Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S25) Qabeesa (r.h): “I saw no one more learned in the Qur'an than Umar رضي الله عنه. He was the most discerning. No one was more generous than Talha رضي الله عنه. He gave without being asked. Muawiya رضي الله عنه was the most forbearing. He is inwardly as he is outwardly. I saw Amr Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه. None is gentler or nobler than he. If there was a city with 8 gates, al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه would figure out how to get out of each one [i.e a sly genius]”. Talha رضي الله عنه: “I feel shy that a man loses hope in me and I let him down”. Abundant Zhikr and Sadaqah: these 2 deeds build a special link with Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى. The Messenger ﷺ: “Love for wealth grows hypocrisy in your heart, just as water grows vegetation”.

Mitten in der Lese nimmt sich Anna Reimann vom Weingut Cantzheim ein paar Minuten Zeit, um im Gespräch mit Wolfgang Staudt einen ersten Eindruck vom Jahrgang 2025 an der Saar zu geben. Nach dem Frostjahr 2024 startete die Saison mit Zuversicht und üppigem Fruchtansatz, begleitet von einer vitalen, grünen Vegetation. Doch kurz vor der Ernte kam der Regen – und damit der Druck, schnell und präzise zu lesen. Anna erzählt, wie sie und ihr Team reagiert haben, warum sie den Jahrgang trotz aller Herausforderungen als „saftig, klar und typisch Saar“ beschreibt – und wieso 2025 für sie ein richtig guter Jahrgang mit großer Bandbreite wird: vom Cremant-Grundwein bis zur Auslese. Ein spontanes, ehrliches Erntegespräch über Entscheidungen unter Zeitdruck, Fingerspitzengefühl im Weinberg und das Glück, endlich wieder volle Keller zu haben.

Chinese visual artist Cai Guoqiang and outdoor brand Arc'teryx apologized on Sunday for staging a fireworks display in the Himalaya Mountains that drew widespread criticism over its potential impact on the Xizang autonomous region's high-altitude ecosystem. Local authorities have announced an investigation into the event.中国视觉艺术家蔡国强与户外品牌始祖鸟于周日致歉。此前，二者在喜马拉雅山脉举办烟花秀，该活动因可能对西藏自治区高海拔生态系统造成影响而广受批评，目前当地有关部门已宣布对此次事件展开调查。On Friday, Cai ignited three sets of fireworks at an altitude of about 5,500 meters in Gyalze county in Xizang's second-largest city of Shigatse, as part of his art project, Ascending Dragon. The show, which was designed to symbolize vitality and auspiciousness in Chinese culture, used chemical elements the organizers claimed were biodegradable and verified by international tests during past events.上周五，蔡国强在西藏第二大城市日喀则的江孜县，于海拔约5500米处点燃三组烟花。此次烟花秀是其艺术项目《升龙》的组成部分，旨在象征中国文化中的生机与吉祥。主办方称，烟花所使用的化学物质具有生物可降解性，且在以往活动中已通过国际测试验证。However, the video of the fireworks, which was released on Saturday, triggered a heated debate online, with critics questioning whether the fireworks disturbed wildlife, damaged vegetation, or polluted the high-altitude ecosystem.然而，该烟花秀视频于周六发布后，在网络上引发激烈争议。批评人士质疑，此次烟花秀是否惊扰了野生动物、破坏了植被，或是对高海拔生态系统造成了污染。In a statement posted on his official WeChat account on Sunday, Cai said that he and his studio have taken the public's concerns seriously and "humbly accept all criticism of our artistic creation".周日，蔡国强在其官方微信公众号发布声明表示，他与工作室高度重视公众关切，“虚心接受针对此次艺术创作的所有批评”。"We indeed overlooked many aspects, and I deeply apologize," he said, pledging to work with local authorities and third-party agencies to assess the environmental impact of the show and, if necessary, take remedial measures.“我们确实在诸多方面存在疏漏，我深感歉意。”他说道，并承诺将联合当地有关部门及第三方机构，对此次活动的环境影响展开评估，必要时将采取补救措施。Arc'teryx, which is owned by Finland-based Amer Sports and partly controlled by China's Anta Group, deleted the controversial video and also issued an apology for the branding activity, vowing to "sincerely accept all criticism and suggestions" and take corrective actions based on environmental assessments and public feedback.始祖鸟品牌隶属于芬兰亚玛芬体育集团（Amer Sports），且由中国安踏集团部分控股。该品牌已删除引发争议的视频，并就此次品牌推广活动致歉，承诺“真诚接受所有批评与建议”，并将依据环境评估结果及公众反馈采取整改行动。