Jätkusuutlik elustiil - vajadusest ettevõtteni. Intervjuu Elamise Kergus ettevõtte omaniku Monika Kallastega.

Intervjuu jätkusuutliku elustiili poe Elamise Kergus omaniku Monika Kallastega. Eestis uus ja üks esimesi seesuguseid poode, kust leiad vaid plastivabasid, komposteeruvaid, orgaanilistest materjalidest ning vegantooteid teadlikule tarbijale. Monikale läheb korda, mida ta tarbib ja milliseid valikuid iga päev teeb. Tema jaoks on tähtis, et toit, mida tema pere sööb on puhas ja täisväärtuslik ning et tooted, mida tarbivad, ei kahjustaks tervist ega keskkonda. Ta proovib alati valida loodussõbralikumad, vähem keemilised, naturaalsed tooted naftast toodetud masstoodangu asemele. Alati muidugi ei saa, kuid väikeste sammude kaupa küll. Monika jagas meiega oma põhjuseid, miks hakkas otsima alternatiivseid tooteid, mis oleksid keemiavabad, saastaksid vähem või lihtsalt toodaksid vahem prügi. Samuti kuulete tema teekonda ettevõtte loomisest füüsilise poe avamiseni. Räägime ka sellest: kuidas toimub toodete valik sortimenti mis on jätkusuutliku toote hinna taga millised on hetkel kõige populaarsemad tooted kuidas alustada teadlikumat tarbimist millistest toodetest alustada, kui soovid senised tooted ümber vahetada jätkusuutlikumate vastu Saates mainitud tooted: Ecoegg® Laundry Egg pesupesemise muna: https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/a/ecoeggr-laundry-egg-pesupesemise-muna-kevadlillede-lohnaga Bambaw raseerija alusega https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/a/bambaw-raseerija-alusega-hobedane Vahariie https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/c/vahariie-1 Tahked šampoonid https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/c/tahked-sampoonid 3-1 korduvkasutatav küpsetuspaber https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/c/3-1-korduvkasutatav-kupsetuspaber Elamise Kerguse kohta leiate lähemalt infot: www.elamisekergus.ee Sustainability School tegemiste kohta saad rohkem uurida: https://sustainabilityschool.co/ ja https://www.instagram.com/sustainability_school/

Turning Throwaway Culture into Giveaway Culture - an Interview with Anja Schlott

In this episode, we’re talking to Anja Schlott, PhD Biochemistry and Molecular Biology / Infectious Diseases, about food waste and an app called Olio, that helps us in reducing ours. This podcast episode discusses: Why is food waste a problem for the environment? What can and should we do about it? One of the solutions is the Olio app. Anja shares how she has used the app and why it stood out for her as a great solution in reducing food waste. Food waste is one of the top contributors to climate change. Some facts & figures (ref): Between 33-50% of all food produced globally is never eaten. The value of this wasted food is worth over $1 trillion. Meanwhile 800 million people go to bed hungry every night. That is 1 in 9 people on the planet who are starving or malnourished. Food waste is harmful for the planet: It takes a landmass larger than China to grow the food each year that is ultimately never eaten. 25% of the world’s freshwater supply is used to grow food that is never eaten. If food waste were a country it would be the 3rd largest emitter of greenhouse gases (after China & the USA). Anja is originally from Hamburg, Germany and recently finished at PhD at the Francis Crick Institute in London where she was working on Drug Discovery against the Malaria Parasite. She has been working in the field of sustainability for more than two years helping to build up a sustainability team at the Francis Crick during her PhD and organising with InnerPlanet the London Climathon 2019 and working on a carbon emission tracking technology. She is now starting a new role at Mondra (carbon labelling) to become a Life cycle analysis Consultant to look at a way to enable consumers to choose the most environmentally friendly food product by giving transparent information. Anja has a passion for nature and has been working towards her own sustainable lifestyle changes, which she shares on her Instagram. One app has really stood out however in helping to reduce food waste and now also share non-food items with other people. Learn more about Olio and download the app here: https://olioex.com Join Sustainability School Community to keep learning. It's a free space for learning from each other, from scientists and sustainability practitioners. From individual changes, to growing large-scale movements creating change where it matters.

Understanding Climate Change - Interview series with Biologist Madis Metsis

Welcome to Sustainability School, the practical podcast that provides tips and ideas for people who care about the environment and want to make a positive difference with their actions. I invite you to learn about sustainability with us, let’s make sense of the climate crisis step by step and find out what we can do about it. In this episode, we interview Madis Metsis, a biologist with many years experience and a wealth of knowledge on the subject of nature, biology and climate. Madis has worked in many of the world’s top universities as a professor and researcher, such as The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California, where he was Associate professor in neuropharmacology, as well as in several private sector research and technology companies. Madis has published over a hundred scientific publications, some of them on subjects of trees, forests, fungi and the ecological interconnectedness of it all. So, I beleive he is the perfect person to pick a brain on the subject of climate change and sustainability. The first part of this interview series, is about Understanding Climate Change. We look at the greenhouse effect, CO2 and methane and explore the big problem we are facing with permafrost melting in the Arctic regions. Key take-away from this: If we have the will, like in 1987 we did by agreeing the Montreal Protocol to amend the ozone layer, then we may be able to reverse the climate change process.
