On this episode of Afterhocks TV, hosts Matt and Chris dive deep into the legendary career of Geezer Butler, the iconic bassist best known for his work with Black Sabbath. They focus particularly on his 1995 debut album with his solo project GZR, Plastic Planet. The album, which blends heavy metal with industrial and electronic elements, is often regarded as an underrated gem of the 90s. Matt and Chris explore the unique lineup of the band at the time, which included ex-Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell, whose distinct voice added a powerful dimension to the album's sound. Alongside them was the incredibly talented drummer Deen Castronovo, who would later go on to play in bands like Journey and Bad English, but here demonstrates his hard-hitting, dynamic style. The episode delves into the creative process behind Plastic Planet, which was shaped by the collaboration of these incredible musicians and Geezer Butler's own vision. The album's blend of heavy riffs, industrial noise, and darker lyrical themes stands in stark contrast to much of the music being produced in the mid-90s, making it an important and often overlooked release for metal fans. Matt and Chris discuss how Plastic Planet captures a different side of Geezer Butler, one that moves away from the traditional Black Sabbath sound and embraces a more modern, experimental approach. They highlight standout tracks, the album's atmosphere, and the innovative production choices that helped the album resonate within the metal community—despite not receiving mainstream attention. Whether you're a longtime Black Sabbath fan or a newer listener to Butler's solo work, this episode is a great deep dive into a forgotten classic that has only grown in significance over time. *NOTE: Everything said here, and on every episode of all of our shows are 100% the opinions of the hosts.

INTRODUCTIONIf you've ever asked yourself any of the following three questions, then this episode is for you!How can you eliminate toxicity and waste from your facilities and products?How can you uncover value and opportunities in the threats and challenges you face, from material extraction and processing to disposal?What do you still need to learn to truly embrace a shift toward a more circular economy?We're diving into these questions with my guest, Paul Foulkes-Arellano, co-author of the book Materials & Sustainability: Building A Circular Future.

Double Espresso With Dee: Inspiring Stories of Change and Personal Growth
I absolutely love Sian Sutherland! In this episode I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with serial Second Curver, the incredible Sian Sutherland, co-mastermind behind A Plastic Planet and PlasticFree. You are going to get some vital types for embracing what you don't know and how this can be your new superpower. Sian has been second curving since her early twenties, guided by her instinct, her passions and applying ‘radical naivety' and the spirit of why not to all her ventures. She has jumped in fearlessly since her first venture launching a restaurant, which won a Michelin-star restaurant within a year, without any prior experience and subsequently creating Mio, a globally successful skincare brand despite having no industry background. Her unyielding belief that not knowing something can be a superpower was simply awe-inspiring. "I think that radical naivety of not treading the traditional path and embracing the fact that you don't know things is really, really empowering." We also touched upon the topic of retirement. She says “I don't want to retire, and there is something about having to earn that gives you that bit of grit.” She embraces the need to continuously earn and stay driven, always open to the next second curve. She also talks about the vital importance of grit. Unlike those who can afford to take risks without consequences, Sian sees every endeavour as a make-or-break situation. Sian is a second curving powerhouse now on her next curve with an unwavering commitment to making a positive impact with A Plastic Planet. She sees businesses as powerful agents of change in creating a sustainable future. Her belief in the potential of collaboration and her rallying cry for all of us to step up and protect our planet left me feeling inspired and motivated and I am sure it will too for you.

INTRODUCTIONIf you have been in contact with single-use plastic items, and even use some of them along your value chain, this episode is for you!Today's textbook case is none other than the single-use plastic legislation! Boring? Not at all if you sharpen your pencils well, now that the schools go back after summer. Let's come back together with sensitive rules and critical thinking to be able to read between the lines!How will we do that in this episode? Be ready to learn,first, about the important role of legislation countering the inaction triangle,secondly, about the worldwide context of this single-use plastic legislation,and finally, about the 3 reasons why you shouldn't make single-use plastic bans your new hobby horse… with a Canadian regulation as an exemplifying case study. The 3 points are:What are we talking about?Where does it happen?What if we shift the conversation to solutions?The ice on the cake? As a revision sheet, you will have some past referral episodes and a promo code for our “Develop Circular Packaging Solutions” online training… that might be helpful to set off decision processes to address those kinds of legislation and take the lead!

