 From Trash to Treasure: The Art of Conscious Living Through Recycling, Reusing & Kitchen Garden MagicJoin us on a transformative journey that proves sustainability isn't just about saving the planet—it's about reconnecting with the natural cycles of life right in your own home. In this enlightening episode, we explore the profound practice of giving new life to what others discard, turning everyday "waste" into abundance.Discover the Magic of Kitchen Scrap GardeningEver thrown away the end of a green onion, the base of celery, or the top of a carrot? What if we told you these "scraps" hold the power to become thriving plants on your windowsill or in your garden? We'll guide you through simple, accessible techniques for regrowing vegetables from parts you'd normally toss—including lettuce hearts, herb stems, potato eyes, ginger root, garlic cloves, and so much more. No fancy equipment needed, just water, soil, sunlight, and a little patience.You'll learn which vegetables regrow fastest (hello, green onions in just days!), which ones provide the most rewarding harvests, and the meditative joy of watching life regenerate from what seemed "finished." This practice isn't just practical—it's a daily reminder that nothing is truly waste, everything has potential, and nature's generosity is limitless when we pay attention.The Deeper Practice of Reuse & RecycleBut this episode goes beyond gardening tips. We explore the spiritual dimension of conscious consumption—how the act of reusing and recycling becomes a meditation on abundance versus scarcity, gratitude versus entitlement, and our intimate relationship with the Earth. When we choose to repair rather than replace, to repurpose rather than discard, we're making a statement about our values and our place in the web of life.We'll share creative ideas for transforming household items into new treasures: glass jars becoming planters or storage, old fabrics finding new purpose, composting as a sacred return to the soil, and the revolutionary act of simply buying less while appreciating more.A Barefoot Approach to Environmental StewardshipThis is sustainability stripped of guilt and preachiness—just practical wisdom, inspiring stories, and the gentle reminder that small, consistent actions create profound change. Whether you're a seasoned eco-warrior or just beginning to question your relationship with consumption, this episode offers accessible pathways to living more lightly on the Earth while growing more abundance in your life.Perfect for anyone who wants to reduce their environmental footprint, save money, reconnect with natural cycles, or simply experience the quiet miracle of watching a carrot top sprout new green life in a dish of water on their kitchen counter.Join us for this grounded, inspiring conversation that proves enlightenment isn't just about meditation cushions and mountaintops—it's also about dirt under your fingernails and the joy of creating something from "nothing."Would you like me to adjust the tone, length, or focus of this description?

This week on The Lexy Show, we're sitting down with the founder of Nostalgic Nooks, a Brooklyn-based creative venture transforming vintage electronics into cozy, one‑of‑a‑kind pet furniture. What started as a personal creative project—upcycling discarded radios and TVs into elegant pet beds—has grown into a beloved boutique that marries nostalgia, craftsmanship, and sustainability.  In our conversation, we explore how the brand was born at the intersection of retro charm and pure ingenuity, why preserving original vintage character matters, and how a playful idea became a thriving creative business. We dig into the tactile joy of breathing new life into forgotten objects and what it's like to build a community around something as whimsical and meaningful as pet furniture built from relics of the past.  We also discuss the emotional and environmental value of upcycling and how Nostalgic Nooks offers a new perspective on sustainable creative work—reminding us that the stories embedded in objects can live on in beautiful, functional ways. Whether you're a fan of vintage design, curious about sustainable creativity, or simply love hearing inspiring maker stories, this episode is a must‑listen.Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts heart, humor, and handmade magic.#TheLexyShow #NostalgicNooks #Upcycling #SustainableDesign #CreativeEntrepreneurs

Alors cette année, qu'est-ce que vous donnez comme objectif pour limiter votre impact sur la planète ?Mais pour ceux qui auraient l'intention de s'y mettre ou un début de motivation, voici quelques rappels et conseils que je vous laisse méditer en ce début d'année.Vous trouverez dans cet épisode les sujets abordés l'année dernière et les grandes conclusions des épisodes de 2025.

In this episode, Bard MBA student Sarah Bergman interviews Carrie Ellen Phillips, Partner at BPCM and sustainability policy advocate, and Erin Beatty, founder of Rentrayage, about the evolving landscape of sustainable fashion. They discuss how global disruptions are revealing which companies are truly committed to change, the promise of European textile circularity legislation, and why upcycling and dead stock sourcing are becoming easier to scale. Together, they make the case that sustainable fashion is becoming an inevitability, driven by falling costs and a younger generation demanding better.

