Solar panels are built to last, often functioning for decades beyond their warranty. When they're replaced, many are finding a second life in energy-poor regions like sub-Saharan Africa, where access to electricity can transform communities. Programs like Solar Sister help distribute these panels to power mobile phone chargers, e-bikes, and even entire villages. For example, an original Bell Labs PV cell from 1954 is still producing power 70 years later. Join The Clean Energy Show's CLEAN CLUB on Patreon or YouTube for exciting perks! This holiday season, Australia will pioneer V2G technology that allows electric vehicles to feed electricity back to the grid, helping balance supply and demand. Learn more about this development in Electrek's report. Could a single solar panel lift someone out of energy poverty? In a surprising move, Exxon's CEO has urged the U.S. to remain in the Paris Climate Agreement. This unexpected stance from an oil giant hints at complex motivations. Check out the details in Bloomberg's report. Listener Mail: Alex: A listener and sustainability expert, Alex, wrote in to share insights on the longevity and recycling of solar panels, noting that panels can often be used beyond their initial lifespan for energy-poor regions.

IFC chats with Olasimbo (“Simbo”) Sojinrin, Chief Operating Officer of Solar Sister, a leading provider of portable solar home systems in Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania that is working at the intersection of gender equality, climate justice, and energy access. Working with over 10,000 women entrepreneurs in Africa, Solar Sister has distributed clean energy products to nearly 5 million people, many living in last mile communities.

As an American with Kenyan heritage and a multicultural upbringing that includes formative years in India, Elizabeth Kaiga brings a highly unique & necessary lens to the energy transition. Our CEO spoke with Elizabeth, DNV's Chief Commercial Officer for Energy Systems in North America, at her office in Virginia. They spoke about her unconventional career path in the energy industry - starting from when she interned for the United Nations Environmental Programme, to then working at several global professional service firms. We especially loved hearing from Elizabeth about how she has successfully navigated her career as someone with a multicultural background & who has often been an ‘outsider', as well as about the new energy equity offerings DNV is now providing to its clients. Elizabeth has been on the Board of WRISE for 7 years now & shared more with Catherine about the ways in which the organization is directly impacting lives through fellowships, job boards, mentoring, networking opportunities & its speakers bureau. She also highlighted the strong impact of WRISE's corporate sponsors, including Google, Edison Energy, SOLV, RWE, Cordelio Power, MCE, Orsted, Qcells, Lightsource bp, Copia Power, AES, Longroad Energy and DNV. Elizabeth has also been on the Board of Solar Sister, a nonprofit that has helped over 10,000 women in Sub-Saharan Africa (an emerging market) gain access to clean energy solutions in off-grid communities and create clean energy businesses.

With todays episode we celebrate World Women's Day 2023, and fight for a Climate Just World! Our guest today is Katherine Lucey, who has been actively campaigning for gender equality and climate justice for more than 14 years. Her social business, Solar Sister, bridges the gap between empowering women and contributing to a greener world. These women are leaders in climate action by bringing green and clean energy to their communities. By generating an income, they are no longer portrayed as helpless victims, but as the valuable and active members of the community that they are. Today is International Women's Day. Let's celebrate women around the world! And at the same time shout to the world: Climate change is not gender neutral! Gender Justice = Climate Justice Look forward to a wonderful episode with Catherine Lucey and the Solar Sisters! *** If you like what you're listening to please subscribe and hit the follow-button. *** --------------------------------- Send us an e-mail: podcast.gender.climate@gmail.com Find us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gender-climate/  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/genderclimate/message

In this last podcast for 2022, we reflect on the COP27 outcomes with Solar Sister Chief Operating Officer Olasimbo Sojinrin. Simbo said she went to Egypt with enthusiasm that the climate conference would be Africa-focused as it was dubbed Africa's COP. While she commended the work to organize the event, she said important work happened in silos and did not go in the direction she hoped. Simbo also reflects on the responsibility developing nations have to address energy poverty and save vulnerable communities from climate disasters plaguing parts of the world. The consolation prize that Simbo said was worth noting and celebrating was the reached agreement on a funding mechanism to compensate vulnerable nations for ‘loss and damage' from climate-induced disasters. She said activists fought for this breakthrough for over 30 years. “Though no numbers or targets or set we take as a win,” she said. She said Solar Sister went to the conference with a keen interest to see how gender equity, climate justice, and energy access are tackled. Listen to the podcast to hear Simbo thinks these were handled.