On this episode, Nate is joined by Sian Sutherland, a leader in the movement towards reducing the overconsumption of plastic and its waste. The modern era is dependent on fossil fuels for many reasons - one of the most covertly ubiquitous ones being plastic. Everyday we are surrounded by it - encasing our food, woven in the threads of our clothes, and even permeating into the water that we drink. How do we begin to break off this addiction to the convenience and utility of plastics? How does this connect to the larger implications of a society embedded in a linear, consumption-based system dependent on growth? What role can industry, governments, and individuals each play in creating structural shifts to reduce our reliance on plastic - and ultimately return to a slower, more circular way of life? About Sian Sutherland Sian Sutherland is Co-founder of A Plastic Planet, one of the most recognised and respected organizations tackling the plastic crisis. More recently, she also co-founded PlasticFree, the first materials and systems solutions platform, empowering the 160m global creatives to design waste out at the source. Sian was awarded the Female Marketer of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, and British Inventor of the Year. In 2023 at the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations (INC2), in partnership with Plastic Soup Foundation, A Plastic Planet launched the Plastic Health Council, bringing expert scientists to the negotiating process with the irrefutable proof of plastic chemicals impact on human health. Passionately pro-business and solutions focused, Sian believes the plastic crisis gives mankind a rare gateway to change both materials and systems to create a different future for next generations.

In the 2nd part of the conversation with Sian Sutherland, co-founder of A Plastic Planet and PlasticFree.com, Sian tells Catherine Weetman why, instead of seeing a miserable picture of the future, we can reinvent a better, brighter future. As Sian says, by "fixing the plastic crisis, we will fix so much else" A Plastic Planet is one of the most recognised and respected organisations tackling the plastic crisis and PlasticFree, the first materials and systems solutions platform, empowering global creatives to design waste out at source. Sian Sutherland, an award-winning serial entrepreneur across several industries, wants to ignite social change, and. At the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations (INC2), this year, Sian and A Plastic Planet partnered with the Plastic Soup to launch the Plastic Health Council. This brings expert scientists to the UN Plastics Treaty negotiating process with the irrefutable proof of plastic chemicals impact on human health. In the 21st century, we find plastic in almost every part of our lives – but that doesn't mean it's the best, or only solution. Many of those people who resist the idea of a move away from plastics tell us that it's a fantastic material, that it enables us to create a wide range of products to solve all kinds of challenges. On LinkedIn, you can see people – mostly with roles that depend on the continued use of plastics – cherry-picking examples of plastics used in medical and safety products, such as syringes, PPE, safety glasses, life jackets and so on. But those examples don't mean that plastics are necessarily safe in use, or at the end of use. Nor do they mean that we should go along with the continued expansion of single-use plastics. The plastics industry spends millions on promote plastic as the perfect material for thousands of products, being cheap, lightweight, clean, and convenient. But we're becoming more aware of serious downsides, for our health, and for the health of our living planet. Who says we can't find better ways to design products, packaging and systems to meet the needs of people, planet and prosperity? Sian is passionately pro-business and solutions focused, and believes the plastic crisis gives us all a way in to changing both materials and systems to create a different future for next generations. In the first part, which went out in the last episode, 107, we discussed the new PlasticFree.com solutions platform for creatives, showcasing plastic-free materials and products, such as the Degenerative sneaker. We moved onto greenwash, and why Sian thinks the word 'recyclable' should be banned. Then, we explored the importance of understanding chemistry, especially in helping designers and material technologists get clear on the good and bad aspects of chemical processes - and we discussed some of the very new scientific advances that are shining a light on the links between plastics and a wide range of serious health conditions. In this episode we discuss neuromarketing, some of the uses of microbeads and microcapsules that you might not know about, and why systems change is even more important than changing the materials. Sian tells us about the work of the Reuseable Packaging Coalition, founded by another podcast guest, Jo Chidley. And we ask why big companies are finding it so difficult to break away from those last-century systems - take, make, use, and dispose - and how those businesses risk becoming irrelevant, following in the footsteps of Kodak - disrupted by better solutions.
Being an "outdoorsy" person teaches you a lot along the way. In the mountains, we see the effects of climate change clearly before our eyes. Matthias' guest this time is the far-sighted entrepreneur, avid athlete, speedflyer and film maker Malcolm Wood. With documentaries like The Last Galciers or A Plastic Planet – which David Attenborough called the most important film of our time – the mountain advocate in the UN world environment programme has made it his mission to share his experiences with the world. Enjoy this heartfelt, inspiring and profound conversation.
Sian Sutherland, co-founder of A Plastic Planet, tells Catherine Weetman why there are compelling reasons to design plastic out of our lives, and how and PlasticFree.com helps us do that... Plastic is embedded in pretty much every part of our lives. The plastics industry promotes it as the perfect material for thousands of products, being cheap, lightweight, clean, and convenient. But is that really true? And are there better ways to design products, packaging and systems to meet the needs of people, planet and prosperity? I've been a long time admirer of Sian Sutherland and her work. Sian co-founded A Plastic Planet, one of the most recognised and respected organisations tackling the plastic crisis, and PlasticFree, the first materials and systems solutions platform, empowering global creatives to design waste out at source. Sian is passionate about igniting social change, and creating brands and businesses with soul, and is a serial entrepreneur with a varied background across industries. In 2023 at the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations (INC2), in partnership with Plastic Soup Foundation, A Plastic Planet launched the Plastic Health Council, bringing the expert scientists to the negotiating process with the irrefutable proof of plastic chemicals impact on human health. Sian is passionately pro-business and solutions focused, and believes the plastic crisis gives us all a way in to changing both materials and systems to create a different future for next generations. I particularly like the courageous way that Sian helps us unpack the key issues around plastics and is actively creating and powering up a range of solutions of plastic-free solutions. As Sian says, by "fixing the plastic crisis, we will fix so much else" I felt this was a really rich conversation. Sian and A Plastic Planet are involved in so many initiatives and I didn't want you to miss out on any of Sian's insights and ideas, so I've split the conversation into two episodes. In this episode we talk about plastic free.com, a new systems and solutions platform for creatives, including designers technologists marketers strategists - that has thousands of case studies and proof points for plastic free solutions. We cover greenwash, vegan leathers, why chemistry is now essential for designers and makers, plus recent science on plastics and health.
Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature | Bioneers Radio Series
After World War II, the U.S. government worked with industry to create a single-use, disposable consumer culture as a way to ensure ongoing market prosperity. Who benefited? Consumer product companies like Coca-Cola, and the fossil fuel industry, whose petrochemicals are at the source. The result? Plastic pollution is now found in virtually every living organism – including humans – and is one of the worst threats to ocean ecosystems. Now, a global resistance movement is rising to abolish petrochemical plastics and to shift to a zero-waste, circular economy. With: Anna Cummins, Deputy Director and Co-Founder of the Five Gyres Institute. Featuring Anna Cummins, Deputy Director and Co-Founder of the Five Gyres Institute. With more than 20 years experience in environmental non-profit work—including marine conservation, coastal watershed management, community relations, and bilingual and sustainability education—Anna is an expert in the field.