Authorities in Shigatse announced on Sunday that a team has been formed to investigate the fireworks event. The team was sent to the site for verification, and follow-up actions will be taken based on probe results, and in accordance with laws and regulations, they said in a statement.日喀则市有关部门于周日宣布，已组建专项团队调查此次烟花秀事件。相关部门在声明中表示，团队已赶赴现场核查，后续将依据调查结果，严格依法依规采取相应措施。Earlier, the organizers of the show had said that precautionary measures were taken to protect the local environment, including relocating livestock and herders, guiding away small animals with salt, and restoring meadows and farmland immediately after the fireworks. They emphasized that the event was assessed as having the "lowest risk level" in terms of both noise and light pollution.此前，活动主办方曾表示，已采取多项预防措施保护当地环境，包括转移牲畜与牧民、用盐引导小动物远离活动区域，以及在烟花燃放后立即对草地和农田进行修复。主办方还强调，经评估，此次活动在噪音与光污染方面均处于“最低风险等级”。However, environmental experts questioned whether such precautions were adequate for one of the world's most vulnerable ecological zones.但环境专家对这些预防措施能否保护这一全球最脆弱的生态区域之一提出质疑。"It's not scientific to use the smoke-testing result in low-altitude or urban environment as a reference for its impact on a high-altitude ecosystem," said Palden Tsering, an associate professor at Qinghai Minzu University.青海民族大学副教授帕尔登・次仁（Palden Tsering）指出：“以低海拔地区或城市环境中的烟雾测试结果，作为评估其对高海拔生态系统影响的依据，这种做法并不科学。”The cold and arid conditions in the Himalayas and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are known to slow down any decomposition process, raising doubts on whether the so-called biodegradable chemicals actually disintegrated quickly, Palden Tsering said.帕尔登・次仁表示，喜马拉雅山脉与青藏高原气候寒冷干燥，物质分解过程缓慢，这让人对所谓“可生物降解化学物质”能否快速降解产生疑问。The expert also cautioned that fireworks residues might leach harmful chemicals into alpine meadows or water sources. "Such impacts may last for years and should have been considered beforehand."这位专家还警示，烟花残留物可能会使有害化学物质渗入高寒草甸或水源。“此类影响可能持续数年，本应在事前就充分考虑到。”The organizers' attempt to use salt feed to drive away animals already suggests that the fireworks display was likely to disturb local wildlife, he noted. "Salt bricks have no odor and are not conspicuous, making it difficult to imagine how they could effectively 'repel' small animals such as pikas," he added.他指出，主办方试图用盐饲料驱赶动物，这一行为本身就说明烟花秀可能会惊扰当地野生动物。“盐砖无气味且不显眼，很难想象它能有效‘驱赶'鼠兔等小型动物。”Gu Yourong, a council member of the China Wild Plant Conservation Association, explained the challenges involved in restoring alpine meadows if the fireworks actually caused damages.中国野生植物保护协会理事顾有容解释道，若烟花秀确实对高寒草甸造成破坏，后续修复工作将面临诸多挑战。"The topsoil on alpine meadows is just a 10-centimeter-thick turf layer. Once damaged, it cannot regenerate easily, because below it lies infertile rock debris. Vegetation could take decades — even centuries — to recover," Gu said.顾有容表示：“高寒草甸的表层土壤仅是一层10厘米厚的草皮层，一旦受损便难以再生，因为其下方是贫瘠的岩石碎屑。植被恢复可能需要数十年，甚至数百年时间。”Despite the apologies, many netizens called the fireworks display reckless, saying that it clashed with Arc'teryx's branding as a nature-respecting outdoor brand.尽管涉事方已致歉，仍有不少网友认为此次烟花秀行为鲁莽，称其与始祖鸟“尊重自然”的户外品牌定位相悖。The company has seen rapid growth in recent years. According to Amer Sports' 2024 annual report, the brand's revenue surged 36 percent last year to reach $2.19 billion.近年来，始祖鸟品牌发展迅速。根据亚玛芬体育集团2024年年度报告，该品牌去年营收同比激增36%，达到21.9亿美元。Media reports said an application for organizing the fireworks had been filed with the local ecology and environment bureau. Multiple government meetings were held in advance to study the site selection and assess nearby wildlife presence, according to the reports.有媒体报道称，活动主办方此前已向当地生态环境局提交烟花燃放申请。报道还提到，相关政府部门事前多次召开会议，研究活动选址，并对周边野生动物分布情况进行评估。The final site did not fall within any ecological protection zone and had no residents living nearby, and so far, no ecological damage has been detected, a local official said.一位当地官员表示，最终确定的活动地点不在任何生态保护区范围内，且附近无居民居住。截至目前，尚未发现生态破坏情况。biodegradableadj.可生物降解的/ˌbaɪəʊdɪˈɡreɪdəbl/residuesn.残留物；残渣/ˈrezɪdjuːz/leachv.过滤；/liːtʃ/

