    AI and the Environment: Balancing Demands, Challenges, and Opportunities

    Data centers supporting artificial intelligence consume staggering amounts of electricity, with their energy demands projected to potentially account for up to 10% of total U.S. electricity consumption by 2030—posing both challenges and opportunities for clean energy goals. In this episode of People Places Planet, Jed Anderson, CEO and founder of EnviroAI, and Bob Sussman, a seasoned environmental lawyer and former senior EPA official, join host Dara Albrecht to explore the intersection of AI and the environment. They discuss how AI is transforming environmental protection, from enabling real-time regulatory improvements to empowering under-resourced communities. The conversation also examines the risks posed by AI's energy consumption and its role in climate change, as well as the potential for AI to revolutionize environmental law and sustainability efforts. ★ Support this podcast ★

    Planted! How Local Governments are Increasing the Availability of Plant-Based Proteins to Reduce Emissions from Food

    Many municipal buildings, schools, hospitals, restaurants, and workplace cafeterias do not offer plant-based entrees. Making plant-based meals the default or even simply offering a plant-based option can help to reduce food-related emissions. In this episode, hosts Sarah Backer and Linda Breggin explore the rang of actions in municipal climate action plans aimed at increasing the availability of plant-based proteins. Hear from Rachel Atcheson about how New York City is reducing their emissions while saving on food costs, from Angela Baucom on how Austin is promoting food equity, and from Katie Cantrell on the different behavioral science strategies local governments can use to reduce food-related emissions.  This podcast was created in conjunction with ELI’s Toolkit for Incorporating Plant-Based Protein Measures in Municipal Climate Action Plans.  ★ Support this podcast ★

    Planted! How Local Governments are Engaging the Public on the Benefits of Plant-Based Proteins

    There are myriad ways to engage the public on the climate, health, and other benefits of plant-based proteins—from launching awareness campaigns to providing food sampling opportunities at municipal events. In this podcast, Sarah Backer and Linda Breggin learn about the efforts of a local government and nonprofit as well as get advice from a social psychology expert about how research findings can inform engagement strategies. Hear from Sarah Gardner about how Iowa City is partnering with farmers markets and other community organizations, Naijha Wright-Brown on how her non-profit launched a plant-based Restaurant Week in Baltimore, and from Toby Park on the most effective messaging and other strategies.  ★ Support this podcast ★

    Planted! How Local Governments Can Measure and Tackle Food-Related Emissions

    Very few municipal sustainability initiatives to date have focused on food-related emissions and specifically the relatively low carbon footprint of plant-based proteins, despite the fact that food accounts for over 25% of the average American household’s carbon footprint. And research indicates that without lowering the emissions associated with food consumption, we will be unable to meet global climate targets. In this episode, hosts Sarah Backer and Linda Breggin seek to understand why localities have been slow to move on reducing carbon emissions related to food consumption and speak to local governments that are leading the way on measuring, tracking, and reducing those emissions. Tune in to learn more about consumption-based emissions inventories from Angie Fyfe at ICLEI; DC’s approach to measuring emissions from municipal food purchasing from Alyssa Wooden; and Carrboro, North Carolina’s goal to reduce emissions from diets by 80% by 2030 from Laura Janway.
