Podcasts about zero waste movement

The zero-waste movement is having a sustainable influence on fine dining. Dawn Dickinson tells you how in her preview of Maclean's Magazine. She also shares another article about a new Leonard Cohen exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario called “Everybody Knows.” From the December 1, 2022 episode.

We begin with a look at the ongoing war in Ukraine. We speak with a Professor of Policing and Security about the impact Ukrainian soldiers and everyday citizens are having against the powerful Russian Invasion – as reports indicate as many as 5 Russian Generals have been killed in just over 3 weeks. Next, we look at inflation in Canada, which is now trending at a 30 year high. We examine the causes of the price increases and what (if anything) can be done to bring in some sort of a ‘correction' to lower the cost of living for Canadians. It's been a big year for Alberta's film industry – just how big? MWSA Producer Reece Schafer had the chance to discuss the recent ‘boom' in film & television production in our Province with Blair Young – President of ‘ACTRA' Alberta. Finally, it's a chance to keep food out of landfill and money in your pocket. We hear details on how Calgary bakery “Canela” is making a difference by partnering with a group called “Too good to go Canada” and doing their part to promote the “Zero Waste Movement”.

For those who are a part of the “Zero Waste Movement” or those who simply want to take better care of our planet, we've often been told to “reduce, reuse, recycle.” There are recycle cans and drop-offs next to trash disposals in highly-trafficked places, such as restaurants and shopping centers. But how much of our waste actually gets recycled? While recycling old bottles and cans may temporarily relieve waste, it doesn't necessarily stop the issue of mass-producing new ones. So what if there was a better way to reduce waste in our communities? This week, I am joined by Petros Palandjian, Founder of Good Filling Company, a zero-waste, all-natural refill service for home-care and personal-care products. Good Filling Company brings convenience to the #ZeroWasteMovement by providing Bostonians with 100% all-natural, refillable products to make a positive impact. Fro During our conversation, Petros shares the strategy behind bringing focus and attention to reducing and reusing home products rather than simply recycling bottles. According to Petros, only about 9% of recycled goods actually get recycled. By providing refillable, all-natural, eco-friendly, and convenient household products, such as soaps, cleaners, and detergents, Good Filling Company is working towards making waste reduction readily accessible to all. Topics Discussed: The truth behind the recycling industry Shifting the focus towards reduction and reuse Why business isn't about making sales but building strong relationships Myths and misconceptions behind reducing, reusing, and recycling Partnering with companies to create space for sustainability and “zero waste” Connect with Good Filling Company: Website: https://www.goodfilling.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodFillingCompany/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfillingcompany/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petros-palandjian-358726a0/ Additional Resources: Cambridge Community Television: https://www.cctvcambridge.org/node/794402 Contact Good Filling Company: Call: 617-710-5981 Email: petros@good-filling.com Address: 100 Cambridgeside Pl F27, East Connect with Mark Condon: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BostonsBestPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bostonsbest_podcast/ About Boston's Best: “Highlighting successful businesses in and around Boston, MA.” Go behind the scenes with financial planner Mark Condon as he asks industry-leading experts to talk about their businesses throughout the state of Massachusetts.

I Have Know Chef Tu for many years and he is always surprising me with his delicious food and infectious positivity. He is so much more than a Chef, he is a teacher, spokesperson, film maker, advocate, leader, and a fuking incredible person who I am proud to call a true friend. Please be sure to watch Blood line his new documentary about being a child of an immigrant Vietnamese family growing up around food and where he is today. Tu is the real deal. Chef Tu's Vietnamese-California cuisine began garnering press and accolades, first in 2016 with his weekly pop-up dinners “AN - a Vietnamese Dining Experience.”; then in 2017 San Francisco Chronicle named him Rising Star Chef. In 2019, he was a featured contestant on Bravo's Top Chef Season 15 and invited to host ABC's Taste Buds: Chefsgiving which was nominated for a James Beard Award. As a first-generation, Vietnamese-American, food justice comes naturally to Chef Tu, who finds opportunities to use the medium of food as a vessel for meaningful work from cooking with incarcerated men in San Quentin; to his role as co-executive producer for Bloodline, a film about his family and food prejudice; to being a community ambassador in Oakland and working with the Oakland Asian Cultural Center. Tu's involvement with food recovery and the Zero-Waste Movement is something else he got from his mother: During the Vietnam War, when supplies were rationed, she learned, out of necessity, that corn silk could be dried and used as a tea or toasted, deep-fried, or sautéed to serve with rice. Chef Tu not only applies these Zero Waste principles in his own kitchen but he is also a James Beard Smart Catch Leader, recognized for promoting the use of sustainable seafood options; and an avid teacher, sharing the riches and lessons of his birthright through food.https://cheftu.com @cheftudavidphu Blood Line A First Kitchen Story

Jenica tells us how to reduce the amount of waste we produce, turning it into a fun and positive experience. We discuss a One Jar Challenge, which is a perfect way to identify some zero-waste starting points for you and your family. For example, have you tried a zero-waste banana bread that actually uses the banana peel, so none of the fruit gets wasted? Sustainable living is never boring, there is so much new to discover! 

