Podcast appearances and mentions of Sandra Postel

Über Gewalt in der Pflege wird selten gesprochen, dabei ist es ein ernstzunehmendes Problem, das sowohl Menschen mit Demenz als auch Pflegepersonal und Angehörige betreffen kann. Um auf dieses Tabuthema aufmerksam zu machen, haben wir zwei Folgen produziert. In der ersten geht es um Definitionen und Formen von Gewalt. Außerdem stellen wir drei Projekte zur Prävention vor: „Pflege in Bayern – gesund + gewaltfrei – Gesundheitsförderung und Gewaltprävention in Pflegeheimen“, „Partizipative Entwicklung eines Konzeptes zur Gewaltprävention (PEKo“) und „ReduFix“, das Pflegeeinrichtungen bei der Vermeidung von Fixierung und der Reduzierung von freiheitsentziehenden Maßnahmen unterstützt. Interviewpartner:innen: Prof. Dr. Thomas Klie (www.thomasklie.de/) Sandra Postel, Präsidentin Pflegekammer NRW (www.pflegekammer-nrw.de/vorstand/) Anja Bergmann (pflegewissenschaft.uni-koeln.de/sites/pflegewissenschaft/CV_AnjaBergmann.pdf)

Die Zahl der Pflegebedürftigen steigt. Es fehlen Pflegekräfte und Pflegeplätze. Die Beiträge zur Pflegeversicherung steigen. Aber Geld allein wird nicht reichen. Wie gehen Sie damit um? Moderation: Julia Schöning Von WDR 5.

No doubt about it, water is fascinating! It's also essential. Every living thing on Earth needs it, from big blue whales to teeny, tiny bacteria. But our planet is facing some serious water problems: Drinkable water isn't easily accessible to everyone, the demands for water around the globe are increasing while the supply is limited, and some human actions are causing disastrous ripple effects downstream for ecosystems and the animals that live in them. Fortunately, there is hope! By learning the ins and outs of important water issues and making small but powerful changes in our daily life, we can help protect the water that connects us all on our beautiful blue planet.

It was just Earth Day (which should be EVERY day!) and Maria chats with Sandra Postel, Director of the independent Global Water Policy Project about our current water condition in the world and what we can all do to preserve and protect it!This is all tied in to Nat Geo Kids book "Water!! Why Every Drop Counts and How You Can Start Making Waves To Protect It"!!

In the second part of our two-part Earth Day episode, Water is More Important!?, we're exploring the vital role that water plays in sustaining life on Earth and beyond. Our special guest is none other than Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project. She will share her insights with us into the importance of this precious resource.[[So. I'm sitting here on my bachelor pad, and you have me wondering. How did it all get here? The water, I mean. It seems Earth has an awful lot of it. I mean, blue planet, and all that rot.]]Sandra Postel appears on The Cosmic Companion for Earth Day, 22 April 2023. Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution 2023 The Cosmic Companion.It turns out that no one is quite sure how or why water formed in such great quantities on Earth. Certainly, being at the right distance from the Sun, and having a thick atmosphere, allowing water to pool on its surface helps. But, how did water first arise on our world?Researchers have been puzzling over this question for years, and there are a few major ideas which have emerged.One theory is that water arrived on Earth through comets and asteroids. These space-borne clumps of rock and ice collided with our planet billions of years ago in large numbers, potentially bringing water with them. This theory is supported by the fact that the ratio of heavy to regular water on Earth is very similar to that found in comets, suggesting comets may have played a major role in forming the oceans of Earth.Another possibility is that water was present on Earth from the very beginning, during the formation of our planet. This theory suggests that water was present in the gas and dust cloud that eventually coalesced to form Earth. As the planet cooled and solidified, the water vapor condensed into liquid, forming oceans.[Cool water]A third theory is that water was created by the reactions that took place within the Earth's mantle. This idea suggests that high pressures and temperatures within the mantle caused the formation of water molecules from the elements present in the layers of our nascent planet.And, it is also possible that each of these sources played a role in creating the aquatic environment of our water world. Today, water covers more than 70 percent of our planet, supporting millions of species of life. And, water around the planet, together with the life which depends on it, are threatened by global climate change, driven by human activity.Next up, we talk with Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project.The Blue Marble on which we live is more than oceans, lakes, ponds and rivers. Water is also found in the atmosphere, aquifers, and life itself, including you and me.Heat from the Sun drives evaporation from oceans and other bodies of water, lifting water into the air. [wooooah!] Once in the atmosphere, this water vapor condenses into clouds, eventually releasing their moisture as precipitation, such as rain or snow, back onto the land and water.Moisture which falls onto land can either seep into the ground and become groundwater, or flow back into rivers, lakes, and oceans, restarting the cycle. The process is also influenced by factors like wind, temperature, and topography, which help determine the amount of precipitation that falls in different areas.This water cycle ensures that water is constantly moving and being redistributed throughout the planet, providing us with this essential resource that we all need to survive.[[Some desert plants only need water once every couple weeks under most conditions. Those ever-resilient tardigrades can last decades between drinks of water. And, some bacteria also use very little water, although their metabolism still depends on this vital liquid. The rest of us really need the stuff!]]There are several ways people can help conserve and protect this precious resource. Homeowners can seek out efficient appliances with the WaterSense label, and repair water leaks as soon as possible after they are discovered. Rainwater harvesting collects water which would have simply rolled off roofs, making it accessible for gardens and outdoor cleaning.Watering gardens during mornings and evenings reduces evaporation and water use. Shorter showers can also play a role in conserving water. Every little bit helps when we look to preserve the health of lifeforms on Earth.[[Water is more important? Not much. I'm Poseidon, so… I'm right.]]Next week on The Cosmic Companion, we will be Pondering Panspermia — the idea that life here on Earth may have started from ingredients from space, delivered by comets and asteroids. We will be talking with Brian Selznick, the author of Big Tree. Make sure to join us starting on 29 April, at TheCosmic Companion.net.

