Solve For Nature

Veeral Hardev is the VP of Strategy at Ubiquitous Energy. He has over a decade of experience commercializing novel nano-materials products for the electronics industry. Why's that important? Because Ubiquitous Energy and the group of MIT and MSU scientists that started it, are looking for new ways to reduce humanity’s carbon footprint by seamlessly integrating solar power technology into everyday products and surfaces. 

Ubiquitous Energy is the world leader in transparent solar technology working towards a goal of helping solve climate change by creating truly transparent renewable energy for every surface across the globe. Ubiquitous Energy’s patented technology, UE Power™, is the world’s first invisible electricity-generating alternative to traditional windows. UE Power™ harvests solar energy and serves as an invisible, onboard source of electricity for greater energy efficiency. Founded by scientists from MIT, Ubiquitous Energy is now producing its highly transparent, efficient solar cells in a production facility in Silicon Valley.

Neil Sims is a marine biologist with a professional commitment to "softening mankind's footprint on the seas". After working in fisheries management he began to recognize the need for us all to move "more towards a culture of nurture" of marine resources rather than a purely extractive approach. As marine finfish stocks worldwide continued to decline, Neil and his partners saw both opportunity and imperative to apply their invertebrate hatchery and growout expertise to help solve the world's looming seafood crisis and formed Ocean Era, formerly Kampachi Farms.

Ocean Era focuses on the global need for expanded production of high-value, marine fin-fish, and pursuit of "next generation" technologies, including: remote offshore culture systems, more sustainable and scale-able feeds, and new species based in Hawaii. Through innovative research, and application of the best available science, Ocean Era strives to remain on the cutting edge of healthy, environmentally responsible seafood.

Today we're talking with Michael Bayliss, host of the Post-Growth Australia Podcast (PGAP), activist for within the environmental and post-growth movements, Communications Manager and former Victoria/Tasmanian President at Sustainable Population Australia (SPA). 

The focus of his work involves advocacy regarding choice for small families and for working cooperatively with our global neighbours to create equitable societies that do not rely on perpetual growth. On his podcast, Michael talks to experts to unpack the notion of post-growth societies and what this means for us, for future generations and for the planet.

It's a long episode that covers a lot of ground, so I hope you guys enjoy it!
