We hope you enjoy this bonus series as it came from you – our listeners!In this second episode of the series, Eric Benson welcomes Tish Tablan from Generation 180 to discuss how to “be the spark” to help install solar on your school. Tish shares her journey into sustainability, inspired by William McDonough, and her work at Generation 180 promoting clean energy solutions. They delve into the organization's programs like 'Electrify Our Schools,' which aims to help schools save and then reinvest their money in addition to teach sustainability by integrating solar energy. The conversation highlights successful solar case studies, the impact of school-based solar projects, and ways community members can advocate for solar energy in their local schools.

In der heutigen Zeit, wo die Rufe nach Nachhaltigkeit immer lauter werden, hebt sich der Cradle-to-Cradle-Ansatz als revolutionäres Konzept ab, das das Potenzial hat, unsere industriellen Prozesse und unseren Umgang mit Ressourcen grundlegend zu verändern. In diesem Podcast-Gespräch mit Albin Kälin, Geschäftsführer von epeaswitzerland, dreht sich alles um das Thema Mobilität aus einer anderen Perspektive: der Umgang und die Nachhaltigkeit von Materialien.  Cradle to Cradle, wörtlich übersetzt "Von der Wiege zur Wiege", ist ein Designkonzept, das von William McDonough und Michael Braungart in den späten 80er-Jahren entwickelt wurde. Es basiert auf der Idee, Produkte so zu gestalten, dass sie am Ende ihres Lebenszyklus entweder als biologische Nährstoffe in die Umwelt zurückgeführt oder als technische Nährstoffe vollständig in neue Produktionskreisläufe reintegriert werden können. Diese Vision, die auf drei grundlegenden Prinzipien basiert – Abfall ist Nahrung, Nutzung von Sonnenenergie und Förderung der Diversität –, zielt darauf ab, einen positiven Fußabdruck zu hinterlassen, anstatt lediglich den negativen zu minimieren. Albin kritisiert das aktuelle lineare Wirtschaftsmodell, das auf dem Prinzip "Von der Wiege zur Bahre" basiert, für seine Kurzsichtigkeit und Ineffizienz. Die Begrenztheit der Ressourcen, die Toxizität vieler verwendeter Materialien und die Endlichkeit unseres Planeten machen ein Umdenken unumgänglich. Die Cradle to Cradle Philosophie erkennt diese Herausforderungen an und bietet gleichzeitig einen Ausweg, der nicht nur nachhaltig, sondern auch zukunftsfähig ist. Innovation spielt eine zentrale Rolle im Cradle to Cradle-Ansatz. Produkte und Prozesse müssen von Grund auf neu gedacht werden, um eine echte Kreislaufwirtschaft zu ermöglichen. Albin hebt hervor, wie wichtig es ist, über den Tellerrand hinauszublicken und kreative Lösungen zu finden, die sowohl ökologisch als auch ökonomisch nachhaltig sind. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist die Marke Frosch, die eine kreislauffähige Verpackung entwickelt hat, die als leuchtendes Beispiel für das, was möglich ist, dient. Die Transformation hin zu einer Kreislaufwirtschaft erfordert das Engagement aller Stakeholder. Nicht nur Unternehmen, sondern auch Konsumenten, Gesetzgeber und Bildungseinrichtungen müssen sich beteiligen. Albin betont, dass ein kollektives Umdenken und Handeln erforderlich ist, um die notwendigen Veränderungen herbeizuführen. Der Cradle to Cradle Certified Zertifizierungsprozess bietet dabei eine strukturierte und transparente Methode, um Unternehmen zu unterstützen und zu belohnen, die sich auf diesen Weg begeben. Das Gespräch mit Albin macht deutlich, dass der Cradle to Cradle-Ansatz mehr als eine nachhaltige Praxis ist; er ist eine Philosophie, die darauf abzielt, die Art und Weise, wie wir über Produktion, Konsum und Abfall denken, zu verändern. Es ist ein Aufruf zum Handeln, der zeigt, dass eine positive Zukunft möglich ist, wenn wir bereit sind, alte Gewohnheiten abzulegen und mutig neue Wege zu beschreiten. Die Botschaft ist klar: Nur durch Innovation, Kooperation und den Mut, bestehende Systeme in Frage zu stellen, können wir eine Welt schaffen, die nicht nur überlebensfähig, sondern auch lebenswert ist. Mit Albin sind wir auch auf das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in der Automobilindustrie eingegangen. Doch das hörst du dir am besten selbst an.

Here Williams shares that the size of the action isn't the point. What matters is taking regular action. Small actions have a cumulative effect that is disproportionate to the individual effort they require. Together these millions of incremental steps lead to a tipping point.

