| S7E8 'Building websites that emit 99% less C02 ', with Jesse Ramon Brown from Sprout 🌱 | 11 juin 2025 | 00:35:38 | |
In a previous episode of the EcoSend Podcast, we learned that around 250,000 new websites are built every day..! The Sustainability credentials of such websites are rarely, if ever, taken into consideration. Many website builders focus on competitive feature 'arms-races', particularly the race to implement AI as quickly and as far-reaching as possible. Fortunately, not all website builders have fallen into this. And that is just what our latest guest on the EcoSend Podcast is here to talk to us about. Jesse Ramon Brown is the founder and CEO of Enverse Labs and Sprout, the no-code platform that lets anyone build sustainable, accessible, and high-performance websites in just minutes. Sprout websites have an average weight of just 35KB, remarkably lower than the standard website averages. So please join us for this fascinating episode as James sat down with Jesse to discuss topics including: 🇪🇸 The Renewable energy startup scene in Spain We're so excited to see what the future holds for Sprout, who are pioneering a novel approach to building websites, which are better for both people and planet.

| S7E7 'Is AI the Enemy of Sustainability?', with Matt Ville from HiYield 🎨 | 04 juin 2025 | 00:41:58 | |
As AI continues to dominate headlines across the Tech Space, and with seismic new technologies being introduced on almost a weekly basis, we are delighted to welcome another expert in the AI and Digital Sustainability space, for episode seven of this season. Matt Ville is CTO & Founder at Hiyield, a B Corp based in Cornwall UK, who create bespoke websites and apps, designed with sustainability at their core. The meteoric rise of AI poses many questions to Digital Sustainability. ChatGPT-3 is 10 times more energy demanding than a Google search, and training ChatGPT-4 is estimated to have used 50 times more energy than training the previous model. Many major tech companies find themselves struggling to meet net-zero commitments due to increased data and computing power demands. But is it that straight-forward? Is AI a villain and dire threat to Sustainability, or can its power be harnessed for good? Do join us for this fascinating episode as James sat down with Matt to try to answer that question, as well as topics including: 👣 Matt's journey to founding HiYield The nature of AI's role in our future remains very uncertain. Whether positive or negative, its effects will certainly be wide-reaching. A big thank you to Matt for joining us for this episode, and for bringing his expertise to a help clarify such a complex discussion. We hope you enjoy the episode 💚 About Matt Ville: Further Resources from the episode:

| S7E6 'Creating Circular Economy for Creative Materials', with Frieda Bischoff of Renée Materials 👗 | 28 mai 2025 | 00:36:49 | |
"We're building the 'TooGoodToGo' for the Creative Material industry!" Waste is a massive, global problem. Across the world, ton after ton of high-quality material is sent to landfill or incinerators. And yet concurrently, there is a huge demand for creative material; ranging from different fabrics, leather, paper, and more. Seeing the challenge of these two extremes, one company in particular is fighting to bridge the gap. And that is 'Renée Materials', co-created by our sixth guest of the season, Frieda Bischoff. Renee is a digital platform that enables companies to sell their leftover, surplus stock and offcut waste to be reused. So instead of being sent to landfill, surplus materials can be purchased at a great price, and re-enter the market. We were delighted Frieda joined us for this episode, and sat down with James to discuss: 🌲 Her childhood growing up in the Black Forest of Germany Frieda's episode was so uplifting, and we really felt her passion and positive outlook permeate through this chat.

Marketers wield an incredibly powerful influence over the general public. But as our latest guest argues, this power must be coupled with a strong sense of responsibility, in order for Marketing to have a positive influence over people and planet.

| S7E4 'Building Digital Products using Eco-Design', with Creek & Pine 🫶 | 14 mai 2025 | 00:40:06 | |
Even in 2025, awareness of the carbon footprint of Digital activity seems to remain in its infancy. As the world slowly wakes up to the reality of the Climate Challenge, many of us in the Digital space find that Sustainability efforts lag behind other sectors. But with over 250,000 new websites being created every DAY, the carbon impact of our online activity is monumental. Fortunately, there are trailblazing companies out there, striving to bring eco-design and ethical principles to Digital products. And one of those voices is the team at Creek & Pine - Croatia’s first digital agency that designs and builds low carbon, accessible, beautiful websites based on ethically sourced and used data. So join James as he sat down with Martina Dodo and Martina Nemcic to discuss: 🇭🇷 Being the first Digital Sustainability Agency in Croatia The two Martinas at Creek & Pine are wonderful humans, and we really enjoyed inviting them on the show to hear their story.

| S7E3 'Can AI ever go Green?', with Robert Keus of GreenPT 🤖 | 07 mai 2025 | 00:36:44 | |
The use of AI has sky-rocketed within a very short space of time. And with this explosion of growth, comes many concerns around Ethics, Privacy, and Sustainability. With so many companies racing to implement AI-at-all-costs, many are concerned about the unknown implications of AI, and the many questions remain unanswered. Fortunately, there are some companies out there actively looking to address these concerns. And one of those companies is spear-headed by our third guest of this season; Robert Keus of GreenPT. A seasoned entrepreneur, Robert and his team are on a mission to release the first climate-conscious AI platform, and provide an alternative to ChatGPT. And to answer the burning question; "Can we make our usage of AI ethical and sustainable?" So join James as he sat down with Robert to discuss: 👶 Starting his first business at age 14(!) AI is THE topic of our current time, and we are delighted to see companies like GreenPT bringing a Sustainable and Ethical focus to AI deployment. We hope they may set a trend for others to follow.

