    Why Humans Can't Fix Climate Change

    What stops us from doing the right thing by ourselves and our planet? On this episode of Be the Change, I speak with Maggie Saunders, a women’s coach and certified hypnotherapist and also my own business coach. She specializes in helping women uncover why they hide who they are (consciously or unconsciously) and today she helps us understand why we humans are so slow to make the important changes to save ourselves and the planet and how we can change that. You might be surprised to learn how a traumatic event in your childhood is stopping you from making changes you actually want - without you even realizing it. This also applies to world leaders, who are also humans. I think this is the perfect episode to begin the New Year with.

    You are never too young to Be the Change

    I met Addisyn Mayer on Instagram and we became fast friends. From doing beach cleanups in her neighborhood, to marching for children's educational, health and safety rights, she inspires me daily to continue to be the change. Did I mention she is just 10 years old? For BTC's 7th Season and 50th episode - I cannot think of a better guest to have on. Addisyn is joined by her Mom Jenn, and we will hear how being the change runs in their family and also how Addisyn inspires Jenn to keep fighting the good fight.

  4. Changing Camping's Narrative

    Changing Camping's Narrative

    Numerous studies, including those conducted by our own governments show it is not just important, but imperative our children have consistent exposure to nature.The positive effects of nature include improved cognitive functioning, including increased concentration, greater attention capacities, and higher academic performance. Yet millions of city kids have no access to anything more than a cement park, already putting them at a disadvantage. My next guest is out to change that. Manny Almonte is the Co-founder of Camping to Connect, a BIPOC-led experiential mentorship program that uses outdoor recreation and nature immersion to address the diverse issues faced by young men of color in America’s cities. Led by and for people of color, Camping to Connect is elevating the narrative that the outdoors belong to everybody.

  5. How NYC Politicians Destroyed East River Park - The Greenwashing of NYC Part 3

    How NYC Politicians Destroyed East River Park - The Greenwashing of NYC Part 3

    This October 22nd will be 10 years since much of NYC was devastated by Hurricane Sandy.  With millions of dollars in federal funding, it wasn’t until this past year that NYC started to take action on making downtown neighborhoods more resilient to ever increasing storms. The plans approved and forced on to residents by former Mayor De Blasio, with the support of our city council and current Mayor Adams- reads like a typical political playbook.  How can we make things worse and spend billions of dollars doing so. Today I am joined by Allie Ryan and Tommy Loeb from East River Park Action.  Both Tommy and Allie have lived in the Lower Eastside for years, are lifelong activists with experience in NYC politics. They fought with the city for a true climate resilient plan in their neighborhood,  but unfortunately were unable to stop the city from cutting down 700 mature cherry trees, destroy the amphitheater and leave behind an asbestos problem that still is not remedied. They will give us an inside view on their remarkable battle against the greenwashing that took place in East River Park and how they will continue to fight for transparency.

    Creating Resiliency with Nature, not Against it - The Greenwashing of NYC Part 2

    In NYC we are currently facing major green washing resiliency projects that are taking away our public green spaces and old grow vegetation and being replaced with cement mounds and more development. Is it possible to have resiliency and also nature? The answer is a resounding yes. Not only do we need to work with it, we need to partner with it. In this BTC conversation we will hear from Eric "T" Fleisher, an Environmental Restoration expert who believes we need to stop fighting with nature and learn to live in harmony with it – floods and all. Eric is the Co-Principal of F2Environmental Design, a Soil Scientist, an Evironmental Restoration Specialist and a A Loeb Fellow at Harvard University. He is a frequent lecturer on sustainable practices and serves as a consultant for some of the top institutions in the country including Battery Park City where he is the former director of horticulture. http://www.f2environmentaldesign.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bethechange-with-christine-dimmick.

    Save Wagner Park - The Greenwashing of NYC Part 1

    We all want climate resiliency to protect our homes and neighborhoods – but what do we do when our city officials use resiliency to develop our public green spaces for their profit? In NYC we are currently seeing our public parks being turned into cement, all in the name climate resiliency, except that it isn’t. Science shows that we need the trees and vegetation to soak up the heavy rain falls.   We recently saw the heartbreaking destruction of East River Park where hundreds of mature trees were chopped down. And now on the opposite side of the city in Battery Park City, Wagner Park is set to be completely leveled. Joining me today is Britni Erez and Kelly McGowan from the Battery Park City Neighborhood Association, along with Battery Park Montessori and Green Ivy School Founder Jennifer Jones. We will learn how the Battery Park City Authority is forcing their plans on the community, how it isn’t even needed in Wagner Park and how we all need to join together to protect our green spaces. www.savewagner.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bethechange-with-christine-dimmick.

  8. Creating a Refill + Reuse Product

    Creating a Refill + Reuse Product

    Real change comes from regular conversations over coffee or at the dinner table – not from the Boardroom. When conversation turns to collaboration – that’s when the real magic happens. In 2015 Lindsey McCoy had reached a pivotal point in her own part in contributing to plastic pollution. Living on the island of the Bahamas for 10 years, she saw first hand how plastic really has no graveyard and that recycling is not the answer. And she had enough. In trying to reduce her own waste, Lindsey and her sister Alison inadvertently came up with a new structure for the personal care industry – a refill based line of products – that can be accessed anywhere in the US saving over 386,000 plastic bottles to date from going into the landfill or oceans. In this episode Lindsey McCoy, Co-Founder of Plaine Products explains how she and her sister Alison created a refill and reuse personal care line simply because we need it and that we cannot expect corporations to do it for us.
