Imperfect Eco-Hero is a series focused on using story-telling as a way to connect with and celebrate eco-heroes across the globe fighting the climate crisis, presenting stories that inspire and deepen our understanding and respect for the planet. By changing the way we view our relationship with nature and taking a more intersectional approach to environmentalism, we believe that the seemingly impossibilities of this climate crisis can be made possible and environmental justice can be achieved.
Leftover Food for Thought with Dr. Raoul Stöckle (Äss-Bar)
While there is no doubt that WHAT we eat impacts climate change most, however, what about HOW we eat? One third of all food produced globally goes to food waste; at the same time, food insecurity is an increasing issue all across the world. These were just some of the thoughts four friends in Switzerland asked themselves when they brainstormed together what they could do more to tackle this problem. Project Äss-Bar was created as not only a business in a new niche, but also as a community-based project to reduce food wastage across Switzerland. Today’s guest and one of the founders of Äss-Bar, Dr. Raoul Stöckle, will talk more about how they’re tackling these issues and more, all through baked goods.

The Gamification of Nature with Daniel Fernandez Galeote
Games serve so many different roles in our lives. They can be a form of art, they can be a method of escapism from the hecticness of life, and they can convene community by connecting people all across the world. But can games also heal our relationship to nature and help us navigate the climate crisis? Today’s guest, Daniel Fernandez Galeote is a game designer and a doctoral researcher at the Gamification Group, Tampere University. His research aims to understand the potential of games for climate change engagement and combines the study of existing games with the creation of new ones. His work is enriched by frequent conversations with scientists, educators, activists, and game developers, among others and considers a variety of environmental issues and topics.

Becoming a Plastic Warrior with Kristal Ambrose & Asia Butler
The islands of The Bahamas are a tropical hot spot and rank among the best destinations in the world for its beauty, stunning coral reefs, and a spectacular diversity of marine life. But like every coastal region in the world, unfortunately, the Bahamas is also home to ocean plastic pollution. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of both our guests today, Kristal Ambrose and Asia Butler, the Bahamas is moving towards a healthier future above and below the surface. Both Bahamian natives, Kristal is the founder of Bahamas Plastic Movement, a non-profit that is building a community of education and activism around plastic pollution in this Caribbean island chain. Asia is one of her students from her Plastic Warrior summer camp programs and citizen science projects, making profound change not only within the non-profit but in her community as well. Kristal and Asia’s work is especially significant and relevant given the recent global achievement made. Just earlier this month at the United Nations Environmental Assembly 173 countries agreed to develop a legally binding treaty on plastics to end plastic pollution! Thanks to both of their immense love for the underwater world, Kristal and Asia, along with all the Bahamas Plastic Movement crew, are truly creating positive change for the ocean.
