environmental awareness

This episode focuses on Vermont's notably low obesity rate, the second lowest in the United States out of all the mainland states.

The discussion begins with some context and then expands on the state's outdoor lifestyle, highlighting how its natural beauty and terrain encourage an active lifestyle among residents. Vermont's cities and towns are praised for their walkability, contributing to the population's overall physical health.

The episode explores the health-conscious mindset of Vermonters, who prioritise wellness and healthy eating, influenced partly by the state's small population density that allows for close-knit communities with access to fresh, local foods. Economic factors are also examined, notably Vermont's lower poverty rate, which correlates with better access to quality food and health services. Environmental consciousness in Vermont is also linked.

A fun fact about Montpelier, the U.S. capital with no McDonald's, wraps up the episode, symbolising Vermont's unique approach to community health and diet.

Trends are long-lived customer behavioral changes.  Trends cause customers to develop new needs and allow companies to supply new solutions.  Thus, trends are loaded with opportunity, and the source of obsolescence.  But far too few companies use trends in their planning.

This podcast overviews how we verify trends, identify trend reinforcers, and then use those trends to plan. We dig deep into the 4 trends we identified at the pandemic onset(Mobility, Asynchronous Work, Artificial Intelligence and Gig Economy) for verification of their ongoing importance – including new technologies, government programs and environmental changes like real estate, e-commerce use and applications of social media.  Then we explore the importance of the emerging trend around sustainability and environmental awareness – and the overall impact of demographic trends on all business trends. 

Thinking points:

• Have you incorporated the 4 big trends into your planning?
• Are you tracking events for their impact on trends and customer behaviors?
• Are you aware of how trends are changing, adapting and affecting your products and services?
• Are you updating your scenarios for events and their impact on trends?

Episode Introduction

In our world, every piece is connected like a giant jigsaw puzzle. From our health to the trees in the forest, everything affects everything else. Hello, I’m Marco Ciappelli, and you’re tuning in to "One Connected World," a special series within the "Redefining Society Podcast."

With me are some amazing friends and experts who often join our discussions. There's Allison and Maurice from the High Alert Institute. They've gone from focusing on emergency response to understanding the broader picture – from saving aquatic animals to the mysteries of space. And there's Deborah, who beautifully explains how our health, the environment, and the lives of plants and animals are all woven together.

Today, we're also thrilled to have a special guest, Rod Schoonover. He's a brilliant scientist who delves into topics like climate change and its implications on our world's safety. Rod has worn many hats - a teacher, a government expert, and more, always emphasizing how the Earth's changes can shape our future.

Today, we're elated to introduce a remarkable voice to our dialogue, Rod Schoonover. Rod isn’t just a scientist; he's a visionary who dives deep into critical issues such as climate change and its ripple effects on global safety and stability. Throughout his career, Rod has donned various roles with immense dedication. As an educator, he's molded minds, providing insights into the intricate balance of our planet's systems. In his tenure with the government, he emerged as a trusted expert, advising on how environmental changes can influence geopolitics and broader societal structures. Above all, Rod consistently underscores a pivotal message: the transformations our Earth undergoes have profound implications, not just on the environment but on every facet of our lives, from policy to personal wellbeing. With his multifaceted expertise, Rod brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective that promises to illuminate and deepen our understanding of the world we inhabit.

In this series, "One Connected World," our mission is to unravel these connections. How does one action in one corner of the world affect something else far away? It’s like a domino effect, where one piece can make everything else move. With Allison, Maurice, Deborah, and guests like Rod, we explore these intricate links, diving deep into the stories and facts that make our world what it is.

So, join us on this journey. Each episode, each story is a step closer to understanding and caring for the world we share. Let’s figure out how to keep the pieces of our puzzle fitting together, creating a beautiful and harmonious picture.

In this episode of the Sentient Media Podcast, host Ana Bradley interviews Dr. Jennifer Jacquet about the controversial topic of octopus farming. Dr. Jacquet discusses the reasons behind the resistance to octopus farming in the 21st century and the ethical implications of mass-producing a beloved animal species. They explore the current status of proposed octopus farms in different countries, including the world's first factory farm for octopuses in Gran Canaria. Dr. Jacquet shares insights into what an octopus factory farm might look like and the potential impact on the animals' well-being. They also discuss the reasons for choosing a land-based facility for octopus farming and the public's response to this issue. This episode provides valuable perspectives on the challenges and ethical considerations surrounding octopus farming.

Dr. Jennifer Jacquet is a professor in Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of Miami. She is the recipient of a 2015 Alfred P. Sloan research fellowship and a 2016 Pew fellowship in marine conservation.

Smaller companies tend to focus on daily operations, and see activities in Washington DC as remote and unhelpful.  But the Inflation Reduction Act is setting aside $392B for environmental projects that are good opportunities for small companies.  Combined with the Chips act and the Infrastructure act there is well over $500B in money for smart business leaders ready to move on environmentally helpful business opportunities.

