Is the sports and active nutrition space really the influential epicenter of the CPG world? I've made that confident declaration A LOT lately, but I have to be honest…behind closed doors I'm just waiting for someone to call me out one of its massive blind spots (like sustainability). But as Deion Sanders recently said, "you better come get us now because this is the worst we will ever be." While there's still tons of industry-wide work that needs to be done, I'm inspired by a recent innovative sustainability project by the largest global online sports nutrition brand MyProtein. Faced with the common “out of date stock product disposal” challenge, the company decided to think circularly by combining Myprotein ingredients and upcycled materials to produce a sustainable fish feed pellet. So, if you see Nemo looking fit…you know why!

Léonore Garnier is the Sustainability Project Manager at the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. Her role focuses on promoting collective sustainability efforts within the fashion industry. With a background that emphasizes creativity, she defines sustainability as fashion's avenue to embody relevance, durability, and circularity while addressing environmental and social challenges.As part of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, Léonore Garnier contributes to its mission of advancing sustainability in the fashion realm. The federation initiates collaborative endeavors, such as the "eco-design for sustainable product regulation," guiding brands to integrate sustainable practices into their operations.Garnier's role involves guiding brands to comprehend their environmental impact, advocating for materials reuse, and incorporating sustainable design principles into events like Paris Fashion Week. With a vision that cherishes clothing's value and mindful consumption, the Federation aims to instill sustainability as a fundamental approach within the fashion industry.In this new episode of Smart Creation, Léonore talks to us about her vision of fashion and the importance of combining creativity, sustainability, and innovation, in order to make a positive contribution to the fashion industry and create a better future.CONTENT TO FIND YOUR WAY IN THE EPISODE01.11 The guest introduces herself and talks about her role at the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode01:54 : She talks about what she did before and where she studied03:02 She explains her definition of sustainability04:29 She provides an overview of the main sustainability initiatives that the Federation has implemented to help brands become more responsible07:19 She explains what's a sustainable fashion show09:17 She talks about the different regulations for fashion shows, and what the Federation recommends to the fashion brands ? 15:20 She talks about the most important key learnings to become more sustainable as a fashion brand 18:02 She explains how the Federation influences the brands and how they measure their environmental impact 23:29 She explains how fashion can be sustainable and what are her hopes and expectations for the industry 25:40 She talks about the last item she bought and why 26:52 She gives her advice to fashion brands in order to make their practice more sustainable28:56 She talks about international markets and how they react to sustainability31:43 Rapid-fire question sectionKey Learnings : "Sustainability is a constraint; we confront a vast climate crisis that extends beyond any single industry. What I find intriguing is that when connected to fashion, it demands qualities of relevance, durability, persistence, and circularity. These substantial concepts gain true significance within creative industries, as creativity inherently thrives on innovation and unique thinking. Due to this constraint, sustainability demands a distinct approach. By its essence, fashion can be avant-garde, particularly given its contemporary nature, leading to the incorporation of environmental and social challenges.""Perhaps the most sustainable event is one with shared or rented materials. This notion extends beyond the event's immediate duration to encompass a week of activities. In our context, Paris Fashion Week facilitates cost-sharing—both financially and environmentally—by considering material reuse. While shows may appear extravagant, there exists substantial work dedicated to ensuring material relevance, usefulness, and multiple life cycles. A sustainable show possesses meaning, where every component serves another purpose." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Climate talks in COP27 recently concluded with a landmark agreement to create a loss and damage fund that would provide financial assistance to poor nations stricken by climate change. Historically, this idea has been resisted by richer nations who fear taking up the liability for climate change. Many poor countries continue to argue that they have done the least to cause climate change, but are likely to suffer the greatest losses, and should be compensated. In this episode, host Ritu Bhandari, manager, Policy & Insights at Economist Impact dives deeper into the role of a formal loss and damage mechanism in meeting our climate goals, countries most likely to push for action on this issue and factors that will shape it in the future, with Catherine Higham, policy fellow at Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment of the London School of Economics.Related content:Back to Blue: https://backtoblueinitiative.com/ The Sustainability Project: https://impact.economist.com/sustainability Register to attend the World Ocean Summit Asia-Pacific at: https://events.economist.com/world-ocean-summit-asia-pacific/ Hosted on Acast.

