In this conversation, we dig into how reuse contributes to workforce development and economic opportunity - now and for future generations. Host Brooking Gatewood sits down with Matthew Luisier of r.World, a fast-growing reuse service provider, and Natasha Wayne with Reaching All Minds Academy, a charter school that has taken on the challenge of switching back to reusables as part of its STEM through sustainability educational mission. With recent data showing that reuse creates more and safer jobs than landfills and recycling — we ground this data in the stories of two people helping manage the shift to a reuse economy in very different ways.Resources: r.WorldReaching All Minds AcademyThe Role of Reuse in a Just TransitionReuse vs Single-use: EconomicsGet involved:Join the Reuse Solutions NetworkSupport Upstream to make sure these stories continue to be heard and the reuse economy continues to grow — thank you!

Die 2012 gegründete Driftless Glen Distillery folgt nicht nur einer "Grain to Glass" und "Zero Waste"-Philosophie, sondern hat von Anfang an alle abgefüllten Whiskeys selbst in der eigenen Destillerie hergestellt - also nie gesourced - und das obwohl diese seit jeher mindestens 5 Jahre alt sind. Wir sprechen über die Gründer, Produktionsweisen und Whiskeys der in Baraboo, Wisconsin gelegenen Destillerie, und erklären, wieso der regionale Bezug, der hinter dem Namen "Driftless Glen" steckt, einen direkten Einfluss auf die Qualität der Produkte hat.Und wie immer unternehmen wir einen Blick auf die Bourbon-Neuerscheinungen und News in Deutschland und den USA.

Marki fast fashion błyskawicznie kopiują trendy z wybiegów i dostarczają je do sklepów w rekordowym czasie, zachęcając konsumentów do częstych zakupów. Kolejna nowa kurteczka czy niepotrzebny, ale śliczny sweterek, kuszą atrakcyjnym designem i niską ceną, która z kolei jest wypadkową – tanich materiałów, niskiej jakości wykonania i intensywnej eksploatacji siły roboczej (najczęściej z krajów rozwijających się). Efekt? Nadprodukcja odpadów, zanieczyszczenie wód i gigantyczny ślad węglowy, czyli wszystko, co wiąże się z nadmiernym konsumpcjonizmem, o skutkach psychologiczno-społecznych nie wspominając. Jak wygląda cykl życia ubrań z sieciówek? Czy jesteśmy świadomi ekologicznych konsekwencji szybkiej mody? Jak działa recykling ubrań i czy rzeczywiście pomaga środowisku? Czym jest greenwashing i kiedy marki nadużywają haseł o ekologii? Co jest lepsze – kupować mniej, czy inwestować w recykling? Jakie rozwiązania systemowe pomogłyby ograniczyć odpady tekstylne? Co może zrobić konsument? Jak wybierać ubrania, by mniej szkodzić środowisku i co robić z tymi niechcianymi? O tym wszystkim opowiedzą ekspertki od zrównoważonego rozwoju w branży tekstylnej – Ewelina Antonowicz i Agnieszka Wąsowska-Telęga, pod czujnym okiem podcasterki, wykładowczyni, pasjonatki kultury Małgosi Zmaczyńskiej.