A desolate, white, freezing cold land mass, with millions of penguins and seals but no human beings, no permanent settlement by our species, not unless one counts the scientific stations established in the mid of the last century or so.The Arctic was inhabited for many centuries before the Vikings ventured to Greenland. These people survived and thrived even on occasion! Of course the Antarctic is so much more extreme than the Arctic. And so far and isolated from any other place. But explorers, navigators, and sailors from European Colonial powers who were brave enough, curious enough and driven by some bizarre desire to be the first to reach the south pole or explore the continent from one end to the other, these humans had to learn how to first survive in these extreme, inhuman conditions! And learn, copy, improvise and improve from societies and nations who lived in similar conditions…These adventurers needed to survive for months, many many months on end on ice! Perhaps without ever reaching for outside help. And of course food is paramount!

Transkript: Wenn sich die Umweltverschmutzung in den Städten weiter verschlimmert, zahlt die Menschheit einen hohen Preis. Dieser Preis betrifft unsere Gesundheit, die Wirtschaft und unser gesamtes städtisches Leben. Städte sind Zentren für Menschen und Wirtschaft, aber sie sind auch Orte, an denen die Umwelt stark belastet wird. Gesundheitliche FolgenDie größte Gefahr durch städtische Umweltverschmutzung ist der negative Einfluss auf unsere Gesundheit. Luftverschmutzung durch Abgase von Autos, Fabriken und Heizungen führt zu Atemwegserkrankungen wie Asthma und Bronchitis. Feinstaub, der besonders klein ist, kann tief in unsere Lungen eindringen und sogar Herzkrankheiten und Krebs verursachen. Die Luftqualität in vielen Metropolen ist schon jetzt schlecht, und eine weitere Verschlechterung würde zu mehr Krankheiten und einer höheren Sterblichkeitsrate führen.Auch Lärmverschmutzung ist ein ernstes Problem. Ständiger Verkehrslärm und andere Geräusche können zu Stress, Schlafstörungen und sogar Bluthochdruck führen. Auch das Trinkwasser kann verschmutzt werden, zum Beispiel durch Industrieabfälle oder Plastikmüll. Dies erhöht das Risiko für Magen-Darm-Erkrankungen und andere Krankheiten.Wirtschaftliche KostenDie steigende Umweltverschmutzung hat auch hohe wirtschaftliche Kosten. Wenn mehr Menschen krank werden, steigen die Ausgaben für das Gesundheitssystem. Die Produktivität in Unternehmen sinkt, weil Mitarbeiter häufiger fehlen. Auch der Tourismus kann leiden. Wer möchte schon Urlaub in einer Stadt machen, in der die Luft schlecht ist und der Müll auf den Straßen liegt?Zusätzlich müssen die Städte viel Geld ausgeben, um die Umweltprobleme zu lösen. Dazu gehören Investitionen in bessere öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, die Reinigung von Gewässern oder der Bau von Kläranlagen. Diese Kosten könnten stattdessen für andere wichtige Dinge genutzt werden, wie zum Beispiel für Schulen oder Parks.Verlust von LebensqualitätEine weitere Folge der Umweltverschmutzung ist der Verlust an Lebensqualität. Grünflächen und Parks, die uns Erholung bieten, werden durch Bebauung und Luftverschmutzung kleiner. Ständiger Lärm und eine schmutzige Umgebung machen das Leben in der Stadt unangenehmer. Das führt oft dazu, dass sich Menschen weniger wohlfühlen und gestresster sind.Auch das Klima in den Städten wird beeinflusst. Der sogenannte „Wärmeinseleffekt“ lässt die Temperaturen in Städten höher steigen als in der Umgebung. Dies liegt an den vielen Gebäuden, Straßen und der geringen Vegetation. Wenn die Verschmutzung zunimmt, wird dieser Effekt noch stärker.Fazit: Was können wir tun?Die Menschheit zahlt einen sehr hohen Preis, wenn sich die Umweltverschmutzung in den Städten weiter verschlimmert. Es ist wichtig, dass wir handeln. Das können wir tun, indem wir umweltfreundlichere Verkehrsmittel nutzen, wie Fahrrad, Bus oder Bahn, weniger Müll produzieren und Plastik vermeiden, Bäume und Pflanzen in Städten fördern.Jeder Einzelne kann etwas tun, aber auch die Politik und Unternehmen müssen aktiv werden, um unsere Städte sauberer und gesünder zu machen. So sichern wir eine bessere Zukunft für uns alle.