| S7E2 'Decarbonising Aviation Fuel', with Sophie Zienkiewicz of CNF Energy 🛫 | 30 avr. 2025 | 00:32:33 | |
It's episode two of Season Seven, and we're flying high with our latest guest! Sophie Zienkiewicz is on a mission to decarbonise the aviation fuel industry, and make 'Sustainable Aviation Fuel' (SAF) the new normal. With only 0.5% of the airline industry currently using SAF, Sophie and the team at CNF Energy are doing all they can to change that. A single round trip from London to New York emits just over 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents, and the average carbon footprint in the UK is 5.4 tonnes per person. So flying can typically be someone's single biggest source of CO2 in a year. But as Sophie points out, it is not flying itself which is the problem. It is the environmental impact of aviation fuel which is the issue. Change the fuel, reduce the impact. So join James as he sat down with Sophie to discuss: 👣 A journey launched by COP26 This was a great episode, and we particularly loved Sophie's quote, "By 2030 I want to have our future Prime Minister flying on our Sustainable Aviation Fuel". We hope you enjoy the episode 💚 About Sophie Zienkiewicz: Further Resources from the episode:

| S6E9 'How to Make Advertising a Force for Good', with The Good Net 🕸️ | 13 nov. 2024 | 00:34:58 | |
When it comes to Advertising, you're probably picturing Don Draper types, or perhaps that latest spammy pop-up you had to drive away from your screen. Advertising often gets a bad rep, especially for its deliberate drive towards Consumerism. But as our latest guest explains, it doesn't have to be this way!

Not only that, but Ethical Advertising need not be a compromise to Marketers, but has been proven to outperform standard Ads and deliver better results for their clients. So join us for our first episode on Ethical Advertising, as Ollie chatted to James about: 💸 Raising £1 million in Angel Investment to launch 'The Good Net' It's amazing to see driven individuals like Ollie out there in the world, driving change even within controversial industries. After all, we all need to pull forward together if we are going to face the climate challenge. Advertisers included!

| S6E5 'Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled-up', with Osprey Orielle Lake 🕊️ | 16 oct. 2024 | 00:31:48 | |
There's no doubt we live in a time of crisis. Day after day, we read news and stories about the worsening climate challenge. Yet little do we hear stories of hope.

And so we are delighted to welcome Osprey Orielle Lake to The EcoSend Podcast, to bring a fresh perspective on the vital role which women and indigenous cultures can play in safeguarding our planet (and our own!) future.

It's Episode 3, and we're back this time with Tim Maiden of Green Small Business! At EcoSend, we're committed not only to reducing the carbon footprint of email, but of our own footprint as a business too.

We're back with Episode Two! We often talk about the importance of Climate Sustainability, but what about the importance of Business Sustainability?

When it comes to talking about Sustainability, we always think about here 'on the ground' on Planet Earth. But what about that vast, infinite Universe sitting above our heads? Space! What role can Space and satellites have in Sustainability? Can we use Space Technology to build a better future for ourselves, or will it end-up yet another contributing factor to the Climate Challenge?

| S4E9 'Fighting Greenhushing paralysis', with Maddy Cooper 🦸♀️ | 27 mars 2024 | 00:33:40 | |
More and more brands these days are self-censoring their Sustainability efforts, due to fear of being called out for Greenwashing. But as today's guest Maddy Cooper explains, this "paralysis of Greenhushing" is incredibly damaging for the success and momentum of the Sustainability movement.

| S4E8 'Helping Slow Brands Reveal Their Wild Side!', with Julien Massiot 🐯 | 20 mars 2024 | 00:38:52 | |
Advertising often gets a bad rep in Sustainability circles, and that can be for good reason. Too often, Adverting is used as a tool to manipulate people into purchases they don't need, or to divert attention away from or 'greenwash' companies' Sustainability credentials. This was the dilemma Julien Massiot faced many years ago, when he realised he could not separate his values from his work, and started refusing Advertising campaigns for products he disagreed with morally. Realising he had to go it alone, Julien founded 'Wild & Slow' - a Sustainable Advertising company. Julien now brings his 15 years of experience in advertising to help Sustainable brands find their voice and spread their mission. In one of our most entertaining episodes so far, Julien spoke to James about:
Julien's story is a fantastic example of firmly placing his values and mission at the forefront of his career direction. And a great reminder we can have far more positive impact in our business than just in our personal lives. 💚 About Julien Massiot: Further Resources from the episode:

Cornwall may be best-known on the Sustainability map for its expansive Eden Project site, but nestled just down the road from Eden Project sits another trailblazing site for a better future. Caroline Stephenson's journey to building 'The Meadow Barns - An Education Centre for Climate Hope', started back in the 90s and her mother's mission to install two wind turbines.

| S4E3 'Purpose-driven film-making, and rejecting Louis Vuitton', with Magali Seyvet 🎥 | 14 févr. 2024 | 00:34:07 | |
It's all very well to hold values 'on paper', but when those values are tested by business decisions, many change-makers find themselves sadly making compromises. That can involve agreeing to work for clients who you know don't match with your mission. But the financial incentives can be hard to say no to, especially for freelancers in the Sustainability and Regenerative Business sector. Magali Seyvet however, is not one for compromises! Magali is on a mission to harness the power of film-making and narrative to create positive-change. But not only does she prioritise working with clients who share her values, she categorically refuses to work with those who don't! In this episode we loved getting to know Magali and her take on: 🚜 Her journey to today, from studying Engineering & Agronomy, to independent film-making. Magali is an incredible example of a no bullsh*t approach to aligning purpose with business; unafraid to have tough conversations and to say 'non' to misaligned work, so that can focus on well-aligned work.
