This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of sustainable mining and technology.Sustainable Solutions for the Mining IndustryPhoenix Tailings is leading the charge in reshaping the future of mining by offering sustainable alternatives to the traditional methods that have caused significant environmental harm. Traditional mining processes generate massive amounts of waste, with up to 2,000 tons of waste produced for every ton of metal extracted. This waste is often processed in countries with limited environmental protections, which leads to severe pollution and health risks for local populations. Phoenix Tailings is committed to reversing this trend by implementing a zero-waste, zero-emissions process for metal production.One of the core challenges in the mining industry is sourcing critical metals required for modern technologies like electric vehicles, wind turbines, and medical devices. These metals, including rare earth elements, are in high demand but are often sourced irresponsibly. Phoenix Tailings focuses on recycling metals from waste materials and traditional mining outputs to provide a more sustainable source of these essential metals, ensuring that they are processed in a way that minimizes environmental impact.As a company, Phoenix Tailings has already raised over $80 million and has built a team of experts dedicated to their mission of transforming the mining and metals production industry. Their work is not only driving the future of sustainable mining but also contributing to the broader goal of reducing the environmental footprint of industries like automotive, aerospace, and healthcare. Through partnerships with other industry leaders, Phoenix Tailings is expanding its impact and pushing for a global shift towards responsible sourcing and sustainable practices.About Nick MyersNick Myers is the CEO and co-founder of Phoenix Tailings, a company focused on transforming the mining and metals industry.

Since discovering homeopathy in 2010, Pat has become a leading figure in Ireland's homeopathic farming community. His journey began when his herd suffered a major outbreak of mastitis, which led him to explore unconventional methods. Impressed by the reduction in antibiotic use and the improvement in his herd's health, Pat began relying more on homeopathy, eventually winning milk quality awards for supplying top-quality milk to Dairygold Co-op. In 2019, after another mastitis outbreak, Pat successfully managed the situation without antibiotics, using homeopathy, apple cider vinegar, probiotics, and careful management. This experience deepened his knowledge of homeopathy and its application in farming. As a National Co-ordinator for farm homeopathy courses in Ireland, Pat has trained 25 Irish farmers and vets in the practice, creating a supportive WhatsApp community for knowledge-sharing. Pat regularly shares his farming experiences on his Homeopathy Dairy Farm Facebook page, advocating for a reduction in the use of conventional inputs and promoting alternative approaches to livestock health.

At the 2024 WaterSmart Innovations Conference in Las Vegas, waterloop founder Travis Loop shared key insights from his travels across the United States, documenting innovative water projects. He identified a number of commonalities that define sustainable solutions.A return to nature is a recurring theme, with projects like Louisiana's $3 billion Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion reconnecting the Mississippi River to its floodplains, restoring wetlands, and reducing erosion. Equally impactful are people-centered approaches, such as Milwaukee's lead pipe replacement program, which prioritizes workforce diversity and uplifts local communities.Loop also highlighted the importance of multi-benefit solutions, like Tucson's wetlands restoration, which improves water quality, revives the Santa Cruz River, and creates habitats for wildlife while offering recreation opportunities. Another crucial observation was the focus on return on investment, exemplified by East St. Louis' Horseshoe Lake, where a $2 million flood mitigation project prevented $10–15 million in damage during a major flood.Finally, climate resilience underpins many efforts, such as Memphis' Tom Lee Park, a green space that doubles as flood protection for the Mississippi River while serving as a vibrant community hub. Loop's observations highlighted the power of breaking down silos and embracing collaboration across sectors to secure water sustainability for future generations.waterloop is a nonprofit news outlet.

