GREENVOLUTION

Scienziato, innovatore, divulgatore, scrittore e imprenditore: per Massimo Temporelli, l’ospite di questo episodio di #Greenvolution, una presentazione simile a quella di una delle personalità geniali di “Fucking genius” (il podcast ida lui deato) calza proprio a pennello. Infatti, nel corso degli anni, Temporelli si è costruito una carriera poliedrica e ha ricevuto vari riconoscimenti di prestigio, l’ultimo dei quali risale al 2024 e premia l’attività di diffusione della cultura scientifica. 

Fisico, e da oltre 25 anni promotore della divulgazione scientifica, Temporelli condivide con Greenvolution alcune sue opinioni sulla sostenibilità, come i dubbi e le incertezze sull’essere green, i pericoli del greenwashing e l’importanza della consapevolezza come chiave per una vita ecosostenibile. 

Scientist, innovator, communicator, writer, and entrepreneur: for Massimo Temporelli, the guest of this episode of #Greenvolution, an introduction similar to that of one of the brilliant personalities in “Fucking Genius” (the podcast he created) fits perfectly. Indeed, over the years, Temporelli has built a multifaceted career and has received various prestigious awards, the latest of which was in 2024, recognizing his efforts in promoting scientific culture.

A physicist and advocate of scientific dissemination for over 25 years, Temporelli shares with Greenvolution some of his views on sustainability, including doubts and uncertainties about being green, the dangers of greenwashing, and the importance of awareness as the key to an eco-sustainable life.

If you think that S.T. Coleridge, Iron Maiden and Andrew Eversden of Bottle up don’t have anything in common, think it over. Besides being all British, Coleridge was one of the first author to be considered proto ecologist, warning us of the dangers of going against nature. In his famous “Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner” (translated into a song by Iron Maiden), the quote “water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink” can be seen as a powerful reminder of the disastrous effects of climate change. Luckily, several genial entrepreneurs, like Andrew Eversden (co-founder of Bottle up and my guest for this episode of Greenvolution) have been working to find solutions against wasting water and preventing one the most dangerous threats to our planet: the proliferation of single-use plastic products. And what about Iron Maiden? Oh, they’ve “just” been providing us with excellent music for decades.

Welcome to another episode of Greenvolution, the Shinchoku podcast by Arianna Pernigoni. So far we have talked about various aspects of sustainability: how to travel respecting the environment more, how to produce more sustainable fashion, the problem of recycling in metal industries and the importance of reducing waste of primary rescources such as water. This time, thanks to my guest, the music songwriter Aaron English, we explore the world of social equality and better education. About ten years ago, he founded the International Youth Project, a charity aiming at ensuring children of Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya with the musical equipment and education to become musicians, producers, songwriters. In short, to provide them with a brighter future. This is surely a wonderful story to tell, and that’s what Aaron English did in this interview.

Developing robotics technology to improve agricolture may sound like a paradox, for it shakes the very foundations of one of the  oldest and most traditional industrial sector. However, thanks to our current guest at Greenvolution, we’ve found out it is possible to unite technology and deeply-grounded, on-the-fields (literally) expertise to realize what Pixelfarming calls “regenerative agricolture”. Its aim is simple and challenging at the same time: by using mathematics to increase food production and stop using chemical pesticides, Pixelfarming wants to grow food with nature instead of against nature. 

So, by combining mathemathical calculations and computer based technologies, the Pixelfarming crew can predict the most optimal conditions for crops and aim for the best harvest. Their story starts in 2017 as a small scale solution to improve, through extensive studies, the life cycle of plants. Over the years they have implemented their newly built machine, Robot one, in order to grow crops without using artificial chemicals. 

You can find them on https://pixelfarmingrobotics.com/ or at https://www.linkedin.com/company/pixelfarmingrobotics/ In this episode of Greenvolution we had the pleasure to talk to Cindy Van Dommelen, the brand manager for Pixelfarming.

Almost every family in the world is sitting on a little pile of gold. But also of copper, silver, palladium, etc. If you wonder how that is possible, have a look at the broken electrical appliances you have at home. But this treasure is alas one not to keep, as it is dangerous for our planet as much as plastic. My guest on this episode of Greenvolution, Rudof von Stokar, CEO of Reco e-waste, gives some crucial insights about the importance of urban mining, the consequences of not disposing of metals and electrical waste in the appropriate way, and explains that the chemical-free and lossless process in his manufacturing company is a real circular way of thinking and operating.

Greenvolution ha avuto il piacere di dedicare un episodio a Daniela Ducato, una pioniera della sostenibilità in Italia. Grazie al suo progetto Edizero, avviato nel 2016, la signora Ducato ha dato nuova vita alle eccedenze delle materie prime, riutilizzando i materiali di cui è ricchissimo il territorio della Sardegna, creando “seconde” materie prime da cui poi far nascere molti altri prodotti. Nel corso degli anni, Daniela Ducato è stata una presenza costante nel campo dell’eco sostenibilità, grazie a iniziative rivoluzionarie di edilizia ecologica e a varie campagne di sensibilizzazione rivolte a istituzioni e scuole. Per questo, ha ottenuto numerosi riconoscimenti in ambito internazionale, e in Italia è stata insignita del titolo di Cavaliere della Repubblica per meriti ambientali. A Greenvolution parla del suo impegno più recente nel campo della salvaguardia del patrimonio culturale e dello sviluppo sostenibile dell’arte italiana, di un’etica che recupera valori ed energie persi nel tempo, e della necessità di azioni collettive per salvare il pianeta.

L’ospite di quest’episodio di Greenvolution è Paolo Lonati, che lavora per una delle maggiori compagnie aeree come Head of Sales Operations per l’Europa. È un esperto di luxury business travel, impegnato nella sostenibilità fin da giovane.

Nel podcast si toccano vari temi, come le differenze fra la categoria di viaggiatori business e quella leisure, i vari modi in cui le compagnie aeree mondiali si stanno impegnando a rendere i viaggi più sostenibili, ecc. Uno dei punti chiave è ovviamente l’impatto di co2 che l’industria aeronautica produce e rilascia durante le percorrenze. 

Ma la parte più interessante è quella che vi proponiamo nella seconda parte dell’episodio, dove si tocca l’argomento, molto tecnico, di alimentare gli aerei con carburanti alternativi, e i metodi per produrli e stoccarli.

Is it possible to curb the horrible outcomes of trending fast fashion, which is the second cause of world pollution, by breaking the traditional business model built on the assumption of infinite growth? Is it possible to reduce the waste of linear production and linear thinking (in terms of natural resources, exploitation of workers, and use of non-renewable energies) and create high quality products that are good for the environment and the people making them? Mart Veeken, our guest for this new episode of Greenvolution, started LablFashion with the aim of redesigning the idea of fashion, making it sustainable in several respects. Together with a small team of professionals, he opened up a community in Kenya where clothes are produced literally from cotton to the t-shirt (or skirt, sweater, etc.) This eco-friendly fashion firm is proof that we can change the way we see clothes: no longer as disposable garments, but as objects with a story, created with passion and love for the planet and humankind.

In this episode of Greenvolution our guest is Luke van Enkhuizen. Luke is a digitalisation consultant with a background in sheet metal works. His provides his servies in the sheet metal market, where he helps companies integrate their machines with MES, ERP and other relevant IT systems. In the talk we had with he explains in more detail what that means, and of course we also touch upon the subject of sustainability. According to Luke, sustainability is about preventing waste of materials, energy and resources. This needs to be dealt with at the source, in planning and engineering instead of on the shop floor, he explains.
