Gillian Kerr Interview

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

vendredi 11 octobre 2024 • Durée 32:09

In this episode, Dr Gillian Kerr, emphasizes community and shared values as crucial for addressing climate emergencies. She highlighted the importance of connecting ecosystem services concepts to human behaviour and interests like cost savings to engage organizations and governments to integrate natural assets into policy. Gillian criticized the political focus on short-term gains and stressed the necessity of building legitimacy, accountability and trust when engaging citizens in conservation efforts. She also underscored the role of community engagement and the importance of asking questions to ensure sustainable practices.

Gillian identifies the challenge of information echo chambers and the polarization caused by social media slowing the winnings in favour of the environment, as she mentions the best way to reduce polarization is, instead of getting angry, to use that energy to find common ground and identify how we are related, more than how we are apart, that will lead to the conversation about what is happening and how can we make it better together.

“One of the things that have become more and more clear to me is that community, people sharing space and time, people working together, people engaging in activities together… I think that that is the premise for sustainability”.

Sammy Davies Interview

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

vendredi 11 octobre 2024 • Durée 21:46

In this episode, Samantha Davies highlights challenges such as global waste systems and the lack of composting infrastructure, advocating for local action and community engagement. Sammy promotes training programs for distribution partners to ensure proper composting practices and stresses the importance of reducing landfill waste through community composting and local support. She also calls for better government regulation to support innovative compostable products and infrastructure, aiming for widespread composting to reduce methane emissions.

Sammy suggests using positive reinforcement and fun activities to encourage people to adopt regenerative practices rather than fear-based approaches and emphasizes the importance of building systems thinking and understanding the full lifecycle of waste to make informed decisions.

“I do believe that we are in a huge transition right now, it is going to be a little messy for a little while … but with proper infrastructure and education, it is possible to have enough infrastructure to get the food waste out of the landfill and put in compost, and get an easy win in terms of reducing our methane emissions”.

And, making sure that we are working to allow other voices to be heard that aren't being heard right now. “There are so many different problems that might be more urgent to solve, like affordability of living or mental and physical health challenges, but those challenges and the ones related to environmental problems can be solved on a community basis”.

David Quigg Interview

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

vendredi 11 octobre 2024 • Durée 29:30

In this episode, David shares that part of the solution to the environmental problems is to develop a community point of view, just as he cited the passage from Wall Kimmerer’s book “Serviceberry” when after a hunt where gathers a large amount of meat, more than he can eat, he was asked by an anthropologist about how are he going to do to keep it from going bad, and hunter answered: - “oh, of course, I'm going to share it with my neighbours and with everybody around me, storage is not a problem. I store my meat in the belly of my neighbour or the belly of my brothers”-

As David mentioned, hope comes from action, so I feel hopeful when I act, and if we make decisions having in mind the impact of those decisions in at least seven generations to come, we will make better and different decisions.

“One tree didn't say I'm going to suck up all the resources and grow enormously tall... so we have to think that way as human beings, if we are going to last if we are going to be nourished and be well, how can we work together to build that strength and nourishment for all of us, not just for me and my bubbles”. David Quigg.
