Sustainability is a middle class movement: creating sustainable interior spaces with Victoria Meale

from STATE OF MIND · host Grace Kingswell

Hello and welcome back to state of mind. I’m grace Kingswell and this is my series all about health, wellness and conscious living - both from a planetary and from a health perspective.   Today I’m talking to Victoria Meale. Victoria is a sustainable interior designer and this episode starts with our discussion of what that actually means and how she goes about designing a space that’s built to last whilst focusing on using materials that don’t pollute our homes or release toxins into the air we breath.   Then the conversation shifts towards her and the way she lives her life. Victoria has a lot of insight to share on living consciously, especially with regards to how she’s bringing up her son, and she is a firm believer of needing to find acceptance of the ways that others choose to live their lives, which I think is an important concept because it’s all to easy to get on your high horse and start being preachy when it comes to 'sustainability.'   We talk about how she lives in tune with the sun, not using any blinds or curtains at home, how her, her partner and her son all co-sleep and how she deals with the judgement she feels from other mothers or people around her who disagree with the way she’s doing things.   Follow Victoria @mysustainablelife It’s certainly an interesting and thought provoking episode and I hope you enjoy it! Please do leave a 5 star review on the podcasts app if you enjoy it!  @gracekingswell

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation. This knowledge exchange workshop was part of the four months Res Not All At Once Kendall Weihe Two guys talking shop once a week. Mostly about the intersection of technology and money.