It's summertime, and for many of us that means a recreational trip to the beach or coast. Worldwide, billions of people live year-round near a coastline, and these settings can be responsible for everything from buffering storms and preventing sea-level rise to fishing, flourishing tourism, and trade. For all these reasons, the acceleration of coastal erosion is an important topic to understand. A couple years ago, we sat down with Jane Willenbring, a geoscientist who says that by studying what coastlines looked like long ago, we can better understand where they are headed and how to protect them. No matter where you live, we hope you'll tune in to better understand the forces behind coastal erosion.Have a question for Russ?

Line crews often encounter wildlife while working in the field and constructing and maintaining infrastructure in their service territories. For example, Cooperative Energy in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, discovered a threatened population of gopher tortoises in their rights-of-way (ROW). After applying herbicides and investing in an integrated vegetation management (IVM) program, the utility was able to dramatically increase the population of these tortoises and carpet their ROWs in native grasses and wildflowers. This article, which was authored by Logan Martin of Corteva Agriscience and Wes Graham and Brad Morris of Cooperative Energy, first appeared in the June 2025 Vegetation Management Supplement. T&D World partners with the Utility Arborist Association (UAA) to publish this supplement each June. If you have an idea for an article for the 2026 Vegetation Management supplement, a comment on this audio story or a suggestion for a future guest for the Line Life Podcast, please email Field Editor Amy Fischbach. I look forward to hearing from you!

Seit Jahrzehnten kämpfen die Sahraouis, das Volk der Westsahara, für ihren eigenen, unabhängigen Staat in der «letzten Kolonie Afrikas», der Westsahara. Gegen einen Gegner, der andere Pläne hat: Marokko. Es ist einer jener Konflikte, die die Welt fast vergessen hat. Gelöst ist er bei weitem nicht. «Es gibt ganz offensichtlich Menschen, die mehr wert sind als andere». Der Ingenieur Lehbib Mahjoub Abdelfatah sagt diesen Satz, ein bisschen verärgert und vielleicht auch verbittert. Wovon er spricht? Vom Wunsch seines Volkes, dass die Einhaltung des Völkerrechts nicht der «Realpolitik» weicht. Seit rund einem halben Jahrhundert lebt ein Grossteil der Sahraouis im Exil im Südwesten Algeriens, angeführt vom Frente Polisario, der politisch-militärischen Organisation der Sahraouis. Sie leben in einer der unwirtlichsten Gegenden der Welt: Wüste, so weit das Auge blicken kann, kaum Wasser, kaum Vegetation. Die Menschen hier sind Flüchtlinge, einst geflohen vor der Armee Marokkos, das einen Grossteil ihres angestammten Gebietes besetzte: der Westsahara. Seither warten die Sahraouis darauf, dass sie zu ihrem Recht kommen: dem Recht, selbst darüber bestimmen zu dürfen, ob sie in der Westsahara ihren eigenen Staat errichten oder zu Marokko gehören wollen. Sie warten. Und bereiten sich vor. Auf den Tag der Unabhängigkeit, den sie einst nahe glaubten, und der inzwischen weit in die Ferne gerückt ist.