In a special live event held in partnership with The Conduit, we welcomed Sir David King, the former Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government and the Chairman of the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge; Sian Sutherland, the co-founder of A Plastic Planet, a global campaign aimed at reducing plastic pollution; and Ari Helgason, a climate technology investor who is passionate about finding and funding innovative solutions to the climate crisis. Their moderator was Pictet's Christoph Courth Head of Philanthropy Services at Pictet Wealth Management. They discuss how climate change impacts ecosystems and the species that rely on them and explore some of the innovative and ground-breaking solutions that are being developed to mitigate the effects of climate change and restore damaged ecosystems.
INTRODUCTIONHave you ever wondered what the world could look like by turning off the plastic tap? No, it is not about demonizing plastic, it is about finding what can make his work without undesirable impacts!And, believe me, Sian Sutherland, the co-founder of A Plastic Planet, has more than one trick up her sleeve to turn that into a very practical and appealing reality. In this episode, you will find out why and how businesses and creative designers can shift gears from plastic crisis to alternative solutions;how campaigns can be no-blame no-shame based, and action-oriented;and how innovative materials and packaging are a gateway to ignite broader system changes. The ice on the cake? Have you already heard about the freshly new PlasticFree platform co-founded by Sian? Actually, I waited to broadcast this episode to be able to refer to it. Now that it is put online, I can tell you that – likewise the passionate dynamic of this interview – you will find there: a mine of information such asaesthetic and trending materials database, scalable innovations fitting into regenerative cycles of nature,existing and inspiring case studies as well as the latest proof points and many optimistic stories,and, last but not least, collaboration opportunities.You better have a look at it!