How does a bored housewife from Maine go onto empowering 6000 African women to light up 2M households? Katherine Lucey was a Wall Street banker who took a few years off to be with her kids. At one point, they told her she didn't have enough to do—so she founded an organization in Uganda that combined her knowledge of microfinance and energy with a passion for empowering women. Solar Sister, a social benefit company, trains women to sell small, energy-efficient, inexpensive solar-powered lanterns throughout their rural villages. Ten years and 2 million lights later, Katherine was recently recognized for her impact by Fortune, becoming part of the Fortune 50 over 50 Impact list. But with over 600M households still needing light, Katherine has lots more to do. Join Liz for this inspiring conversation with Katherine Lucey.

Energy access affects health, safety, and education. Seventy-five percent of Africa's population live without access to modern energy, and women are affected the most.Our guest this week is Katherine Lucey, who is bringing the light to communities in Africa – literally. Her non-profit organization, Solar Sister, recruits women in sub-Saharan Africa and trains them in business skills. This provides women opportunities to distribute clean energy in underserved, off grid communities and to generate income for themselves and their families.When people can access clean, renewable energy, families are healthier, children can study longer, and communities are more stable.I'm a huge fan of entrepreneurship and using business as a force for good - not only to support the planet and see more clean energy fueling our world, but to support actual humans with the revenues coming in from the business…and this is the ultimate holistic solution.Quotables“Going green is not just a luxury. In this case, going green is beneficial for economics, for health, for safety.”“These women are transforming the lives of their communities. People who were lighting their homes with candles or kerosene now have clean energy, solar powered lights, home systems, clean cookstoves that they can use in their homes...The two big impacts are access to energy for the community, and the economic opportunity for women entrepreneurs.” “From an equity point of view, it's women and children who bear the brunt of the negative impacts of climate change.”“I think the inertia caused by our privilege is one of our biggest challenges.”-          All above quotes by Katherine LuceyThis week's guestKatherine Lucey is Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Solar Sister. Katherine is a Schwab Foundation Entrepreneur of the Year, an Ashoka Fellow, and a Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation Entrepreneur.

Women and girls are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change than men. But with the right resources, could women and girls actually be a solution to climate change? On this week's episode of Sky News ClimateCast, hosts Anna Jones and Katerina Vittozzi explore the role education and family planning play in the fight against climate change. They meet Harriet Cheelo from Zambia, who has applied her charity-funded education to a career in sustainable farming. Plus they hear from Olasimbo Sojinrin from Solar Sister, a business that champions women across Africa and ensures off-grid communities have access to renewable energy. But with the cuts in foreign aid, could women's opportunities to play a role in the fight against climate change be at risk? UNFPA share how their programmes will be hit by the UK government's decision to reduce funding for developing countries.Hosts: Anna Jones and Katerina Vittozzi Producer: Emma Rae WoodhouseGuests: Matt Jackson, Catherine Boyce, Harriet Cheelo, Angela Baschieri and Olasimbo Sojinrin

