On this episode of Mizter Rad Show, our guest Terry Paule joins us to discuss the pressing issue of water scarcity and the innovative solution of botanical water technologies. We delve into the alarming statistics of 200 million man-hours spent every day carting water for survival, predominantly by women and young girls who miss out on education. Terry highlights the persistent water issue in developing countries and the lack of focus on this issue in the developed world due to other distractions.

We explore the recent United Nations water conference, which acknowledged the impact of water scarcity and contamination and set the goal of providing clean drinking water to everyone by 2030 as part of the sustainability development goals. However, Terry points out that we are far behind achieving this goal, and by 2030, 40% of the world's population will be affected by water scarcity.

In response to this challenge, Terry introduces their business model of sustainable capitalism, aiming to shift from a shareholder model to a stakeholder model that includes both shareholders and recipients of the water in decision-making. They have developed a commercial standard water harvest unit, housed in a shipping container, which purifies water from waste products in industries such as tomato sauce factories. A key aspect of their solution is the Botanical Water Exchange, a platform that connects water suppliers and demand, specifically targeting corporates with environmental, social, and governance goals.

Terry discusses their partnership with Fujitsu to create a blockchain trading platform for water exchange and emphasizes the importance of helping Fortune 500 companies and other industries achieve their sustainability goals.