Change Makers: Leadership, Good Business, Ideas and Innovation
Sian Sutherland is the co-founder of A Plastic Planet, the campaign group supporting one single goal: to ignite and inspire the world to turn off the plastic tap. It's a straight talking message that looks to reject the information and greenwashing around plastic, increasing the use of materials that nature can handle, and eliminating those it cant. Through a three-pronged framework to 'reduce, refill and replace', A Plastic Planet is a call to action to business, media and policy makers to pull the plug on production in an industry which, if it were a country, would be the world's fifth largest polluter. It's a story of a campaigner for whom the words 'why not' are not in her vocabulary and whose tip for life is: 'We have a duty to be joyful. We are the lucky ones.'
Conscious consumerism has grown exponentially in recent years, with shoppers expecting more transparency and less waste from the brands they choose to support. While shifting towards more sustainable business practices obviously has a positive impact on the environment, there are also a number of benefits for your brand, which you'll learn more about in today's episode! To help us explore this topic, we are joined by Alicia Lahey, Co-Founder and CEO of Humble Snacks, Canada's first organic potato chip packaged in 100% plastic-free, compostable bags. We discuss Alicia's experience in big food, why she and her husband made the shift to a more sustainable lifestyle, and why she didn't want to launch her own brand unless it came in better packaging, plus so much more.

To help bring more stories to more readers, many publishing companies are allowing books that are normally unavailable for copyright reasons to be read out loud and shared with others until December 31, 2022. The stories that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they're available! Today's story is shared with permission of Penguin Random House Publishing Company.When I was a little girl, I often read and reread the books we had in our home library, because we could never go to the library often enough to keep me supplied with new books. One I read over and over again was the fascinating story of Hollis, who discovers a curious shop that has moved into the new industrial park around the corner from her house. This shop sells dolls, but they are unlike any other dolls Hollis has ever seen. They seem almost alive! Here are the first three chapters of Is There Life on a Plastic Planet? written in 1975 by Mildred Ames. I hope you enjoy this thought-provoking book!Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.
Double Espresso With Dee: Inspiring Stories of Change and Personal Growth
One of the subjects that comes up time, and again is failure. In this short, I discuss failure with the epic and spectacular Sian Sutherland. She is a serial entrepreneur, having launched a branding agency, set up a restaurant that in short order had a Michelin star and built an innovative global skincare business, which was subsequently sold to the hut group a few years ago. Sian leaned into her calling and co-funded A Plastic Planet, a global campaign organization with a single goal to ignite and inspire the world to turn off the plastic tap for good.With Sian, we unpack the brilliance of failure, embracing what we don't know and being our own unique selves.

Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature | Bioneers Radio Series
After World War II, the U.S. government worked with industry to create a single-use, disposable consumer culture as a way to ensure ongoing market prosperity. Who benefited? Consumer product companies like Coca-Cola, and the fossil fuel industry, whose petrochemicals are at the source. The result? Plastic pollution is now found in virtually every living organism – including humans – and is one of the worst threats to ocean ecosystems. Now, a global resistance movement is rising to abolish petrochemical plastics and to shift to a zero-waste, circular economy. Featuring: Anna Cummins, Deputy Director and Co-Founder of the Five Gyres Institute. With more than 20 years experience in environmental non-profit work—including marine conservation, coastal watershed management, community relations, and bilingual and sustainability education—Anna is an expert in the field.