Im Januar dieses Jahres wurde Sandra Postel zur Präsidentin der neu gegründeten Pflegekammer in NRW gewählt. Sie spricht über die großen Herausforderungen in der Pflege und wie sie ihnen begegnen will. Moderation: Elif Senel Von WDR 5.

Sandra Postel, director of the independent Global Water Policy Project wrote the forward for the New Nat Geo Kids Book, Water, and she checks in on First Look with Andy Morris to talk about the book.

No doubt about it, water is fascinating! It's also essential. Every living thing on Earth needs it, from big blue whales to teeny, tiny bacteria. But our planet is facing some serious water problems: Drinkable water isn't easily accessible to everyone, the demands for water around the globe are increasing while the supply is limited, and some human actions are causing disastrous ripple effects downstream for ecosystems and the animals that live in them.

For Earth Day week, we bring you a look at ways young people can help save the planet! We'll be talking with Cliff Lewis, author of We the Future!This week on The Cosmic Companion, we look at ways young people can help make Earth a better place to live. Later in the show, we're going to be talking with Cliff Lewis, author of We the Future! [This episode is aimed toward young people, but there are plenty of lessons in here for everyone, so keep watching, regardless of your age.] {Thank you!}Since the start of the Industrial Revolution the Earth's climate has been rapidly changing due to human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. In fact, it has been 46 years since our planet last experienced a year with cooler-than-normal temperatures.Now, I know you've heard the term “global warming” before, and you might think it just means that the Earth is getting a little warmer, no big deal. But here's the thing: global warming is already resulting in some pretty serious problems.Listen to the podcast here, or watch the video version of this episode!The production of greenhouse gases is causing the Earth's temperature to increase, leading to rising sea levels, more frequent and intense natural disasters, and setting off a cascade of plant and animal extinctions.Rising temperatures are causing glaciers and ice caps to melt, which could mean more flooding, more intense storms, and the pollution of water supplies for large cities.[It's too bloody hot!]Climate change is also resulting in more extreme weather, like heatwaves and droughts, which can harm crops and lead to food shortages. Ocean temperatures are also rising, driving deaths of coral reefs and a loss of biodiversity.But there is hope. We can take action to protect our planet and prevent the worst effects of climate change. We can reduce our carbon footprint by driving less, using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, and eating a plant-based diet. [Did you know humans share about 98% of our DNA with pigs, compared to just 90% with cats and 82% with dogs? We even play video games! So… May I recommend a yummy fruit smoothie for breakfast?”] {Mmmm… Fruit smoothies!}Young people have the power to make a difference, advocating for policies prioritizing the health of the planet and supporting sustainable practices. You can speak out about the urgency of climate change and encourage others to take action by your own example, striving toward a more Earth-friendly lifestyle.Next up, we talk with Cliff Lewis about his new book, We the Future!So, here's the good news: we can do something to reduce our carbon footprint.When you need to travel, consider having fun and getting some exercise by walking or biking whenever possible. Or take public transportation instead of driving a car. Young people can also talk to your parents about the benefits of driving an electric or hybrid vehicle.In addition, household solar panels and rainwater harvesting reduces demand on utilities, decreasing our use of fossil fuels significantly. This can save a significant amount of money on your home's electricity bill!Another important thing nearly all of us can do is to recycle! Some other ideas are to reduce waste by using reusable water bottles, lunch containers, and bags.Some people will downplay the effects of personal choices in protecting the environment. And, although it is true that large industries create vast amounts of the environmental pollution, consumers have the power to make them change.Large unscrupulous corporations [EVIL LAUGH] do the damage they do for one reason — to make money. As consumers, we have the power to support alternatives to environmentally damaging products and practices. We can choose to buy products that are made sustainably and reduce harm to the environment. We can support companies that prioritize reducing their carbon footprint and investing in renewable energy.If enough of us make these choices, we can have a real positive impact on the environment. We can show companies that there is a demand for environmentally-friendly products and practices, pushing them to make changes to their products and policies.Finally, get involved in your communities! Join a local environmental group, attend climate rallies and marches, and make sure you're educating yourself and others about these issues.As life springs to, well, life, around us this season, let's celebrate the plants and animals and fungi and other beings around us by doing what we can to help save our planet for future generations.[[We can all plant the seeds for future generations. Don't leave it for others to do. We all need to be pollen in the same direction. Let us get to the root of the…]]Next week on The Cosmic Companion, we have a special guest for Earth Day! We welcome Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project to the show. [[Greetings, mortals. I'm Poseidon, Greek god of the sea. I'm also god of Earthquakes. And, for some strange reason, horses. I'm basically a walking Jim Morrison poem. Ahem. I assure you that water is one of the most precious resources on the planet. On Earth Day, The Cosmic Companion asks the question, “Water is More Important!?” Answer? Not much. Dive on in with us starting on Earth Day, 22 April.]]If you enjoyed this episode of The Cosmic Companion, feel free to comment, share, and tell your friends about the show.

