Why Mainstream Media Is Lying About the Environment w/Barbara Wiseman
Welcome to Compassiviste Dialogues. I'm Ali, your host, and my mission with this podcast is to shed light on critical social and environmental issues worldwide, exploring avenues for positive change.
Today I’m joined by Barbara Wiseman, co-founder and president of the Earth Organization. With over 40 years of experience in humanitarian and environmental leadership, Barbara has led transformative water access projects, developed oil spill cleanup technologies now used in 70+ countries, and rescued wildlife on a global scale.
In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to create lasting ecological and social impact. Barbara shares her philosophy of cooperative ecology, a science-based methodology for solving problems that honors people, wildlife, and the planet. She also reflects on her decades of experience, revealing how community, accountability, and practical action can create meaningful, measurable change.
ABOUT GUEST:
Barbara Wiseman co-founded The Earth Organization in 2003 with Dr. Lawrence Anthony, becoming its International President and heading up its global initiatives. She has 30 years management consulting, public relations, and international pioneer project management experience. As just one example, seven years ago, in looking for solutions to the largest global environmental situations, she came across a relatively unknown science of water that provided the foundation for a potential body of knowledge to locate sustainable water resources in drought-prone regions.
She brought together a team of scientists to validate, document, codify and expand the science, identifying and allying the top experts in the field. Her purpose was to build alliances to advance and implement TEO’s environmental solutions to regions in dire need of water resources and to ensure that this science is broadly implemented for the benefit of humankind and all life. The work of this team resulted in the Deep Seated Water Technology now being implemented around the world.
KEY NOTES:
Lessons from a Lifetime of Environmental Leadership: Insights from Barbara’s 40+ years of pioneering work.
Designing Human Systems Inspired by Nature: How ecological principles guide sustainable solutions.
Why Interdependence Matters: Understanding the connections between communities, economies, and ecosystems.
From Ideas to Action: How small contributions and community-led solutions can drive real transformation.
