    S8 EP7: Recycling the Small but Mighty

    Our final episode release for 2025, saw us speak to a passionate changemaker and leader in circular and sustainability education, Lottie Dalziel, founder of Banish. Her inspiration actually started from a 2018 New Years Resolution (it clearly worked!) on doing better for the planet. Following this, Banish has established their Banish Recycling and Diversion Program (BRAD) helping diverting hard-to-abate waste from reaching landfill, creating recycled gifts, run corporate workshops and done community collaboration. In fact, in FY24 Banish kept 7.8T tonnes out of landfill. Her contributions to sustainability and entrepreneurship saw her receive NSW Young Australian Award (2023) and Forbes' 30 Under 30. But Lottie's journey is not just about numbers and awards, but empowering community with personal action and to create systemic change.

    S8 EP4: Unpacking Effective Altruism

    What if we could change the impact make, in how we give and the work we do? In this episode, we spoke to Grace Adams who broke down the intruiging concept of effective altruism (EA) - growing in prominence with our desire for purpose in this increasingly confusing world. Premised on 'doing good better' - EA inherently acknowledges the scarcity of resources and time, using evidence, reasoning and dynamicism to solve problems. For Grace, it was her goal to live a meaningful life. And after listening to a talk from Australian ethicist Peter Singer and from the 'Giving What We Can' organisations - she had found her calling. This was a fascinating conversation, not only covering the principles and philosophy but also application: Are humans naturally altruistic? Importance of scale, tractability and neglectedness to determine causesA common misconception in the space and the emotional aspectWhy the Lead Exposure Elimination Project is doing great work We talk lots about impact, but understanding where it can be made...that's where Effective Altruism can make a difference.

    S8 EP3: Thinking in Natural Cycles

    In today's episode, Vis spoke to Sharelle Polack, an agricultural and environmental scientist with over 30 years experience working in areas such as agriculture, food systems and sustainable land management. A theme Sharelle emphasised was the need for human's relationship with nature and acknowledging that we must think in cycles. Her strength as a systems thinker was evident discussing challenging and solutions in the agricultural space, food waste, integration of nature and climate and reporting, biodiversity reform in Australia among others. The dedicated work of individuals like Sharelle encourage us to connect, advocate and see greater meaning on the state of nature and importantly the journey forward.

    S8 EP2: Post-Growth - Where to from here?

    For all that we talk about ESG and purposeful business, how many corporates and policymakers question the system on which its built - growth and GDP. Tom Foster is doing exceptional work to help us better understand alternate economic models, bring to life concepts of post-growth and Doughnut economics. In this era of polycrises where we have exploited our planetary boundaries, we need a reframe. Our conversation brings exactly that: The limits to growth and influence of the economic professionImportance of planetary boundaries to create a 'Goldilocks' economyInterpreting polycrisesIncorporating post-growth concepts in redefining productivity It's no secret the dominant neoliberalism thinking is failing to meet humanity's needs. Tom's insights highlight the need for us to mobilise to a system which values scale, distribution and allocation while considering the well-being of people and our planet. Hope that you find the episode insightful. ___________________________________________________________ Tom's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomfoster66/ Tom's Essay - The Luck of the Draw: Generational Loss and the Young’s Vanishing Future: https://findingnature.substack.com/p/taking-licks-and-rising-again Beyond green growth (YouTube video): https://www.youtube.com/live/YxJrBR0lg6s
