said it's formed a new partnership with the Objective Zero Foundation as part of its campaign to end veteran suicide. Objective Zero is a nonprofit that focuses on using technology to connect vets who are in crisis with other veterans through voice, video and text chats. Betsy Mercado is the group's co-founder and executive director. She talked with Federal News Network's Jared Serbu about the new partnership. Hear more on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

With today's technology and upcoming generation--it is more than needed. This will help the Veteran and Service Member World in order to help a brother/sister at a moment's notice. Not only that, it will eventually be used to help reach-out to a fellow vets' loved ones to get them the help the more than need and deserve. Please like this podcast, share the podcast, go over the OZ links and do the same for those. If you can donate it would greatly be appreciated. If you cannot, it's OKAY. A share and spreading the word goes way further than you would believe.    **LINKS TO CHECK OUT** Objective Zero   The Objective Zero Website: www.objectivezero.org   Kickstarter Campaign Page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/670331900/objective-zero-app-fighting-veteran-military-suici?ref=user_menu   Objective Zero Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/objectivezeroapp/  Follow Objective Zero On Twitter: @ZeroVetSuicides