Verbesserungen in der Pflege konnten bisher nicht erreicht werden, weil den Beschäftigten eine Stimme gefehlt hat, sagt Sandra Postel, Pflegekammer NRW. Diese neue Kammer soll jetzt für den Berufsstand einstehen und politische Positionen beziehen. Von WDR 5.

During the last century, large engineering projects were used to control water resources. But in many ways, that man-made infrastructure is failing to meet challenges in the 21st century such as drought, flooding, pollution, and population growth.How can a pivot back to nature provide more sustainable solutions for water management?The nature-based approach is discussed in this episode with Sandra Postel, the author of Replenish and the Director of the Global Water Policy Project. Sandra discusses a variety of examples from across the U.S. of the benefits of nature-based solutions, including restoring the flow of rivers, putting watersheds to work, providing room for floods, and bringing down dams.waterloop is sponsored by Varuna, the tool that provides water utilities with full system awareness and offers a new resilience dashboard that identifies internal and external risks.

Water is mysterious. It is cleansing, it is dangerous, and it is life-giving. In our everyday life we can tend to overlook just how fascinating and important water is. Water is interesting both scientifically and biblically, so it's only fitting that we explore it. And in this episode we do just that. Because this is a complex topic, we asked several experts to join us in this episode. You'll hear from Kent Frens, Jenni Brandon, Sandra Postel, and Ben McFarland who each talk about water through their areas of expertise.

For centuries, we have built big dams, reservoirs, and levees. Humans have steered and shaped the flow of water to irrigate deserts, prevent floods and access groundwater. But through big engineering, we've also created breaks in the natural flow of freshwater from source to sea. The good news is: we can look back to nature for solutions.  In this episode we speak with Sandra Postel, one of the world's leading freshwater experts, about how solutions rooted in nature - like cover cropping and river restoration - are key to mending the broken water cycle. We also speak with Lisa Hollingsworth-Segedy, a Director of River Restoration for American Rivers, about a demolition project along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvaniad. She sees dam removal as a critical first step to river restoration. mending our planet's broken water cycle.     About our guests: Sandra Postel is an American conservationist, a leading expert on international water issues, and Director of the Global Water Policy Project. She is the winner of the 2021 Stockholm Water Prize. During her years at the Worldwatch Institute in Washington, DC, she was early in adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to water, after having studied geology, political science, and environmental management. In 1994 Postel founded the Global Water Policy Project. She is also the co-creator of the water stewardship initiative Change the Course, as well as a prolific writer and a sought-after communicator. Between 2009 and 2015, Postel served as Freshwater Fellow of the National Geographic Society.    Lisa Hollingsworth-Segedy Lisa joined American Rivers in 2008 to work with communities, individuals, government, and other non-profit organizations to facilitate the removal of dams that have outlived their useful life. She has been involved in the removal of nearly 100 obsolete dams.Lisa is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners and brings more than three decades of experience in community and regional planning, environmental and resource protection planning, water resource management, project management, community economic revitalization, geology, and hydrogeology to her position.Lisa was an associate producer for American Rivers' documentary “Restoring America's Rivers,” and has completed several demonstration projects using Large Wood Debris for river restoration and aquatic habitat in Pennsylvania.