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin interviews Dr. Annalisa Bracco, a professor at Georgia Tech specializing in ocean and climate dynamics. The discussion centers around innovative climate solutions, moving away from the typical focus on the negative impacts of climate change. Key Climate Solutions Discussed: Sargassum Management: Problem: Since 2011, there have been significant blooms of sargassum in the tropical Atlantic, impacting beaches in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. These blooms require costly cleanup efforts, amounting to approximately $300 million per year. Solutions: Sinking Sargassum: Research is being conducted to explore the feasibility of sinking sargassum to sequester carbon. This involves understanding the ecological impacts and ensuring that the carbon captured is not released back into the atmosphere. Biofuel Production: Collaborations with engineers and biologists are underway to convert sargassum into biofuels. One approach involves using black fly larvae, which can efficiently consume sargassum and accumulate lipids for biofuel extraction. Bricks from Sargassum: A small business in Mexico is creating bricks from dried sargassum, which are reported to be more resilient to storms than traditional building materials. Coral Reef Connectivity: Dr. Bracco's team is using machine learning to study the connectivity among coral reefs, which is crucial for understanding how larvae disperse and how healthy ecosystems can support one another. The research highlights the dynamic nature of coral ecosystems, particularly in the Pacific, where certain areas can recover from bleaching events due to the exchange of larvae. In contrast, the Atlantic faces challenges due to pollution and overfishing, which hinder recovery. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: The episode emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary work in addressing climate issues. Dr. Bracco collaborates with experts from various fields, including biology, engineering, and computer science, to develop comprehensive solutions to climate challenges. Overall, the episode provides a hopeful perspective on climate solutions, showcasing innovative approaches to managing ocean health and addressing the impacts of climate change.

Plastic pollution clean up through absorption is now a possibility by using a combination of cotton and chittin to take microplastics out of the ocean...but can this work at scale? In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lo discusses the pressing issue of microplastics in the ocean and introduces a promising new method for their absorption using a combination of cotton and chitin. The mechanism involves creating a sponge-like substance called CT cell biomass, which combines cellulose from cotton and chitin from squid. This innovative material is designed to effectively capture microplastics from water. The process begins by breaking the original hydrogen bonds in cellulose and chitin, allowing them to bind together and form a stable framework with numerous activated hydrogen bonding sites. This structure enhances the material's ability to absorb microplastics through various interactions, including physical interception and electrostatic attraction. Research indicates that this foam can remove 98 to 99.9% of microplastics from water samples, showcasing its potential as an eco-friendly solution for addressing microplastic pollution. The episode emphasizes the importance of developing sustainable strategies for microplastic remediation in aquatic environments, while also highlighting the need for broader efforts to reduce plastic usage at the source.

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the pressing issue of plastic pollution and highlights a promising biological solution involving African mealworms. The episode focuses on the Kenyan lesser mealworm, a larval form of the Alphitobius darkling beetle, which has shown the ability to break down polystyrene, commonly known as styrofoam. This capability is attributed to the unique microbes and bacteria in the mealworms' gut. Researchers are studying these gut bacteria to identify specific communities that facilitate the degradation of plastic materials. Key findings from the research indicate that the mealworms can effectively digest polystyrene when provided with a nutrient-rich diet, such as bran, alongside the styrofoam. This balanced diet appears to enhance the production of the necessary bacteria and enzymes to break down plastic. The study revealed significant shifts in bacterial composition based on the mealworms' diet, suggesting that the gut microbiome adapts to optimize plastic degradation. The episode emphasizes the potential of harnessing these naturally occurring bacteria and enzymes for large-scale applications in plastic waste management, particularly in regions like Africa, where plastic waste poses significant environmental challenges. By isolating and utilizing these microbial communities, there is hope for developing innovative methods to biologically process plastic waste, reducing reliance on harmful chemical recycling methods. The podcast presents a hopeful perspective on using biological solutions, like the African mealworm, to combat plastic pollution and promote environmental conservation.