In this episode of Que Bola, I had the pleasure of speaking with Caiti Waks, a passionate nonprofit organizer dedicated to ocean conservation through her organization, Debris Free Oceans. Our conversation delved into the pressing issue of waste management and the urgent need for a shift towards a zero-waste lifestyle, particularly in Miami-Dade County. We kicked off the episode by discussing Caiti's background and what inspired her to dedicate her life to environmental advocacy. Growing up in South Florida, she developed a deep love for the ocean, which was further solidified by a transformative experience in Nicaragua, where she witnessed the harsh realities of waste management in impoverished communities. This eye-opening moment propelled her to take action, leading her to establish environmental initiatives during her high school years and eventually pursue a career focused on ocean conservation. Caiti explained the concept of zero waste, emphasizing its aspirational nature and the importance of fostering a circular economy. We explored the challenges of implementing sustainable practices in a consumer-driven society, where single-use plastics dominate. Caiti shared her optimism about the incremental changes happening in Miami, highlighting the growing awareness and demand for sustainability among consumers and businesses alike. Throughout our discussion, we tackled the complexities of engaging diverse communities in environmental efforts, particularly those facing economic hardships. Caiti stressed the need for inclusivity in the conversation around sustainability, ensuring that all voices are heard and that solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of different neighborhoods. We also touched on the innovative programs Debris Free Oceans is spearheading, such as the Zero Waste Miami initiative, which aims to unite businesses, nonprofits, and government entities to collaborate on waste reduction strategies. Caiti shared insights into their mentorship program for college students interested in ocean conservation and the various community events they host to raise awareness and foster connections among like-minded individuals. As we wrapped up the episode, Caiti's passion for her work was palpable, and her belief in the power of collective action left me feeling hopeful about the future of our oceans and the environment. This conversation not only highlighted the importance of individual responsibility in combating waste but also showcased the potential for community-driven solutions to create meaningful change. Join us for this inspiring episode as we explore the intersection of creativity, entrepreneurship, and environmental stewardship with Caiti Waks from Debris Free Oceans.

Meredith Lindvall earned a BS in Environmental Science and a Master of Public Health in Environmental Health both from Emory University. She has a passion for the relationship between people's health and their environments that has led to a commitment to careers in the environment. An Atlanta native, she has worked in the health research, environmental and sustainability departments at Emory Pediatric Pulmonology, Delta Air Lines, The Home Depot and Cox Enterprises where she currently serves as the Assistant Vice President of Waste, Water, Nature & Biodiversity. Meredith joined Cox in 2011 and led Cox's recent industry leading achievement of Zero Waste to Landfill by 2024. She currently serves on the board of LiveThrive Atlanta, who operates the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, and as Secretary of the Board of the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation. Meredith Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Steps to achieving 90% waste diversion rate Employee engagement strategies and initiatives, including translating zero waste to KPIs  Cost benefits of moving to zero waste Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Meredith's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? My advice is to meet people where they are. The reason that's important is because you are trying to gain buy-in. If you can put yourselves in their shoes, figure out why they should care, you can translate sustainability to a really wide range of audiences. Think about, when you're not talking to sustainability professionals, how can you translate what your mission is into a way that this person can be passionate about it? Whether that is a time savings, whether that's that they like to go out on the weekends with their grandkids and learn about the environment, they want to deliver financial savings, they want to have a different relationship with their supplier. I would encourage you to carve out time to think about your audience and meet them where they're at and then bring them on that journey with you. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? I am excited that the sustainability world is really rapidly expanding past carbon to add things like biodiversity and nature that really, for me, connect our why back to nature and ecosystems and the planet. You heard me say up top that that's really where my passion has been. We're really interconnected, the environment, humans and the planet and species. I'm excited to see biodiversity goals and some of these other things that are really more closely connecting the dots between climate change, species, habitat, and traditional environmental work that, in my opinion, has been a little bit siloed. I'm excited about those coming together. What is one book you'd recommend sustainability leaders read? I'm guessing everyone's read Green to Gold, so for a more current one, I would say Drawdown, which builds on Paul Hawkins' work in the ecology of commerce and really breaks it into truly actionable steps that we as a society can take to combat climate change in the next 50 years. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? Knowing that your audience are experts in this field, some I'm sure they've been to themselves, but I would say GreenBiz, which is now Trellis, Sustainable Brands, Environment+Energy Leader, in-house tools. Big helpful things for us have been to gamify the actions that we want employees to take. Whether that is an in-house tool or an off the shelf tool, I would just encourage people to look at what can you do to amplify your work given that sustainability teams are often very small. One that I did want to throw out there that folks might not be as familiar with, but again where my passions intersect, is the National Association of Environmental Managers, which really, from my perspective is connecting the environmental health and safety and sustainability work together. As sustainability becomes more regulated and compliance based, I really see a lot of synergy there in that association. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work being done at Cox? Listeners can go to coxenterprises.com and look under the Our Impact tab and there you can see our impact report. You'll see a call out on all of our sustainability work where you'll be able to check out the zero waste to landfill achievement, our water work, our carbon work, and then you'll also be able to look at our social impact impact work there as well for 34 by 34. You can find me on LinkedIn, Meredith Lindvall.