Roughly 20 Chinese provinces are enduring rolling electricity blackouts amid a coal and natural gas shortage. How the current energy crunch intersects with China's long-term climate commitments and the prospects for China's influence at the UN climate talks. Also, fast food could be even more unhealthy than we knew – laden with phthalates, chemicals that are linked to serious health problems and even early death. And greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production in the United States are on track to outpace domestic coal emissions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How do we mitigate it's use and fast? Find out on this important broadcast. It All Started with a Plastic Free Aisle... In early 2017, A Plastic Planet co-founder, Siân Sutherland launched the first award-winning campaign for A Plastic Free Aisle. A self-confessed plastic addict, who could stand by no longer once she became aware of what we are all collectively doing to our oceans, our land and ultimately to our own health. A Plastic Planet is now an army of like-minded passionate people, experts in all relevant fields, standing up for the public who want the choice to buy plastic free. Knowing the truth about the damage our addiction to plastic has caused, it is indefensible not to change our ways as quickly as possible. Not in 25 years, not even in 5; but now, today. 2017 was the year we all woke up to this disaster. Now we know, we cannot un-know. Their mission at A Plastic Planet is to keep up the pressure, help introduce plastic-free alternatives and champion those who are doing the right thing.
Double Espresso With Dee: Inspiring Stories of Change and Personal Growth
I am so beyond happy to welcome the legend - Sian Sutherland, a serial entrepreneur across many disciplines and sectors from advertising to Michelin-star restaurant, film production, and skincare startup. On top of all, her attention is now focused on the titanic problem of plastic. So she and her incredible co-founder launched the Plastic Planet. Sian shared with us the raw story of her beginnings. She was the first entrepreneur in her family and sort of a black sheep. Unlike her siblings, who had an academic future planned, she made her rocky road through life, starting with the first job at the age of seventeen. On the other side, she had an incredibly supportive family and total encouragement, which helped her become who she is today. We talk about the importance of failures and how they made us more empathetic, grounded, connected persons. So, Sian re-branded the term "failure" into "growth." We need to applaud people for trying, and if they fail, we have to applaud them for having grown into that failure. The first business Sian launched was a restaurant. She wanted to leave her job in advertising to start a restaurant business she had zero experience with, so she simultaneously did 3 jobs for a year. After that, she finally opened her restaurant. This was a fantastic five-years-experience. Sian describes it as a rollercoaster. She also thinks that women are biologically adept at re-invention, so she got back to her marketing roots and started a branding and marketing agency. We talk about the position of naivety and how empowering is the benefit of not knowing. This is something that has played a huge role in Sian's decision to build her next business - a pregnancy skincare brand Mama Mio. If you have a will, you will find a way. If you can run the restaurant, you can run the country. Finally, she left Mio too, and she talks about her feelings back then. That business was a part of her identity she loved. Still, she realized she had to jump off. At the time, she was asked to consult the board of Plastic Ocean Foundation. She advised them on releasing the documentary film "A Plastic Ocean" and realized this was her next thing. Sian shared with us the story of the very beginning of the idea behind the Plastic Planet. They wanted to give people a choice to buy something different, become free of guilt, and start prototyping the future. She is aware that plastic pollution is not slowing down. Plastic Planet is initiating dialogue between important stakeholders and at the same time building a global resources library. Sian's message for people who are starting their business is: "Don't find a trend, find a need, or go even further - find a movement and build a community." She also has a question you need to find the answer to if you want to build a successful business: "How is it converted to sales?" "Life is too short to blend in," "Embrace your naivety as your superpower," and many other inspiring pieces of advice from Sian are waiting for you in this episode. Listen to it until the end, and find out even more about how incredible Sian does her thing and still makes time for mini-breaks with friends and family.

When you hear the term circular packaging design or circular economy, many people confuse it to mean recycling. Even though the recycling logo is a möbius loop, the process is generally linear, not circular. In this episode we talk with Paul Foulkes-Arellano founder of Circuthon, founder of the Sustainable Design Alliance, and an advisor at A Plastic Planet. A Plastic Planet as of this recording just helped Unilever's Dove launch their first refillable deodorant packaging. Also check out Paul's Circular Footwear Initiative! Learn how to talk to clients and guide them into more sustainable packaging design solutions. Understand how materials are recycled, what materials aren't, and what it truly means to create a circular packaging solution. Check out IDPdirect.com for factory direct packaging manufacturing.

In this episode of Frontiers, Sian Sutherland, Co-Founder of A Plastic Planet, describes her mission to reduce plastic dependency. We explore the journey of an entrepreneur who has finally found her calling and her alternative approach to activism that involves working with corporates to change them from the inside.
The impact of plastic on the environment has become a global concern in the past few years, and the food and drink industry is experiencing understandable pressure to ditch plastic and move to newer sustainable packaging. However, it's not an easy transition, with plastic acting as a great way to keep food fresher for longer. In today's podcast we're joined by Sian Sutherland, Co-Founder, A Plastic Planet, to discuss the scale of the problem the industry faces, and find ways that companies small and large can make an impact as we look towards a plastic-free future.

