David Guggenheim is a professor from John’s Hopkins University and a leading educator on ocean health. Today we discuss a variety of issues related to how the ocean is affected by climate change and how we need to change our behavior. It is a great conversation… we do experience a technical issue at the start that delays voice for one minute at the start. My apologies.

This is a great podcast of hope and positive change we can all embrace.
The economy over the past hundred years has been built on the idea of disposable goods and unlimited resources. We are quickly realizing that we need to be more efficient and aware in how we act. The planet demands we change our behavior. Today I chat with Damon Carson of RepurposedMaterials about his work in helping businesses connect to and use repurposed materials in the work they do. It helps reduce waste, it reduces duplication and energy consumption, it lowers costs (which in this inflationary environment is key...).
Ted Glick has been a long time climate activist... We talk about his work in raising awareness and what individuals can do to make a change. Climate change requires immense effort to drive real change. Time demands we all play a role in designing and creating the future.

Plastics affects many levels of life. The larger pieces of plastic breakdown into microplastics, fish are crowded out of their native environs; it affects everyone... Kieran shares his journey and experience.
Ed Carlevale has been reporting on the influence fossil fuel companies are having on Universities such as MIT. He connects the dots of influence and money, and shares with us the impact that is having on the institution, professors and researchers. If the climate crisis is to be solved, universities need to play a major role in driving change. Unfortunately that may not be the case...
Peter Fiekowsky has a new book out titled "Climate Restoration: The Only Future That Will Sustain the Human Race". Today we discuss his book and drill down into the concepts and science behind reducing CO2 and methane in the atmosphere in order to address the climate crisis and avert extinction.

The solutions discussed require much more attention and support.
