Not Another Green Podcast

In this episode we sat down with Amelie. We chat about her journey towards publishing her first paper, how she is contributing to saving 200 kg of food every week, and how she is working towards student wellbeing on the Industrial Ecology Education Committee. Apart from that, Amelie also opens up about a topic that probably a lot of us are struggling with – impostor syndrome.

The book that Amelie mentions is Replacing GDP by 2030, written by Rutger Hoekstra.

If you are struggling with your mental health, don’t be afraid to reach out to your GP. In case you are studying or working at a university, you usually find that the university offers some counselling as well.

In this episode we talk to Dr. Stefano Cucurachi, director of studies of the Industrial Ecology programme at Leiden and Delft. We talk to him about Life-Cycle assessment the role they play in green washing and explore with him what Industrial Ecology is and how to best explain this field to others.

Hereby your second serving of Tea with IE! This time we will go all the way to Latin America to learn many interesting stories from “the margin” and Chile with our guest and fellow Industrial Ecology student, Nico. Maurizia and David chat with him, touching on a variety of topics, going from regenerative agriculture, to entrepreneurship, to architecture, to pet food, and the role of science for innovative businesses. Find out what motivates and keeps Nico moving and involved in so many amazing projects, and also how impactful it can be to look at your pet’s environmental footprint (or rather pawprint!).

Find all the references made during the episode below:

Nico’s projects: Circular Pet, Periferi.co and Food for the Future.

The FabLab in Santiago de Chile.

Latest (sixth) IPCC report.

Ernst Götsch, the Swiss farmer and researcher, find out more about Syntropic farming and regenerative agriculture in his website. Also, you can check out this documentary about his work (in Spanish).

Sebastian Salgado, the Brazilian photographer, chech out his TED talk here.

And last but not least, the Spanish artist and author of Periferias, Ricardo Cavolo (and his artwork).

What do The Hague, Glasgow, and Peru have in common? No Idea? No Problem! Let us take you on a trip to show you the fascinating world of Melissa Capcha, an environmental engineer working on climate change mitigation and adaptation projects in Peru and other South-American countries. She guides us through all her experiences with COPs, she has been attending the Conferences since the COP in Paris in 2015, where the important Paris Agreement was created. Also, she shares with us her work with the Peruvian NGO she co-founded, Centro de Innovación Climática y Sostenibilidad (Climate Innovation and Sustainability Centre). Her main message is: everyone can be part of the solution to stop global warming! So get off your couch and start COP(ing) with climate change!

You can find out more about the Conferences of the Parties in Glasgow here, and her NGO here. If you are interested in her work, find out more here.

A sustainable sex life, fast cars, the power of money… all topics that we cover (or, well, at least touch upon) in this first episode of our series "Tea with IE". Ever wondered what Industrial Ecology (IE) students do in their free time, or what they did before studying IE? Well, this is your chance. In this series, we talk to fellow IE students about interesting and more or less IE related projects, adventures or experiences in their life. For this episode, David and Maurizia sat down with Katrien and talked about the projects she has worked on before starting her master’s in Industrial Ecology (teaser: one resulted in 300 million euro less being invested in fossil fuels!). In five and a few questions we get to what drives and motivates her and where she takes hope from. Don't miss out on this source of inspiration!

Some things we talked about that you might find interesting to look up:

Rutger Bregman on “Taxes, taxes, taxes!” at the World Economic Forum here,

Café De Ceuvel,

Metabolic,

Campaign page of the “fossil free pensionfund” action (in Dutch) here,

and the Condomerie. 

In this episode, we bring you the full-on natural science side of sustainability. We interview Stephan de Roode, a meteorologist and professor at the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at TU Delft. From his expertise on the atmosphere and clouds, he explains to us the science behind global warming, the greenhouse effect, the difference between weather and climate… Also, we discuss the possibilities of geoengineering clouds as one of the solutions to global warming. Join us in this episode to find out how (Dutch) scientists went from worrying about global cooling to global warming! Check out the meme Maurizia was referring to here! 

You can find more about Stephan’s research and work here. His collaborations on the short movie on cloud radar and the podcast episode for Universiteit van Nederland can be found here and here, respectively. For those eager to learn (even) more, visit this link for the movie Stephan mentions about their work related to global warming.

DISCLAIMER: We unfortunately experienced some trouble with the audio. Sorry for the inconvenience!

We are back with our second episode! This time we interview Lea Nesselhauf, from the organization German Zero. This organization has developed a holistic policy package that would help Germany become carbon zero by 2035 in order to meet the 1.5ºC target. She will tell us what these policies entail and how German Zero works. Tune in for an interesting reflection on systemic change!

You can find out more about German Zero here: https://germanzero.de/ Check out their social media (links on their website) if you want to follow what they do!

In this very first episode, we interview Katinka Bellomo (PhD.), a researcher on tipping points and more specifically on the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation). Join us to find out what tipping points are in this 30 minutes of informative conversation. In this episode you will not only learn why tipping points are so relevant for understanding the urgency of the climate crisis, but also what the AMOC is.
