This week we spoke with Simone Unanue about her work as a sustainable architect and as sustainability manager for the 2016 Rio Olympics and 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. She even had to manage dogs and alligators as part of her work! In this ep we cover:
- sustainable infrastructure rating tools (LEED, HQE, BREEAM)
- how sustainable supply chains work on small scales and large scales (e.g. the 2016 Rio Olympics)
- why did Simone need to manage dogs and alligators at the Olympics? (new event!?)
- how many stray dogs in Rio found new homes leading up to the Olympic Games as a result of the efforts of Simone's work and her team?
- how the Rio Olympics got their Gold medals - how hard is it to find sustainable gold?