Today is about getting started. Action. It can be the most difficult, and yet the simplest part of any goal. Physically, it makes sense. If you think of a bowling ball, it has no problem smashing those pins down once you get it rolling. The most impressive event of a bowling ball’s existence is actually not all that difficult. The more impressive part is probably the person that gets it started.  Think about how this applies to other things we are impressed by. The finish of a race? An impressive concert? Maybe a progressive law being passed? For any of these things to happen, there had to be a beginning. Something that got the ball rolling. That beginning probably wouldn’t have wowed you, but it might have made all the difference. Our guest today is Latoya Shauntay Snell. She’s a mother, a runner, a chef, a cyclist, a writer, and more. She’s a strong voice for the black community and for body politics. Like you, she had a time when she got started. All the things she’s done had their first step. She shared with us what that’s been like and her journey so far. What is Toxic Positivity? When we share what we are doing, especially as we are just getting started, it’s very easy to want to come across as all sunshine and daises. You don’t want anyone to see your bad side, your unfinished product, your struggles. But can avoiding the hardships end up being a bad thing? Yes! If we only share the good, we aren’t giving the whole picture. This can hurt us and the people we are sharing with. Allowing ourselves to be human, to be real, is so important to our mental wellbeing. It also helps us connect more with our audiences or friends and family. This doesn’t mean you have to share everything, nor does it mean you can’t be a positive person and work to put a positive spin on things. It just means to not keep it all in, to not hide it all. Share how you are feeling and you’ll be surprised when people reach out and tell you they’ve had the same feelings too.  You’re Not a Late Bloomer Whether you just graduated college or just retired, it’s not too late to get started. Latoya sees and associates with a lot of athletes that are running, lifting, or otherwise getting active for the first time, or at least the first time in a long time. It’s becoming more and more popular to start training with purpose without necessarily making it a career or working to be an elite athlete. And it’s happening at all ages. There can be unnecessary pressure to plan out your life at a young age. A career, a degree, a hobby. It can feel like you will miss your opportunity if you don’t start yesterday, but we are seeing competitive weight lifters in their 60s and 70s who didn’t start till they were over 50, and ultrarunners that run 50 or 100 miles in similar age ranges.  The point is, it’s not too late. Why can’t you be the next outlier? It has to be someone, and the more outliers the better because it starts becoming normal. Don’t let anything about you deter you from starting today. Your race, your gender, your age, whatever it is, you’re not a late bloomer and you can get started.  Give Yourself Grace Black lives matter. I will continue to say it on this platform, and I will continue to try to do my part. I hope that you will take the challenge to get started. Be an ally, and know that mistakes will come. They do with anything we try to do, that’s just how it is. You’ll probably say something wrong, at the wrong time, or to the wrong person, but you’re trying. Give yourself grace as you get started. Latoya would be proud of you. Know that most people understand that you are making an effort, and that’s what matters. So, whatever it is you have been putting off, accept that the getting started can be the hardest, and that the momentum will carry you through the challenges. You can do it!   Resources: Latoya on Instagram Latoya on Twitter Latoya’s Website Black Girls Run Click HERE to learn about more about the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline.

In episode 158, Kestrel welcomes Jordan Nodarse, the founder and Creative Director of Boyish Jeans, to the show. While Jordan recently founded Boyish in 2018, he’s been around the denim scene for years — having been behind the launch of Reformation’s first denim collection, as well as Revolve’s GRLFRND denim. “I always tell people — it’s all about progress, not perfection. You’re never going to be 100% sustainable. Even when you feel like you’re 100% sustainable, you can always be more efficient. And the environmental impacts are always going to be evolving to become better and better, so you always have to evolve.” -Jordan Nodarse, Founder of Boyish On this week’s show, Jordan shares more on what first got him into denim — trying to make his own jeans. Being a musician at the time, Jordan wanted to have jeans that looked more like Bryce Springsteen in the era of bootcut, so he cut out the inseam of vintage jeans and altered them to get the look he was going for. Kestrel + Jordan also discuss more of the intricacies of what sustainability means to Boyish, how it’s always evolving, and how important it is for Jordan to use his brand to help educate shoppers. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Refibra by Lenzing, fabric that Boyish uses ZDHC (Zero Discharge Of Hazardous Chemicals); company Boyish works with that audits them regularly OEKO-TEX; Boyish works with them to help certify their factory Intertek; Boyish works with them for auditing The HIGG Index BCI Cotton + GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, Boyish has their mill only purchase one or the other, to ensure their cotton is traceable. They also request transactional certificates for everything, and do their best to buy consistently from their suppliers. PP (potassium permanganate): one of the harsh chemicals often used to distress denim. Jordan says it can easily be replaced by using natural cold water reactive enzymes. Tonello, more sustainable garment-finishing machines that Boyish uses Solar Sister, nonprofit Boyish donates to through 1% For The Planet Stashers, cool company that makes a silicone-based replacement for ziplock bags