Rebekah Saltzman is passionate about the Zero Waste Movement and uses her professional design skills to help her clients create organized and beautiful spaces for themselves and their families. She is the Founder of Balagan Be Gone and it's her mission to have her clients get the most out of their possessions and stress less about managing it all. What do you do with all of your loved one's things when they've passed on? Rebekah sheds some light and offers advice on how to tackle this in a way that still honors the person who has passed on.   Key Takeaways: When is it too soon or too late to get rid of something? Rebekah's mother passed away last year and her family is waiting for her to come back home to clean out the house. It's hard to declutter your house when it's filled with memories. You have all the memories you need in your heart. You don't need stuff to fill it up. There are only so many items you can have before it becomes less about the person and more about the clutter. Inheriting your loved one's items is like going on a journey. When Rebekah's grandmother died, her mother kept her stuff in the basement for years before she let anyone in her family have it. If you want to sit on these things for a year, that's okay. Give yourself a bit of grace and permission. Susan shares how she had to deal with her husband's things after he passed away. Find ways to repurpose some of these items. You can honor these items in some way and that can be a very healing process. What do you do when other family members get upset by what you do with someone else's items? The longer it takes you, the more difficult it becomes to close this chapter. How do you declutter your loved one's items without dishonoring them? Do you really — need — new stuff right this second? Where is this going to live in the house? Why is it important to declutter the house for yourself? Most people do not collect things that are valuable in any way. Should you sell your items or just give them away? Remember, be kind to yourself. It's going to take you time to get through it all.   Resources: Balaganbegone.com

Sustainability is multifaceted, and Zero Waste makes up one of these facets, gaining rapid popularity within the past decade. Whilst achieving zero waste in our highly urbanised and (generally) wasteful society may seem like a great achievement, we should really be worried over how we could abandoned such an environmentally and socially just ancient practice in the first place.This episode discusses the importance of Zero Waste, the need for us to decolonise the concept to decarbonise our economies and the key ways in which we can shift to a circular economy, with real life examples of how Zero Waste is carried out successfully. 

In this episode, Bailey chats with CEO of Bogo Brush and sustainability keynote speaker, Heather Mcdougall. They talk about what a efficient sustainable society could look like, the truth and value behind plastic, the privilege behind the Zero Waste Movement and how to stay sustainable during this holiday season. This is not just another episode about recycling as they go deep on topics that can be overwhelming to talk about while giving listeners real life examples on how to be more sustainable while also taking care of mental health.

In this month’s solo episode of Rainy Day Diaries, I talk about how learning about something new (an important cause in this case!) can quickly turn into a passion… or if you’re really lucky, can quickly turn into a reason you beat yourself up.I discuss the Zero Waste Movement and easy ways for all of us to eliminate trash.My favorite straw!My favorite silverware set! So cool story, this is one of the VERY FIRST episodes of the podcast I recorded when I was pregnant. I actually came up with the idea of this episode while at a networking event in St. Pete while being surrounded by plastic cups and pre-wrapped granola bars.In all honesty though, since I became a Mom, this has been WAY harder. WAY WAY harder. Mom Brain is a real thing, and I often can’t even remember to wear shoes when I leave, let alone remember all my reusable items, but I’m trying my best. :)Also HERE is my full list of my FAVORITE waste-free products! Mentionables:- Sad Sea Turtle with Straw in Nose - graphic.- Give Yourself a BREAK! - I didn’t know about her back when I recorded this episode but I love that she explores way to reduce waste without making us feel bad about it. :)

Happy Halloween everyone! I thought we could start the show today in Planet Money style with two numbers, 4.4 and zero. I’ll give you a second to guess their significance. Alright, ready?    If you said that 4.4 is the average number of pounds that we Americans produce as waste on a daily basis, you’d be correct. Kinda scary isn’t it?    As for zero, that’s the average amount of waste that Kathryn Kellogg (@goingzerowaste) produces annually!   Kathryn is part of something called the Zero Waste Movement. It’s something that, frankly, I didn’t know was possible until very recently.    I was curious to talk with Kathryn about how she’s able to live without producing trash. Does it mean living in a hut somewhere and growing all your own food? It turns out that’s not the case.    Kathryn was able to break it down in a way that I found to be really accessible and applicable. It got me thinking differently about the things that I purchase and consume and I’ve even made some changes, (composting is the big one), that I’m really enjoying.    This conversation really shifted what I thought was possible and left me feeling more empowered as an individual. I hope you enjoy it and if you decide to make any changes of you’re own, I’d love to hear about them!    Let me know on twitter @lifedonediffrnt. 

Gerry Gillespie and Mal Williams are both involved with the zero waste international trust. Gerry is also involved with resource recovery Australia, and the Majors Creek folk festivals zero waste goals. From soil to food, then back again, living systems cycle their energy and materials. There is no such thing as waste. The zero waste international trust is doing its best to encourage the same behaviour from human societies.

