What is Biochar and How Can it Help the Climate? 38:53

3 years geleden38:53

38:53

As we all know, climate change is happening. It’s no longer some distant future doomsday that we can prevent, it's here. However, there are a LOT of things we can do to minimize the effects and possibly undo some of the damage. One of those things is called biochar. Is that a pokemon? Is it a cartoon supervillain? Actually, no. Biochar is similar to charcoal but it’s not used as a fuel. It is produced by heating biomass with very little oxygen. By restricting the oxygen you prevent it from burning and turning to ash and you are left with a carbon-rich material with lots of uses. Biochar has the potential to mitigate the effects of climate change and greatly improve soil quality, all while reducing waste and producing energy as a byproduct. Support the show…

Coal to Solar: Building Solar Farms in Appalachia - Adam Edelen 1:02:07

4 years geleden1:02:07

1:02:07

Adam Edelen is the founder of Edelen Renewables. He’s working to bring jobs and investment to coal country by building massive solar farms on reclaimed strip mines, and he’s working with coal companies and renewable energy developers to do it. We had a great conversation with him and he gave me a tour of his first coal-to-solar project in Martin County, Kentucky. This is an incredibly exciting development for Appalachia and a fantastic way to put reclaimed mines, out of work miners, and abandoned fossil fuel infrastructure to work building a new clean energy economy.

Our guest today is Natascha Glanzer-Fuerst an Austrian zero-waste advocate and feminist who was a crew member with eXXpedition, an organization that leads all-female scientific voyages around the world dedicated to exploring the impact of plastic and toxic pollution in our oceans and working to solve the problem. You might have noticed the odd spelling of eXXpedition. The XX stands for the female double X chromosomes. Hundreds of women from diverse backgrounds and professions have sailed with eXXpedition since it was founded in 2014. So, why are the crews all female? Natascha explains that in the episode.

Some major oil companies have recently unveiled plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reinvent themselves in the face of climate change. Exxon has not announced any plan to deal with climate change but this week Bloomberg News reported on a leaked copy of Exxon’s 2018 investment plan and it calls for 17% more greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. We’ll take a look at Exxon’s dramatic plummet over the last few years and their big gamble on business as usual, come hell or high water (literally).

Political Climate Action: Dominic Frongillo - Elected Officials to Protect America 55:12

4 years geleden55:12

55:12

Dominic Frongillo is the co-founder & executive director of Elected Officials to Protect America or EOPA. EOPA is nonpartisan, which is very unusual for a political network. It’s members are state and local elected officials from all over the U.S. who are committed to fighting the climate crisis and protecting America’s communities, public health and environment. When we think of politicians we often think that they are working for their big corporate donors, who are often fossil fuel companies. But members of EOPA are committed to protecting Americans from those destructive industries and preserving our climate and water resources. EOPA was born out of an earlier organization that Dominic co-founded. Elected Officials to Protect New York, that united nearly 1,000 local elected officials to fight high-volume hydro-fracking. They actually won that fight and got fracking banned in New York. But Dominic’s story doesn’t start there. His political career started when a mentor and friend on the town council in his small hometown of Caroline, New York asked him to run for council at the age of 21.

Dr. Annette Olson started her career as a field biologist studying the social behavior of the long-nosed mongoose on a remote island in West Africa. But a civil war in Sierra Leone brought an end to her mongoose studies and started her off on a 30-year career working for federal agencies and nonprofits in Washington, D.C. Now she is building Climate Steps, her own nonprofit organization with a mission to supply people with impactful personal, social, and political actions to fight climate change.

The problems with some of the most commonly recommended climate actions What climate steps have the biggest impact and how to find the right climate steps for you The importance of discussing your climate actions with your friends and family Links Episode webpage ClimateSteps.org If you would like to support the show please click here.

5 years geleden45:40

45:40

Our guest today is Jay Siegel, co-host of Sustainability Defined , a podcast that takes on the rather intimidating goal of defining sustainability, one topic and one bad joke at a time. Each episode of Sustainability Defined explores an area of sustainability in great depth and then finishes up with an interview with an expert in that space. It’s such a good resource that it has made its way into the course curriculum at Duke, Penn State and other fine universities. When Jay isn’t podcasting he works as an urban infill real estate developer so he has first hand experience with a lot of the complicated sustainability issues around buildings and cities. Here are just a few of the topics that we discussed with Jay. How to build a sustainability career when it’s not yet part of your day job Urban infill: can we reduce sprawl while minimizing the negative impacts of gentrification? The carbon footprint of buildings and cities Kanye’s Presidential bid We’ll include a clip from Sustainability Defined at the end of this episode, so stick around.

Climate, forests and AI: Measuring carbon sequestration in forests - Diego Saez Gil 40:07

Our guest today is Diego Saez Gil, founder and CEO of Pachama , a carbon offset and technology company that is harnessing satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to measure and monitor carbon capture in forests . Reducing the cost of measuring the amount of carbon stored in forests means that more of the money spent on carbon offsets can go to landowners. Improving the accuracy of those measurements means that people and companies who purchase carbon offsets are more confident that their money is being spent on effective carbon removal solutions .

Fighting climate change with an open source power grid: Shuli Goodman - LF Energy 53:08

5 years geleden53:08

53:08

Our guest today is Shuli Goodman , founder and executive director of LF Energy, a new Linux Foundation project that supports open source innovation in the energy and electricity sectors. Shuli had the opportunity to work on an IT project with independent utilities in California where she learned how woefully inadequate their software systems were for the upcoming changes that would be required to green the grid. "We are in unbelievable trouble, because these guys do not have the technology or the capacity to meet the future that's going to come running at us." She started looking for options for building a new digital infrastructure for the grid and came to the conclusion that the Linux Foundation was the only organization that could support such a vast collaborative project.

Renewable energy suppliers and hosts of The Climate Pod - Ty and Brock Benefiel 43:50

5 years geleden43:50

Our guests today are Ty and Brock Benefiel , brothers and hosts of The Climate Pod podcast. Ty is co-founder and CEO of Hero Power , a company that allows electricity customers in Illinois to choose renewable energy over fossil fuel energy when they pay their utility bill. They plan to expand into 13 states. Brock is a journalist, podcaster, and Director of Marketing at Hero Power. Some states allow utility customers to choose who supplies their power. This means that the local utility is responsible for maintaining the grid and distributing the electricity to customers. They also do the billing. But other companies are allowed to supply the electricity and consumers can choose which company they want to provide that electricity. Hero Power is one of those suppliers but they’re a little different than most. They buy electricity on the market and resell it but they also buy renewable energy credits to offset every kilowatt of power that they sell. So, people that sign up with Hero Power are generating demand for renewable energy without paying a penny more than they would otherwise.
