Getting Plastic Out of Our Daily Routines with Lindsay McCormick of BITE (Episode 56)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your daily hygiene routine has more to do with the future of our planet than you may think.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Around the world, 1.5 billion toothpaste tubes are discarded each year, enough to fill 50 Empire State Buildings. And since most tubes are made of mixed materials, typically plastic and aluminum, they are incredibly difficult to recycle and often wind up in landfills. The design has changed very little since the invention of the first toothpaste tube in 1856, but that’s starting to change.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lindsay McCormick is the founder and CEO of Bite, makers of plastic-free, cruelty-free products on a mission to become the world’s most sustainable personal care company. Lindsay has built a multimillion-dollar company aimed at getting plastic out of our daily routines with her first product being viral toothpaste tablets in 2018. Since then, Bite has created an entirely plastic-free oral care set and most recently, released the first ever 100% plastic-free deodorant with compostable refills and its plastic-free and pump-free body balm.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">During this episode, Lindsay and I had an insightful conversation about the challenges she faces as a pioneer in her industry and her advice for new founders seeking to make a change.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resources mentioned in today’s episode:<br /></span><a href= "https://bitetoothpastebits.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://bitetoothpastebits.com/</span></a><br /> <a href="https://bitetoothpastebits.com/blogs/blog"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://bitetoothpastebits.com/blogs/blog</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Lindsay McCormick:<br /></span><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsay-mccormick-39188521/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsay-mccormick-39188521/</span></a><br /> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/heylindsaymc/?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> https://www.instagram.com/heylindsaymc</span></a></p> <p>Visit Coolperx® home page: <a href= "http://www.coolperx.com">www.coolperx.com</a><br /> Reach out to Coolperx®:<br /> Phone: +1 (855) 429-0455<br /> Email: <a href="mailto:%20hello@coolperx.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">hello@coolperx.com</a></p> <p>Support Coolperx®’s podcast by subscribing and reviewing!<br /> Music is considered “royalty-free” and discovered on Audio Blocks.</p> <p>Technical Podcast Support by: <a href= "https://www.wayfarerecording.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Jon Keur at Wayfare Recording Co.</a></p> <p>© 2022 Coolperx®.

Green Amendments and Environmental Rights with Maya K. van Rossum (Episode 55)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several states have recently enacted—or are considering enacting—constitutional amendments that protect our right to live in a healthy environment. Such policies ensure that in every action the government takes, the protection of our world is prioritized. Yet, in conversations about our fundamental rights, such as freedom of speech and religion, the right to a stable climate and access to clean water and air are often overlooked.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Veteran environmentalist Maya K. van Rossum proposes raising environmental rights to the highest constitutional standing is critical to ensuring essential climate justice. She is the founder of Green Amendments for The Generations, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring the passage of environmental legislation in every state constitution across our nation and at the federal level when the time is right. Green Amendments–a term coined and defined by Maya in her 2017 award-winning book–recognize and protect environmental rights on par with other inalienable civic and political freedoms. She has also served as the leader of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network for over 30 years, a regional advocacy organization that works throughout the four states of the Delaware River watershed and at the national level using advocacy, science, and litigation to protect the Delaware River and its tributaries. In this episode, Maya and I discuss the specific language written into Green Amendments that make them so powerful, and what an environmental right at the federal level might look like for the U.S.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Resources mentioned in today’s episode:</strong><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://forthegenerations.org/">https://forthegenerations.org/</a><br /> </span> <a href="https://www.delawareriverkeeper.org/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.delawareriverkeeper.org/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to A Healthy Environment</strong><br /></span><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Green-Amendment-Securing-Healthy-Environment/dp/1633310213"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.amazon.com/Green-Amendment-Securing-Healthy-Environment/dp/1633310213</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Connect with Maya van Rossum:</strong><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/maya-van-rossum-21803114/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/maya-van-rossum-21803114/</a><br /> </span> <a href="https://twitter.com/MayaKvanRossum"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://twitter.com/MayaKvanRossum</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Visit Coolperx® home page: <a href= "http://www.coolperx.com">www.coolperx.com</a><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reach out to Coolperx®:<br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Phone: +1 (855) 429-0455<br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Email: <a href="mailto:%20hello@coolperx.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">hello@coolperx.com</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Support Coolperx®’s podcast by subscribing and reviewing!<br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Music is considered “royalty-free” and discovered on Audio Blocks.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Technical Podcast Support by: <a href="https://www.wayfarerecording.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Jon Keur at Wayfare Recording Co.</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">© 2022 Coolperx®.

The Unsolved Problems of Sustainable Cement Production with Ian Riley (Episode 54)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The road to decarbonization hasn’t been an easy one for the cement industry. The sector, which produces about 4 billion metric tons of the world’s most common building material, simultaneously puts almost 4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year, or about 7% of the world’s total emissions. But, thanks to leaders like Ian Riley, movement is happening. In 2019, Ian joined the World Cement Association as CEO, leading the organization’s key mission of sustainability, innovation and internationalization to face the challenges associated with creating a sustainable cement industry. He is responsible for motivating members to improve product selection, use new technologies and drive innovation to find approaches for less energy-intensive and more sustainable cement production. Ian is passionate about reducing the industry’s GHG emissions so as to accelerate the response to climate change and achieve full decarbonization by 2050. During this episode, Ian and I had an insightful conversation about some of the unsolved problems that are standing in the way of more sustainable cement production.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resources mentioned in today’s episode:<br /></span><a href= "https://www.worldcement.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.worldcement.com/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Ian Riley:<br /></span><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ipriley/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.linkedin.com/in/ipriley/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Visit Coolperx® home page: <a href="http://www.coolperx.com">www.coolperx.com</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reach out to Coolperx®:<br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Phone: +1 (855) 429-0455<br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Email: <a href= "mailto:%20hello@coolperx.com">hello@coolperx.com</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Support Coolperx®’s podcast by subscribing and reviewing!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Music is considered “royalty-free” and discovered on Audio Blocks.<br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Technical Podcast Support by: <a href="https://www.wayfarerecording.com">Jon Keur at Wayfare Recording Co.</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">© 2022 Coolperx®.