Everything from solar panels to charging stations, to components for sustainable electricity generation, storage and more applications is getting money. Opportunities are exploding for better packaging, recycling & reuse, waste clean-up, and emission management.  Fleet management systems for electric cars, trucks, buses are needed.  Clean manufacturing is needed for electric tools, bicycles, lawn equipment and the motors, sensors, and parts used in all of them.  Better agricultural process management, including better water management and production of less water-intensive foods, along with indoor farming and vertical farming are all opportunities that will be funded and implemented. 

The opportunities are there. Money for subsidies of all kinds are there.  What’s stopping you?

Thinking points:

• Have you assessed how electrification will affect your customers’ business?  Your business?
• Have you assessed how environmental awareness is affecting your customers’ view of your business?
• Have you sought opportunities to be more environmentally friendly?  Are you looking for opportunities with your customers?
• Where can you apply environmentally better processes to your business?
• Where can you offer environmentally better products/solutions to your customers?

HexcelPack™ was founded in 2014 using an updated version of a 30-year-old technology developed by David Goodrich, with the idea of using paper to replace the traditional, one-use plastic products that are prevalent throughout the world in the packaging industry. HexcelPack’s™ proprietary slit paper technology was developed in the early 90’s when it was discovered that the hexagon is one of the strongest shapes to engineer, and it was possible to successfully manufacture slit paper using the hexagon shape. Back then, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch was still unknown, and most people had little awareness of the wide-ranging negative impact of plastic waste on ocean ecosystems. Today, a concern for preserving ocean ecology is the company’s driving influence – making recyclable, sustainable paper packaging products in lieu of plastic. HexcelPack™ uses specialty kraft papers that make HexcelWrap™ completely unique. We talk to Lorne Herszkowicz - Partner of Hexcel Pak about how nature inspired this sustainable innovation.

This week’s episode, as promised from the spring, once again highlights the Bene Terre Farm. Cliff, Lindsey, and Mabel Bennett join the show to share how the farm is responding to its new role and all the new features the farm now includes.

Cliff and Lindsey share how they are “eating some humble pie” and learning so many new things in regards to their land and farming. They share stories about the unsexed chickens they needed to end up processing to needing to move the gardens in order for a more abundant harvest. 

The future of the farm is moving in the direction of tying the biodynamic calendar in with permaculture. The synchronicities that happened in regards to permaculture is a clear example of the Universe showing the Bennett’s they are on the right track and supported on that path.

They also share why organic is more expensive but more importantly why organic is best for your body as well as our environment on a small and large scale. However, they graciously advise us to do the best we can in supporting our health and the planet alike.

Paul talks with Jenny Coombs (Associate professor at the College for Financial Planning) about the increasingly popular investment trend known as Sustainable Responsible Investing (SRI). We cover definitions of the terminology, history & trends, investor profiles, and much more.

Geneen Marie-Haugen explores an emerging dimension of the human/Earth relationship – a relationship in which the human capacity for imagination is an essential component of planetary ecology. We’ll consider the possibility that our manner of approaching the wilder Others make a difference – both reawakening the older mind in us that knows the animate nature of the world, as well as re-enlivening the wilder Others themselves. 

“A practice of celebrating the wild Earth and cosmos – like other practices – holds the possibility of re-shaping consciousness; the more our thoughts, words and gestures are intertwined with the beings among whom we abide, the more the world pulses with life, the more we hear the exuberantly singing Earth, and perhaps even the songs of starlight.” –Geneen Marie Haugen from her essay, “Thomas Berry And The Evocation Of Participatory Consciousness,” which appears in Thomas Berry: Dreamer of the Earth.

Dr. Geneen Marie Haugen grew up a little wild, with a run-amok imagination. As a guide to the intertwined mysteries of nature and psyche, she delights in multidimensional listening and in offering perceptive questions, ceremonies, escapades, and reflections that help expand a sense of our own possibilities as individuals (and as a species) and deepen our experience of participation with an intelligent, animate Earth/Cosmos. Her writing has appeared in many anthologies and journals, including Spiritual Ecology: The Cry of the Earth; Thomas Berry: Dreamer of the Earth; Written River; Parabola Journal; Kosmos Journal; Ecopsychology; and The Artist’s Field Guide to Greater Yellowstone. A former tipi-dweller and whitewater river guide, she now lives amidst the creatures and features of southern Utah’s sandstone labyrinth. She is exploring the awakening of what she calls “planetary imagination,” and the possible emergence of a new mode of the human that she has called Homo imaginans. She is committed to the world-transforming potential of the human imagination in collaboration with the Earth community.

Stephen Donofrio is stepping outside the box and represents the epitome of fighting the good fight in regards to environmental awareness. Join us as we discuss all things sustainability, how multiple issues come into play when discussing the environmental climate space, how cities are a major part of our ecosystem, and that the purchasing decisions we make play a huge role in not only nature and our health, but also the entire community where we reside.

All changes, large and small, have an effect on the wellbeing of our beautifully energetic planet, Earth. In turn, I personally find it to be a nearly euphoric experience when I have my reusable shopping bags with me everywhere I go in the case I make a purchase, versus when I accidentally don't have one on me and feel obliged to use a plastic shopping bag.
