This week's guest features Phil Costa, a former Offensive Lineman for the Dallas Cowboys and the newest member to the WCRE team.

On this week's episode, Brian Propp, former Philadelphia Fyler and current WCRE director of strategic development sits down with Ty to discuss his career highlights and his life after hockey.

On this week's episode of Broad Street Brokers, host Ty Martin and WCRE managing principal Jason Wolf are joined by Post Brothers President and co-founder, Matt Pestronk.

Carl is joined by his friend Jane Pigg, owner of the Cheraw newspaper called The Link as well as 93.9 MYFM and WCRE 1420 AM, on this episode of the Life in the Carolinas podcast. Jane got her start in media at a young age, watching her mother read the newspaper every afternoon until she was old enough to read it as well in addition to creating radio and television broadcasts for 4H in elementary school. She went to the University of South Carolina, where she received her degree in Journalism with a focus in Advertising and Public Relations, which helped propel her more into the broadcasting industry. She also figured out around this time that she could talk faster than she could write, so even though she has always loved the written word, radio was more her speed. Jane recognizes the power of media in spreading messages, including public service campaigns like the Chesterfield county clean up day this past May. Partnering with local government officials and businesses, WCRE organized litter clean up efforts and communicated the importance of keeping the county clean. There is still much work to do, but Jane has faith that people will begin to adapt their ways and reduce the amount of waste being strewn along our roads. While it seems that many major newspapers are struggling to make it in this digital world, Jane believes that local newspapers will always be around because people desire factual information about the community without much commentary. With syndicated news shows and social media’s reach also comes the negative consequences of having no legal precedents for slander or libel, rules that legitimate news sources must abide by. In her endeavors as a media owner in northern South Carolina, as a community member, and as the previous president of the South Carolina Broadcasters Association, Jane lives by the Rotarian motto of “service above self”, and she believes that the world would be a better place if more people lived that way.   Connect with Jane: http://www.thelinkpaper.com/2961/1342/1/this-weeks-issue https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-pigg-277b8719   Connect with us: http://www.lifeinthecarolinas.com/ https://www.lifeinthecarolinaspodcast.com/ Carl@lifeinthecarolinas.com

Hopefully this has never happened to you, but if it has, there are very few things worse than when the sewer backs up into your home.  In this week's WCRE episode, The Insiders welcome Greg Bailey of Apex Home Inspections, as they discuss the Dirt on Sewer Inspections.  Since the industry is mostly unregulated, there are many situations and opportunities for misleading and unfortunately, sometimes deceitful reporting.  A couple of take-aways are, attending the inspection, and hiring a company that conducts the inspections, but does not do the potential repairs. 

Peter Droege is an expert on the role of renewable energy within the fields of urban design, development and urban infrastructure with a wide variety of experience and responsibility. He has directed and developed Solar City, a research development effort conducted under the auspices of the International Energy Agency as well as carrying out academic roles at major universities in the United States and Japan. He is presently Senior Advisor, Beijing Municipal Institute for City Planning and Design, Steering Committee member, Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN), Conjoint Professor, School of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Newcastle, Visiting Professor and Director, Centre for Sustainable Urbanism, School of Landscape Architecture and Planning, Beijing University and Chair, World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE) Asia Pacific.The issues that drive his efforts are climate change-- caused in large part by burning fossil fuel--and energy security which is now in question due to Peak Oil. He speaks of the shackles" created by our current Industrial Revolution/fossil fuel based urban and socioeconomic infrastructures and the general environmental degradation, including personal health, caused by our current energy systems. Droege discusses how interconnected our life support systems are and how a total systems design approach must be applied as communities take on the transition from reliance on cheap energy from oil, with its multitude of subsidized, hidden costs. One example is the fact that half of all fresh water used in the U.S. today is used to cool oil and coal fired electric power plants. In today's world, he claims, many things seem upside down. It's more expensive to waste than save, but waste is more profitable. Efficiency must become a priority and profitable for individuals. We can't consume our way out of the problem either with a set of quick fix products or programs. We must reverse many of the "flows" which go out of our communities causing damage and decay. Many of the resources needed to make the changes to a renewable culture, can and should be freed up from current inefficiencies. We must change from our current toxic energy source. We can't consume our way out of the problem either with a set of quick fix products or programs. We must reverse many of the "flows" which go out of our communities causing damage and decay. Droege explains his vision of a new paradigm which replaces fossil fuel with renewable fuels as the energy foundation of our culture. This vision encompasses and goes beyond simple techno fixes to the heart of economic and cultural transformation. His vision realized will lead to real urban, social, environmental and economic reform, possibly revolution, by this transformation of our fundamental energy system. He gives examples from a variety of countries of a more self sufficient approach based on relocalization, community and individual empowerment, economic and social incentives and a basic reframing of what globalization is and how it may become a positive force.Interviewed at the Ecocities World Summit in San Francisco in April 2008.Websites of interest: www.solarcity.org, www.wcre.org (World Council for Renewable Energy).