Engage to support our work.Devin: What is your superpower?Daniel: I'd say that I'm a multidisciplinary high achiever.In today's episode of Superpowers for Good, I had the pleasure of welcoming back Dr. Daniel Farb, CEO and Founder of Flower Turbines. It's been over five years since our last conversation, and the progress Daniel has made with his company is nothing short of remarkable.Flower Turbines isn't just about harnessing wind power; it's about doing it beautifully and efficiently, particularly in urban environments where traditional turbines would struggle. Daniel's vision for small, aesthetically pleasing wind turbines that operate quietly and efficiently has brought a fresh perspective to renewable energy.One of the most intriguing aspects of our conversation was Daniel's explanation of their patented "bouquet effect." This innovation allows their tulip-shaped turbines to be placed close together, enhancing each other's performance—something unheard of with traditional large wind turbines. As Daniel aptly put it, “When you have winds, you can collect [energy] 24 hours a day... We're the only ones that can place turbines close together, and ours have this great benefit so that we can make better use of tight spaces than anybody else can.”This ability to optimize space without sacrificing efficiency could be a game-changer, particularly for off-grid power solutions. Moreover, Flower Turbines' products are bird-friendly, quiet, and designed to be integrated with solar and battery technologies, offering a comprehensive energy solution.Daniel's passion for innovation, backed by a robust portfolio of patents, is driving Flower Turbines toward what could be a significant leap in the renewable energy market. As they move into mass production, the potential for impact is tremendous, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes them next.Flower Turbines is raising capital from the crowd via StartEngine.tl;dr:* Guest Introduction: Dr. Daniel Farb, CEO and founder of Flower Turbines, returns to the show after several years to discuss the progress and innovations in small wind turbines designed for urban environments.* Innovation and Progress: Dr. Farb shares how Flower Turbines has evolved from early-stage prototypes to manufacturing and selling turbines. They've made significant strides in aerodynamics and electronics, leading to unique products that perform better when placed close together.* Crowdfunding Success: Flower Turbines has completed five successful crowdfunding rounds on StartEngine, raising substantial funds from over 8,000 investors. They are now preparing for their sixth round.* Multidisciplinary Approach: Dr. Farb attributes his success to his ability to combine different fields of knowledge, from science and art to business, which has been crucial in developing innovative products and solutions.* Advice on Becoming Multidisciplinary: Dr. Farb encourages others to explore diverse interests, as these experiences often connect in unexpected ways, enhancing both personal and professional growth.How to Develop Multidisciplinary High Achievement As a SuperpowerDaniel's superpower is his ability to excel across multiple disciplines, combining creativity with scientific and business acumen. This unique blend allows him to approach complex problems from various angles, resulting in innovative solutions that bridge the gap between art and science, as well as between invention and marketing.Daniel exemplifies his multidisciplinary superpower through the design of Flower Turbines' wind turbines. He drew on his diverse background—merging artistic inspiration with scientific rigor—to create beautiful, efficient turbines that are not only functional but also visually appealing. Additionally, he shared an anecdote about his work in e-learning, where he applied creative storytelling to teach complex pharmaceutical regulations, transforming a traditionally dull subject into an engaging, interactive experience.Tips for Developing this Superpower:* Pursue Diverse Interests: Follow your curiosity and explore different fields. Every skill or knowledge you acquire can connect in unexpected ways later on.* Combine Creativity with Discipline: Use both your creative and logical sides to approach problems. Don't be afraid to blend art with science or other seemingly unrelated disciplines.* Embrace Hard Work: Multidisciplinary excellence requires dedication. Be willing to work hard and push the boundaries of your abilities in multiple areas.By following Daniel's example and advice, you can make multidisciplinary high achievement a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDr. Daniel Farb (he/him):CEO and Founder, Flower TurbinesAbout Flower Turbines: Flower Turbines is an innovative small wind turbine company with the ambition to become a major global force in renewable energy. With over 30 patents, the company has solved the technology and design problems holding small wind back from being as large an industry as solar. One of its biggest innovations is the cluster effect, whereby the turbines, when placed close to each other correctly, make the whole group perform better. For example, four turbines together produce as much energy as eight separate ones.Website: flowerturbines.comX/Twitter Handle: @flowerturbinesCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/flowerturbinesInstagram Handle: @flowerturbines_usOther URL: startengine.com/offering/flowerturbinesBiographical Information: School, Degree, Year2019:         NSF Innovation Corps Certification by NYCRIN, New York2011 and 2012:     Course Series: Executive's Guide to Patent Strategy, Herzliya, Israel, taught by Finnegan law firm and the University of Haifa1999 – 2001:         Courses at UCLA School of Business and Management. - Program in International Trade and Commerce.