Can Indie beauty brands ever partner successfully with large multinationals? Or are Indie brands who sell to large corporations, in fact selling out? In this episode of The Green Beauty Conversations Podcast, we tackle the tricky subject of Indie brand acquisitions and why all brand founders should have an exit strategy for their business. Recently, brands such as Dermalogica, Schmidt’s Naturals, TooFaced, Tatcha and many others, have all been snapped up by major multinationals such as Unilever, L’Oreal, Estee Lauder and Procter & Gamble. Over the last five years, these huge beauty corporations have spent billions on acquiring beauty brands from across the world – including many successful indies. Drunk Elephant’s recent $845 million dollar sale to Shiseido, is the latest acquisition to cause controversy and receive comments also within the Formula Botanica community. We interview two beauty entrepreneurs on the topic of selling your business, to hear their views. First we speak to Julie Longyear, the founder of independent natural beauty brand Blissoma based in the USA. Julie founded her brand in 2001 and creates raw, plant-based, skincare by hand, using herbs and essential oils, in her herbal studio in St. Louis, Missouri. Our second guest is Sian Sutherland, beauty brand founder and multi-award winning serial entrepreneur. In 2005, Sian created Mama Mio Skincare, a premium pregnancy range followed by Mio Skincare for active women. Sian sold her business in 2015 to The Hut Group, a global eCommerce company based in the UK. Sian now runs A Plastic Planet, a social impact non-profit with a single goal - to ignite and inspire the world to turn off the plastic tap. In this Podcast we explore: Indie Beauty brand attitudes to selling to multi-nationals How and why an Indie brand may want to sell to a large corporation The public perception of Indie brands that are sold and if the sale changes how they are run Key take-outs include: All business owners need to think of an exit strategy that suits their business There are many different options available to Indie beauty brands as an exit strategy There is no right or wrong choice as to what to do with your business and here at Formula Botanica we celebrate all entrepeneurs Thank you for joining us for this episode of the Formula Botanica: Green Beauty Conversations podcast.

On today's episode, we will be talking broadly about plastic pollution and some of the different impacts it has on our health and the environment. We are joined today with special guest Tate Weaver who runs a non-profit called S.E.E. Difference which focuses on combating social, economic, and environmental matters, globally. He will also be discussing his upcoming documentary Plastic Planet and the scope of what he hopes to explore with his film. Special Guest: Tate Weaver Music From: Bella Rene
In today's episode, Paul speaks to Sian Sutherland, Co-Founder of A Plastic Planet and Founding Member of The Conduit. Sian explains why consumers aren't to blame for the plastic crisis, shares why she hates the term 'recyclable' and reveals the innovative biomaterials being developed as single-use plastic alternatives.
The plastic lifecycle starts with oil and gas extraction and extends through manufacturing, consumer use, and waste management. David Azoulay, Director of the Environmental Health Program at the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and coauthor of “Plastic & Health: The Hidden Costs of a Plastic Planet” report, details potential exposures and health impacts at each stage of the plastic lifecycle. He suggests that organizations collaborate to create one compelling narrative addressing the entire lifecycle, working together to find solutions to plastic’s toxic legacy.
Shoppers are more conscious of the impact food and drink packaging has on the environment and want to make sustainable choices for a better tomorrow. Our panel look at what the food and drink industry is doing to help, and what more needs to be done to ensure a better future. Take an in-depth look at how brands and retailers are reducing their plastic waste, what is the next generation of packaging, and how changing consumer attitudes will shape the packaging of the future. Joining host Jo Kirkland are Caroline Ottoy, Food Service Director at Planet Organic, Catherine Conway, Founder of Unpackaged, and Ian Bates, MD at Reel Brands, to discuss where we are today and where we will be in the future as we look to become more sustainable.
It turns out that bags for life are worse for the environment than we thought. We ask Paul Foulkes-Arellano from A Plastic Planet whether the solution is to switch to paper.

