Waste and the Climate Crisis

Peggy and Jury Gualandris, associated professor, Ivey Business School, talk about circularity and waste. He explains what waste means for the climate crisis and why it is important—both in terms of negatives and positives—saying methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with 100 years global warming potential, which is 30 times larger than CO2, and that 60% of the total food production is currently wasted in Canada, which mostly happens upstream, and yet waste also represents opportunities. They also discuss: The importance of becoming more aware of consumption expectations. Why people struggle with circularity. Three questions to consider for success. ivey.uwo.ca/sustainability/priorities/circular-economy  (11/16/21 - 746) IoT, Internet of Things, Peggy Smedley, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, cybersecurity, blockchain, 5G cloud, sustainability, future of work, podcast, Jury Gualandris, Ivey Business School