Es geht nicht um reduce, reuse, recycle, sondern um rethink, reinvent, redesign", sagt Michael Braungart: Wenn wir unser Leben und Wirtschaften voranbringen wollen, dann nützt es wenig, bestehende Prozesse und Produkte so anzupassen, dass sie weniger schädlich sind. Stattdessen braucht es einen radikalen Kurswechsel: Wir müssen auf eine Art des Wirtschaftens und Lebens setzen, die Ressourcen erhält, statt sie zu verbrauchen. Mit seinem "Cradle to Cradle"-Konzept einer Kreislaufwirtschaft ist Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart ein weltweit gefragter Berater, Redner und Autor - gerade jetzt, in Zeiten des ökonomischen und ökologischen Umbruchs. In EVERY DAY COUNTS #071 haben wir ihn gefragt, wie Arbeit, Führung und Kollaboration sich ändern müssen, um ebenfalls zukunftsfähig zu werden - weg von den "weniger schlechten" Konzepten und hin zu den wirklich effektiven.

Summary: In the eighth episode of Season 10 of the Propcast, host Louisa Dickins is joined by Sonu Panda, the CEO of Prescriptive Data and Becca Rushin, the Director of ESG at Jamestown. Becca and Sonu discuss challenges in the industry including the impact of the current geopolitical climate and whether this will slow down the journey to net zero. Becca and Sonu share their career journeys to ESG and technology. In this episode you'll hear Sonu explain more about script data and how it improves sustainability in buildings. Becca talks about Jamestown's sustainability and social responsibility initiatives and shares information on their green program and charitable foundation. The key takeaway from this episode is that people want to work in healthy buildings and environments, however, achieving carbon neutrality through offsets is not enough. Instead, true science based approaches are what's needed to tackle the bigger issue of climate change.

I learnt about sustainability whilst I was studying environmental policy, from there I decided to go to the Netherlands to study sustainable development. Over the last ten years I have focused on putting systems into place that have evolved from the benchmarking of monthly utility performance to more robust energy management platforms. I first heard about Prescriptive Data through a friend of mine that worked there. I then sat on a panel with Sonu and listened to John Gilbert from Rudin talk about the evolution of the Nantum platform. [5:41] Sonu: How did you become CEO of Prescriptive Data and can you tell us more about the product? I have always been in the enterprise software business, when I had my son I started thinking about how I can work in a field that is fundamentally important to the world and what will have an impact, this led me to meeting Rudin Management. Prescriptive Data started as a project within the Rudin Management portfolio, we are now entirely independent. Our original premise was the idea that commercial offices exist to provide productive and comfortable workplaces, a big part of that is indoor air quality and thermal comfort. We used occupancy sensors so we could learn the rhythms of the building and correlate with the technology controlling the air quality in the buildings. This was the beginning of the Nantum OS. [12:33] Becca: Can you talk us through Jamestown's initiatives, what your strategy is and what you're working on at the moment? The Jamestown Green program and the Jamestown Charitable Foundation are ultimately about our efforts to reduce Jamestown's impact on the environment and support the communities where we own property and where we operate.  The Charitable Foundation was established to help host community events that benefit nonprofits. We invest in metropolitan centres and then support the nonprofits that make those cities more desirable places to work. The Jamestown Green program is for sustainability efforts. We look to find management practices and initiatives that help increase our net operating income, drive financial performance at our assets and make our assets more valuable  [16:45] Becca: Are there any other companies that you are piloting on the portfolio that are helping to reduce emissions more specific to ESG?  I've been focused on first just having a system in place, and over the last couple of years focusing more on the quality of the platform and matching specific tech solutions and providers with a specific type of asset. We have partnered with a company called Carbon Lighthouse, they identify energy saving products that the team then implements. They help back up those projections with their energy models and monitor the projects so they stay in place over the long term. [19:22] Sonu: What is the main challenge you face in the industry? Everybody is worried about the geopolitical situation, however I try not to think about it, largely because there is so much momentum around sustainability. I see a more widespread recognition that climate change is real, that achieving carbon neutrality through offsets is not enough and that true science based approaches are what's called for.   L – Touch on the main lessons you have learnt throughout your career. Sonu - The RHINO principle, keep your eye on the prize, there is an impact to be made, we are doing really important work and we must stay focused on it. M - Please give a mention to anyone / product / service. Becca -  I think that part of the reason that I've been successful is because I've been relentless about networking and finding partnerships. R – What has been the most  rewarding  aspect of working in PropTech? Sonu: The fact that we are working on something that is a shared concern and if we resolve it will be a shared benefit. E - What are you excited about in the future of PropTech?  Sonu answered earlier in the show: I'm excited about the transition towards net zero I've witnessed in the last six months. I think it's a great opportunity because people have realised something needs to be done.   Sponsors Launch Your Own Podcast A Podcast Company is the leading podcast production and strategic content company for brands, organisations, institutions, individuals, and entrepreneurs.

This is a book from 2022 that rethinks how we create products. Instead of designing things for cradle to grave, they should be designed for cradle to cradle.