Episode Summary A rice field does not look like the starting point for a scalable building materials company until you understand the economics behind it.   In this episode of Business For Good, Paul Shapiro sits down with Chris Guillmond, Founder and CEO of Modern Mill, to explore how discarded rice hulls are being transformed into ACRE, a wood like siding, decking, and trim product designed to replace old growth lumber. Chris explains why deforestation is a supply and demand problem, how Modern Mill cracked the manufacturing and adoption challenges that derail most composites, and what it takes to raise significant capital to build real infrastructure in the United States. The conversation covers circular economy manufacturing, competing with billion dollar incumbents, and why climate solutions scale only when they outperform existing systems on cost, durability, and ease of use.   Things You Will Learn Why most sustainable materials fail at adoption and how to avoid that trap How supply chain location determines whether upcycling works economically What it takes to scale a hard tech manufacturing business in a legacy industry   Tools and Frameworks Covered Supply chain proximity strategy to control logistics costs and reliability Adoption first product design for builders and contractors Capacity planning to scale manufacturing without breaking trust   Episode Timestamps 05:10 – Why rice hulls present a hidden opportunity in building materials 08:56 – Cracking the code on turning agricultural waste into scalable products 13:20 – Why most composites fail to replace wood 25:20 – How logistics and location shape upcycling economics 35:10 – Scaling capacity before demand fully arrives   #BusinessForGood #SustainableBusiness #CircularEconomy #ClimateSolutions #FutureOfFood

Silvia Zanelli"Deleuze con Peirce"Un equivoco impossibileOrthotes Editricewww.orthotes.comDeleuze, con tutta probabilità, non lesse mai direttamente la sconfinata opera di Peirce ed ebbe accesso solo ad un “Peirce di seconda mano”, attraverso le antologie di Gérard Deledalle. Proporre di lavorare all'intersezione fra Deleuze e Peirce non può che configurarsi dunque come un equivoco, e nella fattispecie come un equivoco ermeneutico. Se quello tra Deleuze e Peirce è in linea di principio un incontro impossibile, è proprio a partire da questa radicale discontinuità che ci sarà occasione di evidenziare delle soglie di continuità. A nostro modo di vedere Deleuze non dispone di una semiotica di stampo peirceano. Porremo dunque sullo sfondo quello che Deleuze ha scritto su Peirce nei suoi testi sul cinema per attualizzare invece ciò che in riferimento a Peirce è rimasto impensato nella penna di Deleuze. Ci avventureremo così nella “libreria concettuale” del non pensato deleuziano per riattivarne alcuni nodi problematici, nell'alleanza con Peirce. Il tentativo è quello di tenere insieme l'aspirazione cosmologica con cui entrambi guardano al reale, nonché una nuova immagine del pensiero, che vive nel rapporto mutuale fra virtualità e attualità, ovvero fra generalità ed individuazione. Il testo è un gioco concettuale che senza prendere troppo sul serio cosa Deleuze e Peirce hanno effettivamente detto, si colloca nel mezzo fra i due pensatori, con l'obiettivo di mostrare fino a che punto questa doppia deformazione possa reggere, dandoci alcuni indizi su come abitare il nostro contemporaneo.Una delle linee minori che attraversa, come un azzardo teoretico, tanto il pensiero di Peirce quanto quello di Deleuze è la necessità di proporre una visione globale e al contempo aperta del reale, unita alla complementare urgenza di offrire il terreno per una tale apertura entro un quadro che sia quello di una cosmologia in atto, colta nel suo divenire e di cui è fondamentale il senso di illimitatezza e crescita.Il tema della cosmologia in filosofia trova spazio per antonomasia ai margini del pensiero moderno, come una mosca bianca, e rappresenta una tappa minore presso cui soggiornare: all'ombra della metafisica e ai bordi dell'ontologia, sovvertendo i cardini della prima ed espandendo i confini della seconda, la cosmologia rappresenta cioè un terreno del pensiero di cui è ancora necessario comprendere la potenza, in senso spinoziano.La cosmologia ha un'esistenza chimerica, un carattere ibrido e una vocazione paradossale per il tutto, l'intero e la sua costitutiva e contradditoria apertura. Essa pensa al limite e il limite del pensiero, nella sua illimitatezza. Pensare l'universo o la dimensione naturante della natura – compito in linea di principio impossibile – significa mapparne l'articolazione aperta ed evenemenziale, seguirne le tracce, gli sviluppi e l'evoluzione, nella consapevolezza che non sia possibile ridurre l'universo ad un inerte e cristallizzato oggetto (di studi).Silvia Zanelli (Milano 1995), PhD in filosofia, è attualmente assegnista di ricerca presso l'Università di Bologna nell'ambito del progetto “Cult-up. Upcycling and Cultural Heritage”. I suoi interessi di ricerca riguardano il pensiero di Gilles Deleuze, di Charles Sanders Peirce e di Gilbert Simondon, con particolare attenzione per il rapporto tra pre-individualità ed individuazione. Al tema ha dedicato la monografia Con-fini. Deleuze, Simondon e il problema dell'individuazione (Roma 2023) e vari articoli scientifici.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

En décembre 2022, l'Ademe a publié un rapport sur les fêtes de fin d'année, ce qui englobe Noel et le jour de l'an.Outre le fait de collecter les chiffres clés, l'objectif de l'Ademe était d'évaluer les impacts environnementaux des consommations liées aux fêtes de fin d'année mais aussi identifier des tendances de consommation responsable.Ils ont passé au crible les différents postes : cadeaux, transports, décoration, alimentation et les déchets.Alors que faut-il retenir de cette étude ?