With us today on the Episode 1 and 1st Season of the Becoming Nature Podcast Show is Frederikke Magnussen. Co Founder of A Plastic Planet. We talk about the facts about single use plastic, how we can turn off the tap and where we can put pressure to help turn the climate ship around. A Plastic Planet (APP) is a grassroots movement launched in January 2017 with a single goal – to turn off the plastic tap. They want to dramatically reduce the use of conventional plastic; especially that used to package our food and drink. Recent history has proven that recycling this kind of plastic is not the answer; it is valueless, too difficult to reclaim and often contaminated. It’s fundamentally the wrong use of plastic in the first place. But right now, the public have no choice but to buy their food and drink packaged in this indestructible plastic. When you can buy gluten-free, fat-free, dairy-free; why can we not buy plastic-free? Learn more about their mission here: http://www.aplasticplanet.com/our-single-goal.php
In our second episode we dive into one of the most critical issues for the environment today (and the last few decades): plastic pollution. We explore how the problem came to be, where we are now, and what you can do in your everyday life to be part of the solution.Sources & Links: One of many articles on the Thailand whale:https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2018/06/04/whale-died-of-starvation-after-eating-80-plastic-bags-off-thailands-coast/#7b6df3116c31 McDonald’s rejects plastic proposal:http://fortune.com/2018/05/24/mcdonalds-shareholders-vote-keep-plastic-straws/ Read more about the Global Programme of Action and the Clean Seas Agreement:https://www.unenvironment.org/explore-topics/oceans-seas/what-we-do/addressing-land-based-pollution http://cleanseas.org/ The National Geographic Planet or Plastic Campaign:https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/planetorplastic/ The sea turtle and the plastic straw (Viewer Discretion Advised):https://youtu.be/4wH878t78bw The stork in the plastic bag, and other photos:https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/06/plastic-planet-animals-wildlife-impact-waste-pollution/ TIME magazine – Throwaway Living:http://time.com/3879873/throwaway-living-when-tossing-it-all-was-all-the-rage/ The Malaysia Airlines plastic cameo:https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/04/140404-garbage-patch-indian-ocean-debris-malaysian-plane/ The EU and UK race to reduce:https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/28/eu-challenges-uk-to-race-to-the-top-on-plastics-reduction Visit the show’s website at www.conservationchronicles.podbean.com to learn moreFind us on Facebook and Instagram @ Conservation Chronicles
Welcome to Planet Pod - the weekly podcast for everyone who cares about the planet!In this week's podcast we are talking about plastic and how we can reduce our dependence on it, particularly single use plastics.Our guests include Alex Robinson, MD of Hubbub Enterprise and Sian Sutherland, co-founder of A Plastic Planet. Planet Pod is brought to you by Achill Management and the Planet Mark. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Rachel Hugh and Neil Potts introduce their Vurgers, while Jacob Thundil talks Cocofina. The other day it was announced that the UK would be ridded of plastic packaging within 25 years, and this makes us excited for a few reasons… 1) The whales from Blue Planet will be happy, yay. 2) We've met some amazing companies in the past who have been leading this fight. Yay for them too. Sian Sutherland of ‘A Plastic Planet' is one of our anti-plastic friends – check back on her podcast here. Fresh from her plastic fight, she'll be one of our judges for The FoodTalk Awards. Entries close on February 16th, so get your skates on – details here. Anyway, back to the podcast, we've got another fantastic show for you… A transport disaster prevented Sue Nelson, Guy Routledge and Ollie Lloyd from trying one of The Vurger Co's vegan burgers but they'll be making a visit to their Spitalfields stall soon to try one fresh and hot. Rachel Hugh and Neil Potts described the amazing story so far. Our other guest may have a recognisable voice. Why? If you've watched Dragons Den, he's been on there and if you listen to national radio, he's had an advert on there too. Jacob Thundil is the man behind the voice and he introduced the Cocofina brand to us. Coconuts galore.
RADIO SHOW CONSONNI Propiedad intelectual y prácticas artísticas El pasado 22 de junio del 2017, la productora de arte y editorial consonni, organiza junto con Azkuna Zentroa, un programa de radio en torno a la propiedad intelectual y las prácticas artísticas, conducido por la locutora Alicia San Juan y con Alberto de la Hoz en la parte técnica. Además, Leire Palacios es la encargada de poner voz a las preguntas y reflexiones del público. Es una actividad con público en directo y retransmisión online, donde se conversa con diferentes especialistas en la materia desde la música, las artes visuales, el análisis de las leyes, la gestión de derechos, el activismo, etc. BLOQUE 3 Jaime de los Ríos, artista de nuevos medios, fundador del laboratorio Abierto de Arte y Ciencia Arteklab y comisario del proyecto transmedia Plastic Planet y de la exposición del mismo nombre que Azkuna Zentroa presenta en colaboración Ars Electronica y el Foro Cultural de Austria en Madrid. Jaime de los Ríos conversa con dos artistas que participan en la exposición. Por un lado, Hans Bernhard artista, parte del colectivo Ubermorgen junto a Lizvlx pioneros del net.art que convierten el “código y lenguaje“ y el “concepto y estética“ en objetos digitales, arte software, instalaciones, videos e incluso en acciones. Por otro, con Chang Yen Tzu que es una artista digital taiwanesa que desde el 2011 trabaja en varios campos del arte interdisciplinar y performances experimentales de instalaciones-sonoras.
After two weeks of superb specials from the Speciality Show, FoodTalk returned to its trusted and tested format in our comfy studio. Sue Nelson and Guy Routledge had been getting withdrawal symptoms, so it was good to be back. To get us back into the swing of things, we had a topic which certainly got the debate flowing. Staggeringly, by 2050, the weight of plastic in the oceans will outweigh that of fish. Sian Sutherland is determined to turn the tide – she founded the ‘A Plastic Planet' movement. Their goal? They want supermarkets to offer a plastic-free aisle. From one sustainability project to another, we attended Disco Soup last week and what an event it was. Steve Griffiths and James Sloan went over to Mercato Metropolitano to find what the craic was; saving wasted vegs, feeding mouths, listening to Ministry of Sound tunes – lovely stuff. We had enough to shout about for an hour but we simply had to holla at Adam Beveridge. He's created a fantastic Snapchat-story style app called Hollabox which is whittling down the best places to eat, drink, chill and generally just enjoy existence in London.
Guys, I'm so excited to be joined today by Zanna Van Dijk - Girl Gains Cofounder, blogger & PT and (surprise!) eco warrior. We talk about what drives her passion for sustainability and why she's a hippy at heart. She shares her hot tips for living a more conscious and environmentally friendly life and we talk about the importance of not putting too much pressure on yourself to nail everything all at once; just do you and do what you can/want to. We also talk about meditation & mindfulness and how Zanna got into it to help her business. We also talk about labels and not putting yourself in a box. {Zanna on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook https://www.instagram.com/zannavandijk/ https://twitter.com/zannavandijk https://www.facebook.com/zannavandijk/ {Zanna's Blog | YouTube} http://www.zannavandijk.co.uk/ https://www.youtube.com/user/zannananny795 {4 Things You Can Do To Save The Planet} http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541 {Plastic Oceans} https://www.plasticoceans.org/film/ {A Plastic Planet} http://aplasticplanet.com/ {Mindfulness + Meditation episode w/ Tessa Watt} http://www.laurathomasphd.co.uk/podcast/dont-salt-game-ep06-tessa-watt-mindful/ {iChoc Vegan White Chocolate} http://ichoc.de/en/ {Divine Dark Chocolate w/ Raspberry} http://www.waitrose.com/shop/ProductView-10317--107791-Divine+Fairtrade+dark+chocolate+with+raspberries?tag=veganuary-21 {Symprove Probiotics} http://www.symprove.com/ £120 for a 12 week supply (RRP £158).