Bonus Care Bellamy's informative Permaculture garden tour of her food forest and pollinator beds: https://youtu.be/C6SQUlsQq8w  and then listen to my interview with her last January while you're waiting for me to publish this great interview I did with Heather Wood yesterday! I’m so excited I have a listener on the line who is going to share a ton of golden seeds! I talked to her before from Florida and she is going to share with us about her Sustainability Project! 1. Tell us a little about yourself. By day, I’m a REALTOR® and beekeeper. I’m also a 3rd generation farmer. My grandparents owned a 100 acre wheat farm on the prairie in rural Dufresne, Manitoba. My family lived off the land, they grew their food seasonally in a 1 acre vegetable garden. After the local community collectively brought in the fall harvest, they would busily preserve and can their produce for storage in their root cellar. These people were a hardy bunch, they managed to survive the brutually harsh winters with minimal resources using a wood burning stove for heat, crude electric and no running water or indoor plumbing. They kept and cared for livestock and only took what they needed to survive, my ancestors practiced “The Tragedy of the Commons” method. That’s how they managed to raise a family of 8 in rural Manitoba. And Manitoba is where people go to see the polar bears right? Yes Churchill Manitoba is where the polar bears are. Then you went to the opposite end of the continent practically to Florida. Yes I did I got hired to work for Disney at the Epcot Center back in the early 80s and that’s where I met my husband two weeks later and we’ve been here ever since!That’s so romantic! I always wanted to work for Disney, I tried to get a job or get into art school at the California Institute of Arts in LA. Well, they must have liked me! I managed to beat out 64 other people fro the job! So yay for me! And you worked there for a long time right? Yes 35 years! 2. Tell me about your first gardening experience?We used to visit the farm in the summer time every two years, however my mom! When my mother moved to the big city of Toronto, Ontario, she became a backyard farmer and composter carrying on her family farming tradition. I began helping my mother garden as a young child, she taught me valuable lessons in planting, harvesting and food preservation skills. All these years later I’ve been utilizing this and it’s been working out fantastic for me. Luckily for me, both my parents were award winning gardeners so pulling weeds or fresh carrots comes naturally. So then is it challenging down in Florida? Do you have to learn different practices to grow in that climate? Well, gardening is pretty much the same wherever you go. IT’s just the conditions and the climate. In Florida there is a sandy soil, where my parents lived it was a deep rich soil. You have to plant things things that grow well I’m in climate zone 9b, it’s way different climate. They get snow and here we don’t get any snow, we hardly get any freezes? 3. How did you learn how to garden organically? My mother taught me, she was a big time composter of our organic kitchen waste. In fact, she had 3 bins under the sink. one for regular trash recycables and strictly for organic waste She didn’t use toxic chemicals as there were few available when she grew up, instead she did pest control by hand and by natural methods. She would plant different plants with different vegetables using companion planting as well. They had to learn how to grow their own food and preserve it or they didn’t eat. So they had to learn quick! And probably some of it was passed on from generation to generation! Yes, of course. 4. Tell us about something that grew well this year. It is winter, but you can grow crops in Florida all year long. Adding 2 beehives... Support this podcast

Luckily for me, both my parents were award winning gardeners so pulling weeds or fresh carrots comes naturally. So then is it challenging down in Florida? Do you have to learn different practices to grow in that climate? Well, gardening is pretty much the same wherever you go. IT’s just the conditions and the climate. In Florida there is a sandy soil, where my parents lived it was a deep rich soil. You have to plant things things that grow well I’m in climate zone 9b, it’s way different climate. They get snow and here we don’t get any snow, we hardly get any freezes? 3. How did you learn how to garden organically? My mother taught me, she was a big time composter of our organic kitchen waste. In fact, she had 3 bins under the sink. one for regular trash recycables and strictly for organic waste She didn’t use toxic chemicals as there were few available when she grew up, instead she did pest control by hand and by natural methods. She would plant different plants with different vegetables using companion planting as well. They had to learn how to grow their own food and preserve it or they didn’t eat. So they had to learn quick! And probably some of it was passed on from generation to generation! Yes, of course. 4. Tell us about something that grew well this year. It is winter, but you can grow crops in Florida all year long. Adding 2 beehives to my garden mix was a huge plus this year. I grew delicious Beefsteak tomatoes just like my mother did. We also had great success growing a wide variety of herbs, including our own organic oregano and basil. We’ve grown cucumbers Support this podcast

We’re not living on Earth as if we want to stay, observes Mike Nickerson. In our last episode, Mike Nickerson shared his vision for, and the joy of, making the cultural shift necessary for a sustainable human civilization. In this continuation of the conversation, we explore some of the forces keeping our system stuck in an unsustainable mode. Nickerson leads the Sustainability Project/7th Generation Initiative in Canada, a non-profit organization that collects, studies, develops and teaches ideas, information, technologies and customs that promote green values and lead toward a sustainable future. His books include Change the World I Want to Stay On; Planning for Seven Generations: Guideposts for a Sustainable Future; and Life, Money and Illusion.

“We could be having so much fun that there just isn't time to consume resources on a quantity, or produce waste on a quantity that would be problematic for the planet,” according Mike Nickerson. He shares his ideas about how enjoyable it could be to make the cultural shift necessary for human civilization to be sustainable. Mike Nickerson has spent his career advancing sustainability. In the 1970s he founded and co-directed the Institute for the Study of Cultural Evolution. Today he leads the Sustainability Project/7th Generation Initiative in Canada, a non-profit organization that collects, studies, develops and teaches ideas, information, technologies and customs that promote green values and lead toward a sustainable future. Nickerson wrote legislation to launch measurement of a Genuine Progress Index in Canada. The Canadian government never followed through, but an independent Canadian Index of Wellbeing was eventually developed. His books include Change the World I Want to Stay On; Planning for Seven Generations: Guideposts for a Sustainable Future; and Life, Money and Illusion. More recently Mike has been helping to build the Lanark Eco-Village in Ontario, Canada. This conversation was recorded in 2008, but is being shared now for the first time.