In this episode of FoodTech Junkies, host Sharon Cittone sits down with Marjolein Brasz, CEO of Foodvalley NL, to unpack what it really takes to move food innovation from ideas to impact.The conversation goes beyond startups and technologies to examine the structural challenges shaping today's food system, from fragmented value chains and misaligned incentives to consumer disconnect and policy gaps. Marjolein shares her journey from traditional industries into food system transformation, and explains why startups alone cannot drive change without collaboration across farmers, corporates, policymakers, investors, and consumers.Together, they explore how ecosystem thinking enables more resilient food production and consumption, the role of upcycling and circular practices, and why building markets, not just solutions, is essential. The episode also dives into the importance of cohesive policies, shared infrastructure, and incentives that support healthier diets, lower emissions, and economic viability across the value chain.This is a candid, systems-level discussion on how we stop working in silos and start building food systems that are resilient, equitable, and fit for the future.About Marjolein BraszMarjolein Brasz, CEO of Foodvalley, attributes her dynamic career progression to her ability and willingness to embrace discomfort and challenge the norm. After graduating from Erasmus University Rotterdam with a business degree, she ventured into the energy sector, working in traditional oil and gas before transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable materials. Her work experience spans various countries, and her global perspective enhances her ability to adapt and innovate in diverse contexts.Marjolein's previous roles taught her about systemic work—the idea that changing existing systems requires simultaneous progress in demand and supply. This involves recognizing change agents, fostering entrepreneurship, and navigating non-linear paths. These insights are now at the core of her leadership at Foodvalley, where she drives mission-oriented innovation for a sustainable food system.Episode Timestamps00:00 Introduction to food innovation and systemic change00:45 Meet Marjolein Brasz: from traditional industries to Foodvalley NL01:44 The core challenges facing today's food system03:53 Why systemic change requires collaboration across sectors18:48 Consumer awareness, demand, and market dynamics28:16 Upcycling, circularity, and sustainable practices30:09 Building consortia to enable food system transition31:35 Investing in long-term, systemic change32:01 What startups need from ecosystems to succeed33:33 Aligning corporate and farmer interests36:35 The role of policy and incentives39:18 Reconnecting people with food through education41:11 Global perspectives on food system transformation44:16 How big companies can drive meaningful change50:13 Lightning round: personal insights and reflections59:17 Final thoughts and future directions

How can a reusable pad company address education, employment, and environmental waste simultaneously? In this episode, Madhvi Dalal, founder of PadMad, talks about why and how she built a social enterprise to tackle period poverty in Kenya, a country where 65% of women and girls cannot afford menstrual products. This crisis leads to girls missing school and exams, forces them to improvise pads with unhygienic materials, and leaves them exposed to be taken advantage of. Madhvi walks us through PadMad's three-pillar focus: education, running workshops in schools and workplaces to break stigma and provide information. Empowerment, employing marginalised women to manufacture the pads. And environment, creating reusable pads from textile waste to reduce plastic pollution. You'll also hear how this model has scaled to impact over 150,000 people and prevented millions of disposable pads from polluting Kenya's environment.

Comment sommes-nous arrivés à devoir nous méfier de nos ustensiles de cuisine, de ce que nous mangeons et nous buvons ?

Autumn is here on the Talking Heads podcast - as the last vestiges of Summer in the garden dodge the wet and windy weather while trying to give the last hurrah before that inevitable but pleasantly seasonable slide into the hibernation of winter. But gardeners never sleep so Lucy and Saul are still out and about in their plots plying the horticultural trade they both love. So join them both for more horti-waffle and insights into the life of the modern, professional gardener.Saul returns from his holidays (technically he is actually still on them!) and Lucy drags herself away from that tropical border to come to the aid to a Dad with a Brassica Cage. Upcycling is the name of the game when it comes to protecting those Brussel sprouts, plus a few cub-scout worth knots! Also hedging is still dominating the gardeners day-job - when will the miles of foliage that needs trimming end! LinkedIn link:Saul WalkerInstagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show
