Steven is a young talented attorney from the Washington- we talk about human beings trying to reinvent the tree - and the threat that such an approach poses to life on Earth. More specifically, how geoengineering is silently turning from a crazy idea into a political, economical and scientific instrument that will help the oil & gas sector prosper on a roasting planet.

We got kicked out of the place! I think they understood we were here to tell the truth….

But before this group of congress executives came to remove us, we were talking about how hard it is to operate in an industry that is all about selling new products that break, instead of designing them for durability and repairability.

“If government and business don’t have a solution, maybe the people should take over?”.

On September 15th last year, this woman and her team moved 17.8M people in 157 countries to participate in the biggest ever civic action against waste – World Cleanup Day. Through a 36-hour epic wave of cleanups on beaches, rivers and other polluted environments, communities across borders and cultural divides sent a strong message to the world by taking a symbolic step towards green stewardship for systemic c

Priscilla wanted to work with people. When she took a job at an environmental engineering firm in San Antonio, Texas, she thought she was part of the do-gooders, helping clean up after oil spills and making the industry greener. Until she got this one phone call…

Maestro Ernst van Tiel kindly invited me to attend the Star Wars film concert. It was magic, and time stopped. Can’t explain it.

We must be able to learn something from these guys!?

Maestro van Tiel kindly made some time for us to sit backstage the day after the performance to answer my questions and listen to music tracks I prepared for him. We decrypt what we can learn from orchestra conductors so you can hopefully apply some of it in your project and daily life. Just in case the Empire strikes bac

Zero Waste starts with good design, obviously. So we sat in the hallway of a design college and started talking.

There is a lot to learn from Joan Marc’s journey in economics, lobbying, advocacy and activism.

Catching him on his last day of vacation was a great way to take perspective on his career so far and on what's next. His organisation Zero Waste Europe has achieved a lot and made a meaningful contribution to how cities will manage their material streams from now on.

I was looking for a BIG abandoned industrial space for a campaign film I was working on last year. Guillem Ventura, our genius film director put me in touch with Daniel J. Hayes, who had 10,000m2 to offer, including 110 houses, a church, a bar and a dangerous industrial building ready for demolition. Perfect!

What I uncovered is an incredible project in the making and a fascinating human being with a lot of insights and experience to contribute.

I sit with Rebecca Hubbard in the Thon Hotel EU in Brussels. it’s a peak lobbying day of the year! EU Ministers decide on (over)fishing quotas for European waters and the Thon Hotel EU is where most of the shady meetings happen and where deals get made, just besides us, as we record this interview.

Rebecca specialises in campaigning for ocean issues.

I hope you can use Rebecca’s energy and wisdom to advance on your own battles.

There is a lot to learn from his decades of experience with activism in Eastern Europe defending communities against large brown infrastructure projects driven by development banks and industry. We talk about where our money is going, the role of the European Investment Bank in financing the fossil fuel industry and how to deal with people in suits that are typically insensitive to what local livelihoods can represent. . We traveled back in time to the fall of communism, where Petr’s life took a turn.

It’s been a good 20 years I haven’t sat in front of TV cartoons first thing in the morning. Doing so with the author himself was like a dream come true. In addition to the great success of his comic book character Dickie, Pieter De Poortere happens to be a very insightful person I could ask about black humour, visual storytelling, the artist’s take on suffering and social issues. As always, I learnt a lot. I am pretty sure this interview will be thought-provoking for you as well.
