Calgary Journal Podcasts

There is no shortage of news about problems — social problems, political problems, climate problems. But what about the solutions?

We believe the solution side of the equation is just as important as the problem. In the Journal’s ongoing podcast series, we take a vexxing problem each episode and talk to experts who are solving that problem. 

The Green Podcast focuses on environmental concerns with host Cassie Hearn and features expert guests who will talk about their experience tackling climate change. 

This episode features Calgary adventure bloggers Annalise and Cailynn Klingbeil. The sisters co-write a blog called Go Outside, giving Calgarians advice on how to fully embrace outdoor activities that exist within their backyard. 

Recently, Annalise and Cailynn have discussed exploring Calgary in a “car-free” way, enticing Calgarians to ditch the car, lace up a pair of sneakers, and adventure the city on foot. 

According to the World Health Organization, choosing to walk instead of driving reduces greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions, while also supporting one’s mental well-being. 

Annalise Klingbeil studied communications at the University of Calgary and is the co-founder of Champion Communications and PR. A freelance journalist and editor, Cailynn Klingbeil has written for many publications, including The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Globe and Mail.

The Green Podcast focuses on environmental concerns with host Cassie Hearn and features expert guests who will talk about their experience tackling climate change. 

This episode features Green Calgary coordinators Grace Wark and Mafe Barrera, who will be discussing living a zero-waste lifestyle. With Waste Reduction Week in Canada having occurred from Oct. 17 to 23, now is the time to learn some recycling tips to practice throughout the year! 

Before joining Green Calgary, Wark completed studies in environmental science and geography and is now focused on creating a sustainable Calgary. 

Barrera has a passion for animals and plants, spending many years volunteering with organizations in Columbia that focused on preservation. Barrera has studied environmental remediation and hopes to study environmental sciences in the future.
