Stewardship & Sustainability Series

Trammell Crow is a Dallas, TX based businessman, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and innovative leader in business development and operations. He is the founder of EarthX, the “world’s largest” environmental expo, conference, and film festival celebrating Earth Day every April in Dallas. In 2019, EarthX saw over 177,000 attendees, 650 exhibitors, 6,500 youth, and 452 speakers. In 2020, which is the 10th anniversary of EarthX as well as the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the attendance is expected to exceed 200,000. (Learn more and register your organization at earthx.org)

In this episode, Trammell converses with Aaron Perry and

Joanie Klar (Global Advisory Board member for the Y on Earth Community) about

his Texas-style “Conservative Conservation,” which he considers an important

niche in society. The conversation also includes what can be done in the built

environment to enhance carbon sequestration, sustainability, and quality of

life. Trammell, who exhorts that “action is key” emphasizes that

awareness-raising IS action, and a critical step for the transformation of our

culture and our society’s practices. His EarthX event, which is a collection of

9 conferences at once, has several focal points: Global Youth Summit, Ocean,

and Investment Forum, to name a few.

Trammell recalls where he was on the first Earth Day in 1970, and, a long-time wildlife and habitat conservationist, implores the audience to support the Rocky Mountain Wolf Project, which is restoring native wolves to Colorado – essential for the ecological sustainability of the region. December 4th is a deadline to achieve 126,000 signatures on the Colorado ballot initiative for the wolves – you can support the effort by donating at rockymountainwolfproject.org.

Katie Garces, NP, shows and shares the wonderful personal care and beauty products from Beautycounter. Did you know that the cosmetics industry, reaping $62 Billion per year in revenues, is only regulated in the United States by a 2-page document that was enacted in the 1930s? Our skin is our largest organ, and, the sad truth is that many of the make-up, soap, and sun-screen products on the market today are dangerous – dangerous to our own health as well as the health of the environment. There are over 1,400 substances that the European Union has banned, that Beautycounter excludes over 1,500 (the “Never List”) from all of its products (working in close partnership with the Environmental Working Group (EWG).

Why play Russian Roulette with your health and well-being?

DJ Spooky (aka Paul Miller) is Chief of Strategy for Global Brain, and is a composer, multimedia artist, editor and author. Paul is the first Artist in Residence at Google and the first Artist in Residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. His DJ MIXER iPad app has seen more than 12 million downloads in the last year. He has produced and composed work for Yoko Ono, Thurston Moore, and score of artists and award-winning films. Miller’s work as a media artist has appeared in the Whitney Biennial; The Venice Biennial for Architecture; the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany; Kunsthalle, Vienna, Austria; The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and many other museums and galleries. His book, Sound Unbound (MIT Press) is a best-selling anthology of writings on electronic music and digital media.

In

this discussion, Paul shares his views on rethinking capitalism,

Earth as spaceship, our sense of Locality, the creation of a “Massive

Social Sculpture,” the myth of rationality, the myths of

advertising, the crisis of democracy, nature deficit disorder, sleep

deficit disorder, and the immense imperative to work toward mental

health, ethical culture, social justice, climate justice, and a

saner, biomimetic future. He calls us to “pull carbon out of the

air,” to “plant trees,” and to “cultivate algae” to help

heal our planet. Recognizing the fundamental necessity of an informed

populace for a well-functioning democracy, DJ Spooky suggests that

“sunlight” (ie: transparent information) is the antidote to

political pathology.

DJ Spooky also discusses his personal well-being practices, which include lots of walking and drinking tea and fresh-squeezed fruit and veggie juices on a daily basis. Keep an eye out for his “Massive Social Sculpture” works. More at: djspooky.com.

Emilie McGlone Podcast, Peace Boat

The

Emilie McGlone, Director of Peace Boat U.S., discusses how global voyages for peace are transforming students and communities around the world. Founded in Japan in 1983, Peace Boat is an international nonprofit organization that promotes peace and sustainability through educational programs as we travel the world. With voyages in the Baltic, Iceland, North Atlantic, South Africa, Kenya, Chile, the Marshall Islands, Jordan, Japan, and the United States (just to name a few) the Peace Boat cultivates cultural exchange in the context of peace education and sustainable development. The Peace Boat was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008, and has sailed on over 100 global voyages, convening and educating over 60,000 people in more than 100 countries.

Peace Boat recently launched its Ecoship initiative (the “Tesla of Cruise Ships”) to radically reduce its carbon footprint and showcase leading green technologies in ports around the globe. Committed to the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), Peace Boat fosters inter-generational collaboration, especially between youth and elders, and even has a Montessori school on board! Students also gain direct access to the Ocean & Climate Youth Ambassador program, the Youth for Disarmament movement, the Sustainable Oceans Alliance, and the Blue Innovation Summit.

Emilie McGlone has been with Peace Boat since 2004, and is currently the United Nations liaison and Director of the New York based office of Peace Boat U.S. Having lived in Japan for 10 years, after participating in the Japan Exchange & Teaching (JET) program, Emilie has a degree in International Relations and Cultural Studies from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. When on land, she frequents parks and practices “shinrin yoku” (Japanese: “forest bathing”) in parks and woodlands to maintain a personal connection to the natural living world, especially living much of the time in New York City.

Peace Boat is docking in New York City again on June 14, 2020, where it is hosting a special event onboard, and will be then traveling on to Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico from June 20-July 3rd, 2020. Special SDG scholarships are available for youth (ages 18-30) – more information at: www.peaceboat.org/english and www.ecoship-pb.com.