How are utilities supposed to balance 1) strategic grid planning with 2) strong stewardship of the tree canopy we all rely on? It requires a new approach to vegetation management—one rooted in global information sharing that transcends competitive bounds. That's what today's guests—Dennis Fallon, Executive Director of the Utility Arborist Association, and Justin McQuistan, Corporate Partnerships Manager at the Arbor Day Foundation—are building. And this week, Kim & Lee getting the inside scoop on how they're doing it. Because trees and vegetation certainly can work in favor of utilities…it's just about the right tree in the right place. This episode serves as a roadmap for utility leaders who want to redefine their vegetation management approach to go from reactive to proactive. PLUS: The Arbor Day Foundation is giving away free trees. They'll plant one free tree for the first 200 Piloting the Future listeners who go to this link: https://get.arborday.org/innovationforce Thanks for listening, and go claim your tree now.

[00:00:00] Beth Vukmanic: Sustainable farming practices are essential to protect the environment, improve a long-term agricultural productivity and support healthy communities. [00:00:08] Welcome to Marketing Tip Monday with SIP Certified. We know that customers are looking for wines labeled as sustainable. While our longer form episodes help you learn about the latest science and research for the wine industry, these twice monthly micro podcasts will help you share your dedication to sustainable wine growing. [00:00:27] And this week's marketing tip, we're going to take a close look at three areas where regenerative farming practices make a big impact, including water management, soil health, and habitat preservation, [00:00:39] let's kick it off with water management. Water is one of agriculture's most critical resources. Sustainable farmers work carefully to both use water efficiently and protect quality. Anyone who has struggled to keep a plant alive knows that plants don't like too little or too much water and wine. Grapes are no different. [00:00:57] Regenerative farming practices incorporate moisture sensing technologies to help farmers determine irrigation needs when placed in the soil. These devices estimate how much water is available to the plant, and farmers can use this information to avoid both over and under watering their crops. [00:01:13] When it comes to rain, there's a greater impact than just irrigating the grapevines. Heavy rains can pull sediment, nutrients, and other farm inputs into neighboring water bodies. This causes imbalances in the water body ecosystem and could threaten the life within it. [00:01:28] Plant matter can remedy these issues. Roots of living plants spread underground act as a filter that holds sediment in place. Preventing it from exiting the property. Vegetation above ground slows water down as it travels and eases the impact of rain as it hits the ground. Furthering the anti erosion benefits. [00:01:46] The next time you drive past a vineyard, take a look at the plants growing in between the vine rows. Those cover crops are help protecting waterways. [00:01:55] Now let's talk about soil health. Healthy soil is the foundation for a thriving farm and a resilient ecosystem. Sustainable practices aim to keep soils rich in nutrients full of life and resistant to erosion for years to come, [00:02:08] rather than relying on guesswork. Farmers committed to sustainability conduct regular soil tests. This helps them make nutrient management plans that supply the plants with the food that they need without over applying fertilizer [00:02:22] and back to those cover crops. Healthy soils have a lot of life in them. Microbes, fungi and bacteria are key players in decomposition, helping to convert and transport nutrients that are vital to a healthy plant. [00:02:35] While cover crops are a fantastic way to enhance soil biodiversity, their benefits extend even further. They can provide refuge for beneficial insects, prevent erosion and improve water infiltration. [00:02:48] Let's talk about habitat preservation. The influence of farming extends beyond the fence line. Regenerative farmers recognize that their land is part of a larger ecosystem. Protecting natural habitats and promoting biodiversity are key components of responsible land management. Many farmers set aside areas of their property to remain wild or minimally disturbed. [00:03:09] These spaces serve as important refuges for wildlife and help preserve native plant and animal species beyond simply leaving areas undeveloped. Sustainable farmers often actively work to create and maintain habitats that encourage a diversity of species, including pollinators and beneficial insects. [00:03:28] They may also take special measures. To protect endangered species where applicable. [00:03:33] All of these regenerative practices are incorporated into the SIP Certified program. If you want to learn more about being a sustainable wine grower. [00:03:40] Check out SIP certified.org and sign up to complete the program as a self-assessment for free.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 382-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 19,861 on turnover of $8.6-billion N-T. The market ended the day down on Thursday, as the market fell into consolidation mode amid lingering concerns by investors about the impact of U-S tariffs on Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Taiwan FM and King unveil oil reserve facility project in Eswatini Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and Eswatini's King Mswati III have jointly presided over an unveiling ceremony for an oil reserve facility project Taiwan will build to enhance the energy resilience of its ally. Lin attended the ceremony marking The Strategic Oil Reserve Facility project as part of his ongoing visit to Eswatini. According to Taiwan's embassy in Eswatini, the oil reserve facility project is expected to be completed in three years and will ensure a 60-day fuel reserve for the kingdom. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says prior to (之前) attending the oil reserve facility project ceremony, Lin presented a letter from Lai and cows as gifts while meeting the king and queen mother. The foreign minister in the kingdom this week as a special envoy for President Lai Ching-te to pariticpate in the king's 57th birthday celebrations. Vegetation in Yangmingshan fire could take 1 year to recover The Ministry of the Interior says a fire that destroyed some 4.5 hectares of vegetation in Taipei's Yangmingshan could take about a year to recover. The fire broke out on April 14 near the Xiao-You-Keng Recreation Area and burned for about five hours - destroying silvergrass and portions of the Yangmingshan National Park's arrow bamboo forest. No deaths or injuries were reported. Authorities have said the fire was likely caused by air quality monitoring equipment belonging to the National Science and Technology Council installed at the site. Besides the vegetation, the fire also damaged various amenities (設施), including ropes, sand-filled barriers and several wooden posts along the forest trail. Total estimated damage caused by the fire is being put at between 1.7 and 1.8-million N-T. NATO chief in Washington for talks Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte is in Washington for talks with senior members of the Trump administration as Ukraine peace talks are stalling (停滯). He'll meet Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz at the state department on Thursday. Kate Fisher reports. Vatican Keeps Basilica Open Overnight for Mourners The Vatican kept the doors St. Peter's Basilica open overnight, as lines of mourners waited to pay their last respects (致敬) to the pope. Officials closed the basilica for just an hour and a half Thursday morning for cleaning, and by the evening that day, the Vatican says more than 90,000 people had paid their respects. After three days of public viewing, a funeral Mass including heads of state will be held Saturday in St. Peter's Square. The pope will then be buried in St. Mary Major Basilica, near his favorite Madonna icon. Namibia New President Announces Free Education Changes New Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has announced that her government will introduce free education at state universities and technical colleges starting next year. Nandi-Ndaitwah was sworn in as Namibia's first female leader last month. Namibia already provides free education in public elementary and high schools, though parents still typically have to pay for school uniforms, stationery, books, and hostel fees. There have been calls for years for all levels of education to be subsidized (補貼的) by the government in the country of around 3 million people in southern Africa. Two of Namibia's seven universities are state run and will offer free education under the policy. That was the I.C.R.T.

As a new year unfolds, 2025 has already brought devastating natural disasters. From blizzards to wildfires, climate chaos is impacting our neighbors and communities in real time. My heart goes out to the people of Los Angeles for the profound losses they suffered last month, and for the difficult path of rebuilding that lies ahead. This devastation brings to mind a tragedy that struck even closer to home in 2018.I remember driving through Oakland that year, watching ash fall from the sky as the Camp Fire ravaged Paradise, California. That fire, still the deadliest and most destructive in California's history, was sparked by vegetation coming into contact with power lines-- a common risk that, coupled with dry conditions, strong winds, and human activity, can ignite a wildfire. That same year, at least 17 additional wildfires in California were triggered by power lines.Across the country and around the world, utilities face ongoing challenges from vegetation. The diversity of trees and their unique characteristics make it difficult to forecast where or when they might encroach on power lines. Traditional monitoring solutions like trucks, helicopters, and even drones cannot effectively or cost efficiently analyze the nearly 7 million line-miles of transmission and distribution that cover the US alone. In response, Indra Den Bakker and Anniek Schouten founded Overstory in 2018 — a software company that partners with utilities to predict and prevent wildfires caused by vegetation encroachment. Powerhouse Ventures is proud to be an early investor in Overstory, joining the team in 2020 via their seed round. It's been inspiring to watch the company grow, even in the face of immense loss.Overstory's founding CEO Indra tragically passed away in October of last year after a devastating battle with cancer, but his vision lives on. In a world where climate risks are increasing, Overstory's work is more critical than ever. Today, Overstory's CEO Fiona Spruill and her team are continuing to manifest Indra and Anniek's vision to reduce wildfire risks and make our grid resilient. This episode is a tribute to Indra, Anniek, and all that they've built together.Sponsors:Watt it Takes is brought to you by Powerhouse Innovation.