Cities in Mind

Hello everyone!Our podcast series is back this week with an exciting episode about the power of regenerative design and what it means for cities across Asia.Wait, what is regenerative design?For more than three decades, architects, planners, designers and others shaping the built environment have been following and promoting sustainable design. In 1987, the United Nations' Brundtland Commission defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”Sustainability was introduced with good intentions and there has been important progress in terms of energy-efficient buildings, use of materials and resources, change management and general awareness. But overall, the sustainable design movement has fallen short of the progress needed to prevent substantial environmental damage and climate change. The concept has been so widely misused that it has lost its original meaning.As architect and circular economy advocate William McDonough observed, if we get to complete sustainability, we simply get to the point of being “100% less bad”.Our current trajectory in construction, energy use and resource consumption guarantees we will exceed 1.5°C global warming. Across the world, natural habitats continue to be destroyed at an alarming rate. There is a need for a paradigm shift and the language and terms we use strongly influence the way we tackle our problems. So enters regenerative design.The quest for sustainability has moved society forward in important ways, but we believe it is now time to embrace a new regenerative approach to design and development. As a globalized society, we urgently need to reach the turning point in human civilization where everything we do has a net positive impact on the environment. We contend that this is a transformation that is within our reach. It is time to shift from merely mitigating negatives to optimizing positives. We need to embrace approaches that restore ecosystems, reunite divided communities, and reciprocally enhance the interdependent health of people, place and planet – schemes that, in myriad ways, restore what we have lost and deliver compounding net benefits – actualizing regenerative potentials that are beyond the limits of what ‘sustainability' can imagine.Sarah Ichioka, Michael Pawlyn, Flourish: Design Paradigms for Our Planetary EmergencyI hope I got you interested in this approach because that's precisely what we will discuss in today's episode with Sarah Ichioka.Sarah is a strategist, urbanist, curator and writer. She is the Founding Director of Desire Lines, a Singapore-based consultancy for environmental, cultural, and social-impact organizations and initiatives. In previous roles, she has explored the intersections of cities, society and ecology within leading international institutions of culture, policy and research, including Singapore's National Parks Board, La Biennale di Venezia, LSE Cities, NYC's Department of Housing Preservation & Development, as Director of The Architecture Foundation (UK) and Co-Director of the London Festival of Architecture. Her new book Flourish: Design Paradigms for Our Planetary Emergency (2021) is co-authored with London-based architect Michael Pawlyn. It's a wonderful (and engaging) read which unpacks the possibilities offered by regenerative design.

In 2002, the architect William McDonough and the chemist Michael Braungart came up with a rather revolutionary idea. The duo had recently published their groundbreaking book, "Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things," and would go on to become leaders in the sustainability movement, In fact, they anticipated many aspects of what we today call the circular economy. But back in 2002, the architect and the chemist wrote an essay titled Buildings Like Trees, Cities Like Forests for a book called "The Catalog of the Future." Today, 20 years later, we return to that idea: Can buildings be like trees? This episode includes two segments. First, Metropolis editor in chief Avinash Rajagopal reads the introduction to Braungart and McDonough's essay. Then, we dive into Urban Sequoia, a proposal by the architecture firm SOM that takes giant redwood trees as the inspiration for carbon-capturing skyscrapers and cities.

Cradle to Cradle, une certification pour les produits circulairesC2C, Cradle to Cradle, du berceau au berceau, est une des premières certifications relative à la circularité. Un concept a été développé en 2006 par William McDonough, architecte et designer américain de renommée internationale déterminé à révolutionner la notion de déchet dans les métiers de l'architecture et du design.Applicable en théorie à tous les secteurs industriels, tous les produits, le concept vise à considérer chaque ressource utile à la confection d'un objet physique fini ou semi-fini comme utile à son tour en fin de vie via un réemploi, en tant que matière première ou un composant dissociable et biodégradable, enrichissant la biodiversité.Il s'agit d'une certification attribuée à un produit et non une marque, permettant ainsi d'inclure des marques non engagée dans la circularité. De fait, parmi les clients de cette certifications figurent des grands noms tels qu'Amazon, Lidl ou encore C&A, aux côtés de griffes sincèrement responsables. Ce constat nous amène à nous interroger sur la réalité du changement impulsé par ce type de certifications et in fine, leur utilité. La conclusion est toujours la même : le bénéfice est réel mais, si on salue l'effort, pas de recette ou de label miracle. Il faut aiguiser son esprit critique et ne jamais retirer les lunettes de la vigilance. On fait le point avec Christina Raab, récemment nommée Présidente de l'Institut Cradle to Cradle.

Sous son pseudo Recycolaure, elle fait de "l'upcycling créatif" : en gros, elle nous permet de nous réapproprier le cycle de vie de nos objets, de tisser du lien pendant qu'on leur réattribue une fonction, et d'apprendre à exercer une créativité dont on a un besoin crucial dans le monde d'aujourd'hui. Mais ce qui a aussi excité ma curiosité chez elle, c'est qu'elle me parle de rigoler ou de Dieu au détour d'une phrase, et que tout fait sens. J'ai eu envie d'explorer avec elle des sujets qu'on n'a pas encore abordés ici, la problématique de la pollution tout comme le rapport à la spiritualité, l'obsolescence programmée tout comme Tata Yvette (à qui je dédie cette épisode).
