From Random Sustainability Riffs to A New Umbrella Business Blueprint

Episode Summary: In this engaging episode, we let the conversation flow organically, leading us into discussions on various aspects of sustainability.   Topics range from paper recycling to the proliferation of thick plastic cups in markets and the visual impact of disposable coffee cups in cafes.   We also examine the environmental footprint of disposable water bottles versus reusable cups and bags, questioning the overproduction of popular items like the colorful Stanley cups.   Additionally, we brainstorm innovative business models for umbrellas, exploring ideas around recirculation and sponsorship.   Tune in as we navigate the complexities of sustainable consumption.  For more information on the project and to order your copy of the Carbon Almanac (one of Amazon best-selling books of the year!), visit  thecarbonalmanac.org  Want to join in the conversation? Visit thecarbonalmanac.org/podcasts and send us a voice message on this episode or any other climate-related ideas and perspectives.  Don’t Take Our Word For It, Look It Up! -----  Featuring Carbon Almanac Contributors Leekei Tang, Brian Tormey, Jenn Swanson, Rob Slater, and Kristina Horning  Leekei is a fashion business founder, a business coach, an international development expert, and podcaster from Paris, France.  Brian is a Real Estate Title Insurance Professional and Goat Farmer in the US.  From Langley in British Columbia, Canada, Jenn is a Minister, Coach, Writer, and community Connector, helping people help themselves.  Rob is from Birmingham in the UK, he is an orthodontist, triathlete, coach, and podcaster. Kristina has a background in architecture and engineering.