Practical progress toward a sustainable lifestyle, whether you are an individual or a business, will always be unique to your situation, but you can base your choices on lessons learned by others. Tune into a conversation with Sarah Currie-Halpern, Co-Founder of Think Zero LLC, a consultancy that helps businesses, institutions, and households reduce waste and embrace sustainable practices. With a focus on practical, actionable solutions, Sarah and her team work to make sustainability accessible to many clients. Sarah shares travel tips to keep in mind to reduce your impact on the ground in other cities and countries. Taking a water bottle, reusable utensils, and a coffee cup can eliminate the single-use stuff you'll find at many hotels and resorts. Check out Ecohotels.com and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council's guidance. You will discover insights that can pierce the veil of greenwashing by travel marketers with the information you find there.Sarah draws on her waste management work in the office of the Mayor of New York to discuss the potential for applications of artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the flow of materials to landfill. According to several studies, AI could consume up to 10% of electricity generated by the end of the decade. AI can be a powerful tool, but many companies focus on delivering trivial consumer convenience using the technology. Finding your next favorite social video or saving the effort involved in changing the channel on your TV are not worthwhile applications of technology that could be applied to, for example, developing fire suppression materials that are free of the toxins and heavy metals dumped in waves of red on cities in the Los Angeles basin amid this year's wildfires. We can and will use AI to invent new, sustainable materials, sort reusable materials out of the waste stream, and much more. Still, we should not see every question humans pose, like “What's on TV tonight?” handed to AI to resolve. If information is the new oil, we can use AI more judiciously than we did with petroleum during the Industrial Age.

Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without a trash can? Here in the US, we don't think much about what happens to stuff once we're done with it. Indeed, American infrastructure isn't equipped to properly handle waste, and our wonton wastefulness on the cultural level exacerbates the climate crisis. It's entirely possible to take matters into your own hands by stepping up as a change maker.

*) Gaza faces its gravest humanitarian crisis amid Israeli war — UN The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees has raised alarms over the dire conditions in Gaza, where thousands of children are hospitalised due to acute malnutrition. Louise Wateridge, UNRWA's senior emergency officer, told reporters in Geneva that Gaza now has the world's highest number of child amputees, with many surgeries being conducted without anaesthesia. She added that a lack of medicine and medical equipment is causing preventable deaths, as health workers on the ground struggle to treat patients with basic care. *) Israel gives ultimatum to Palestinians in northern Gaza to flee The Israeli army has issued an ultimatum to Palestinians in southeastern Jabalia, northern Gaza, demanding they evacuate ahead of a planned assault. Army spokesperson Avichay Adraee claimed the area is a launch site for rockets fired at Israel and warned residents to move to "shelters in central Gaza City." *) New Syria govt won't recognise PKK/YPG terror group's authority — Fidan Türkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said that Syria's transitional government will not have ties with the PKK/YPG terror group, adding Ankara's embassy in Damascus will resume work on Saturday. Fidan told private broadcaster NTV on Friday that Syria now has a "sovereign national government" capable of reclaiming its territory, arguing that this government would not recognise the authority of either the PKK/YPG terror group or "any other power" on its soil. The goal is to have a structure in Syria where terrorism does not exist, terror organisations like the PKK/YPG and Daesh do not receive support, minorities are not mistreated, and basic needs are met, Fidan added. *) Canada vows to hit back hard if US imposes tariffs Canada will respond forcefully if the incoming Trump administration follows through on a promise to impose tariffs on imports from Canada, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Freeland, and the 10 provincial premiers have held two recent phone calls to coordinate strategies against a potential 25% tariff on Canadian imports. "If the United States imposes unjustified tariffs, Canada's response will be robust and effective," Freeland told reporters, emphasising Ottawa's readiness to defend its trade interests. *) First Lady Erdogan urges global unity to fight climate crisis at UN meeting First Lady Emiine Erdogan has chaired the third UN Advisory Board of Eminent Persons on Zero Waste at Istanbul's Presidential Dolmabahce Office. In her opening remarks, Erdogan called for global unity to address the climate crisis and waste management issues, emphasising the urgent need for collective action.