Mit Sandra Postel sprechen wir über den Errichtungsprozess der Pflegekammer in Nordrhein-Westfalen und welche Rolle sie dabei spielt. Wir erläutern nochmal den Sinn und Zweck von Pflegekammern, sprechen darüber, ob das Kammermodell vielleicht sogar veraltet ist und heben heraus, weshalb wir sie brauchen. Sandra Postel erklärt den Prozess der Registrierung und geht auf Kammerdialoge und den Beitrag ein. Sie erklärt, was sie im Gegensatz zu Niedersachsen und Schleswig-Holstein anders machen werden und was sie sich für die Zukunft wünscht.

Sandra Postel has devoted her life to studying the world's freshwater systems, and they're not looking so great right now. Through a combination of over-allocation, over-engineering, over-use, and climate change, we'll be in trouble if we don't address the problem soon—in fact, we're in trouble now. But the solutions are there, and already in place on a small scale, and they involve working with nature rather than against it to restore the natural flows and stay in balance.

This week, host Daniel Raimi talks with Ellen Gilinsky about Waters of the United States, or WOTUS, which refers to the 2015 Clean Water Rule that defined the scope of federal water protection, particularly for streams and wetlands that share a hydrologic system with "navigable waters." Gilinsky was the associate deputy assistant administrator for water at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); she is an expert on all things WOTUS. Raimi and Gilinsky discuss why WOTUS is so important for federal regulation of surface waters; why the waters that fall under regulation are so tricky to define; and how the Trump administration has sought to change the definitions, with implications that reduce regulation. Just last week, EPA and the US Army Corps of Engineers published their Navigable Waters Protection Rule to change the definition of WOTUS and "navigable waters," demarcating four categories for waters under jurisdiction. The new rule becomes effective on June 22 this year, although lawsuits already are challenging it.

Sandra Postel, leading authority on global water issues, discusses her approach to promoting the preservation and sustainable use of freshwater in her talk: "Replenish: The Virtuous Cycle of Water and Prosperity."

Stat: 844 million. The amount of people worldwide who lack even a basic drinking-water service, according to the World Health Organization. Story: For many of us, it can be easy to take water for granted. Turn on the tap and it’s there. But today, the world faces a tipping point, with water security—having sufficient access to safe water for our daily lives—at risk. Listen in as our guest, Sandra Postel, discusses the challenges and shares options for fixing our broken water cycle.

In this episode of Deeply Talks, Tara Lohan, Water Deeply’s managing editor, speaks with author and water expert Sandra Postel about her newest book, Replenish: The Virtuous Cycle of Water and Prosperity, and about today’s major water problems, and solutions.

In this episode of Deeply Talks, Tara Lohan, Water Deeply’s managing editor, speaks with author and water expert Sandra Postel about her newest book, Replenish: The Virtuous Cycle of Water and Prosperity, and about today’s major water problems, and solutions.

Guest Sandra Postel, Director of the Global Water Policy Project, speaks with Diane Horn about her most recent book “Replenish: The Virtuous Cycle of Water and Prosperity”.

Sandra Postel‘s new book is Replenish: The Virtuous Cycle of Water and Prosperity. It’s about the world water cycle, and about real solutions to the problem of providing water for people and food, and at the same time for nature and wildlife. And it’s also about building coalitions, relationships, and partnerships among many different water users — which, if we’re committed and lucky, just might prevent major water shortages and crises in the not-very-distant future. Postel is author of several books on water; she’s director of the Global Water Policy Project, and co-founded Change The Course, a national water stewardship project that received the 2017 U.S. Water Prize for restoring water to rivers and wetlands. She’s been a freshwater fellow at National Geographic; she worked with the Worldwatch Institute; she’s was named one of the “Scientific American 50” for her contribution to science; she’s written for many publications like Science and Natural History; and her work formed the basis of a PBS documentary on water. This program is produced in collaboration with the Quivira Coalition.