In brief, they want more drinking fountains in London so we don't have to throw away so many plastic bottles. Someone's come up with a plastic container that you can eat. I wonder what you wrap it in. Should you be entitled to a doggy bag in Scotland? Your clothes are probably polluting the oceans, but some people have the balls to solve this problem. Plastic Planet is a pressure group seeking to banish plastic from the planet, or a lot of it anyway. They are targeting supermarkets. The Local Government Association is targeting chewing gum manufacturers. Let's aim for Zero Waste to Landfill. The Carbon Trust has a document that tells us how. On the energy front, there's trouble at Drax and there's a new renewables project in the wind on the Outer Hebrides. Scientists have discovered a material which absorbs CO2. Good news, maybe, for Al Gore who launches An Inconvenient Sequel in July. Finally, a word from a concerned citizen, writing to my local paper.
In dieser Folge stellen wir Dir den sehr sehenswerten Dokumentarfilm "Plastic Planet" von Werner Boote vor, erzählen Dir von unseren Erkenntnissen, die wir durch diesen Film gewonnen habenund laden Dich zu verschiedenen Buchverlosungen ein.Auf den Dokumentarfilm "Plastic Planet" bin ich über einen Artikel von Deutschlandistvegan.de gekommen. Diesen Dokumentarfilm kannst Du Dir kostenlos über die Bumdeszentrale für politische Bildung anschauen, er hat Spielfilmlänge und ist sehr gut gemacht. Auf Plastik zu verzichten ist definitiv eine Herausforderung und war für mich bisher eigentlich nur aus Nachhaltigkeitsgründen sinnvoll. Durch den Film ist mir der Gesundheitsaspekt um einiges bewusster geworden und ich weiß, dass es für mich noch viel zu tun gibt.

Die #Doku #PlasticPlanet dürfte jedem bekannt sein. Ich habe sie mir jetzt auch mal angeschaut. Meine Meinung dazu hört ihr in diesem Boo. #RikyPalm #MMARadioDE #4e2e #nonpg