Jon Moore reporting!   This week’s show marks the one year anniversary of the podcast! Those of you who have been with us from the beginning, thanks, and to those you have joined us on the way, also thanks. It is an humbling and gratifying thing to see the stats improve over the year. It is also very motivating so, once again, thanks to all my listeners.   A post from Permie Flix this week seemed appropriate for the one year anniversary: Bacteria Surf the Fungal Web. Regular listeners will know my obsession with the fungal webs beneath forest communities and our need to preserve these structures from clear felling and ploughs. This video from the Scientific American Blog shows actual bacteria travelling along these fungal super highways. The video is only 1 minute 31 seconds long but seeing the bacteria moving along these fungal pathways will change the way you see the world forever. So much goes on underground, out of sight and until recently, out of mind. We are just scratching the surface on this world, pun intended. Have a look and change your life! Link in the show notes.   In contrast to this system of balance and flow comes a post from the blog: Joy of Reading entitled: Endless economic growth.   Quote: The Western monopoly capitalist paradigm that allows big money to chase after more for the profit of the few, using Mother Earth as a disposable factor of production, is neither sustainable nor logical based on modern science and natural law. End Quote.   I’ll admit this sounds a little Malthusian but I can live with that. The point is well made. Converting Nature into, not so much pieces of paper with an agreed value of exchange but now into arrangements of electrons to do the same job does seem like a fool’s errand. Many people no longer live in poverty as a result of this system but it is possible to, and I would, argue their poverty was a result of the system in the first place.   There is change afoot.   Quote: Endless economic growth based on finite natural resources is finished. It is a mind-centered egotistical fantasy to thrive at the expense of other Nations. The death of the paradigm has already begun. End Quote.   To follow on from this blog The Food Geographer brings us a call to action: Let’s all build an environmental mindset.   Quote: I have found myself in a situation that I think many people are in: Caring about the environment, but feeling paralysed by the enormity of the task at hand, and how ‘little’ they feel in comparison. End Quote.   This sums up our dilemma succinctly. Yet thefoodgeographer provides solutions:   Quote: I think what we need is a mindset shift, which will then lead to an action shift. Here are my simple suggestions: Remember that, unless you are the next Gandhi, you alone cannot change the entire world. End Quote.   So we each can do a little. In so doing we will discover the next Seymour, Mollison or Fukuoka. Thefoodgeographer suggests skills we could learn, improve on and/or pass onto others:   Quote:   Food growing – volunteer at an urban farm Vegetarian cooking – ask someone to teach you How to make your home more sustainable – turn your apartment into a garden! Recycling schemes in your area – contact your Council, support Hubbub’s new coffee cup campaign Air pollution – plant more trees, sign a campaign every week Wildlife conservation – vertical farming, or identifying bird songs to help conservation Improving public transport and biking – write a letter to your government rep. Young people and education – learn how to teach or host workshops at school   End Quote.   Now we could call this the Noble Green Eightfold Path to save ourselves and our communities.   Let’s examine each of these in turn.   Food growing, my eBook on no-dig gardening is a great starting point, even though self praise is faint praise, I am quite proud of it. Click here. We can all grow some food and surprisingly large amounts of it in small areas. Local urban and community gardens and farms are also ways into this wonderful activity. Vegetarian cooking, a simple google search will help if you are driven in this direction. A sustainable home is possible. Even a more sustainable home is a good start. Michael Mobbs in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia has done it and will show you how: Click Here. He lives off grid in an inner suburban terrace house. He generates his own energy  and much of his own food. So it really is doable. Recycling, this is so 1970s I shouldn’t even have to mention it. Maybe a look at the Zero Waste Movement might help. Air Pollution. All pollution in fact is a problem. Think of Bill Mollison’s quote: Waste is a resource is the wrong place. Starting there can and will change the world dramatically. Wildlife conservation is as much a given as recycling, I’d have thought but to that we add the specialisation of pollinator protection. No bees, little food variation. Pineapples, wheat, rice and potatoes. Not much of a diet. So this is an area we call make a difference. Public transport, pushbikes and so on as well as the move to electric vehicles helps. Provided the electricity is green, this will also help with #5, air pollution. Youth, it’s a cliche to say they are the future but educating children on these matters works. Way back in 1972, I had a teacher who, I see now, while a sufferer of anxiety, instilled in me the path towards this podcast. It all started with the wastefulness and pointlessness of coloured toilet paper. Yes such a thing did and I assume may still exist. Simple changes seem to make the biggest differences. After all, white toilet paper and even recycled white-ish toilet paper is much better for checking bowel health as well as planetary health. So, little things in the minds of children can have exponential change.   So there we have a Green manifesto and a set of steps to save the world. Let’s aim high!   To that end a friend and colleague of mine Rich Bowden and myself are starting a new podcast and blog in the near future. The Real Food Chain. There’s a link to the Facebook page in the show notes. The podcast will be interview based so keep your eye and ear out for that one. I’ll let you know when it launches.   And that brings us to the end of this week’s podcast.   If you’ve liked what you heard, could please follow the link in the show notes and vote for World Organic News in the Australian Podcast Awards Click here Thanks in advance.   Any suggestions, feedback or criticisms of the podcast or blog are most welcome. email me at podcast@worldorganicnews.com.