This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are sharing the part two special episode in acknowledgment of the annual Buy Nothing Day movement with the award-winning author of The Zero-Waste Chef, Anne-Marie Bonneau. Join us as Anne-Marie and Thomas explore what motivated her plastic-free journey, the ever-growing planet's plastic pollution problem, where most of our day-to-day trash comes from, practical tips for decreasing waste in the kitchen, and the importance of continuing the conversation surrounding the Buy Nothing Day movement. As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are invaluable to our podcast. Please send us an email at podcast@mountainroseherbs.com to let us know what solutions we should uncover next within the vast world of herbalism.  What is Buy Nothing Day you ask? Well, please allow us to explain!  Buy Nothing Day is our annually celebrated tradition in protest of Black Friday. In making this stand, we are joining tens of thousands of people across 65 nations for an international day of protest against mass consumerism and the throw-away culture that accompanies it. The Buy Nothing Movement has been growing since 1992 as overconsumption continues to consume our precious natural resources faster than we can replace them, putting our planet in real jeopardy. If you visited our website last week, you likely noticed that our website was blacked out in protest of Black Friday. Although this “sale holiday” has since passed, it is crucial to continue the conversation surrounding the impacts mass consumerism has on our planet 365 days a year. We encourage our listeners to keep the buy nothing ball rolling by spreading acts of kindness, discovering new zero-waste kitchen tips from the Zero-Waste Chef Blog listening to your favorite podcast (bonus points if it's this one!), or better yet, all of the above! The Buy Nothing Day movement is all about reaching for the meaning in our lives instead of stuff, and we thank you all for being part of the solution to reestablish a symbiotic relationship with our earth.   Learn more about Anne-Marie & Zero-Waste Chef below!        Anne-Marie Bonneau is an award-winning cookbook author, speaker, fermenter and sourdough baker who has lived a plastic-free lifestyle since 2011. Through social media, her blog and her book, The Zero-Waste Chef: Plant-Forward Recipes and Tips for a Sustainable Kitchen and Planet, Anne-Marie shows others how reducing their trash not only benefits the planet but also satisfies their taste buds, improves their well-being and boosts their bank accounts. As a Canadian transplant, Anne-Marie has two grown daughters and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and sourdough starter.

As Dr. Manasa Mantravadi, pediatrician and founder of the reusable foodware company Ahimsa®, points out—schools need data to make decisions. The Conscious Cafeteria Report, produced by Upstream and Ahimsa, is the latest evidence-based study projecting the environmental and financial impact of switching to reuse in K-12 schools, while robustly making the case for transitioning away from single-use foodware to protect children's health. Upstream's Macy Zander sits down with Dr. Mantravadi and Data Science Specialist Madhavi Trikha to break down the findings of the report as well as challenges and opportunities inherent in switching to reuse for schools. Spoiler alert: across geographies, demographics, and school set-ups—reuse wins, every time. Resources: The Conscious Cafeteria Reportahimsaschools.com ReThink Disposable Case Study: Palo Alto School DistrictCenter for Environmental Health (CEH)StopWaste Plastic Free RestaurantsReuse for Onsite Dining LibraryReuse Solutions Network (RSN)
