GREENVOLUTIONLa consapevolezza è il primo passo verso la sostenibilità / Awareness is the first step towards sustainabilityScienziato, innovatore, divulgatore, scrittore e imprenditore: per Massimo Temporelli, l’ospite di questo episodio di #Greenvolution, una presentazione simile a quella di una delle personalità geniali di “Fucking genius” (il podcast ida lui deato) calza proprio a pennello. Infatti, nel corso degli anni, Temporelli si è costruito una carriera poliedrica e ha ricevuto vari riconoscimenti di prestigio, l’ultimo dei quali risale al 2024 e premia l’attività di diffusione della cultura scientifica. Fisico, e da oltre 25 anni promotore della divulgazione scientifica, Temporelli condivide con Greenvolution alcune sue opinioni sulla sostenibilità, come i dubbi e le incertezze sull’essere green, i pericoli...2024-06-1942 minGREENVOLUTIONSaving the planet one bottle at the timeIf you think that S.T. Coleridge, Iron Maiden and Andrew Eversden of Bottle up don’t have anything in common, think it over. Besides being all British, Coleridge was one of the first author to be considered proto ecologist, warning us of the dangers of going against nature. In his famous “Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner” (translated into a song by Iron Maiden), the quote “water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink” can be seen as a powerful reminder of the disastrous effects of climate change. Luckily, several genial entrepreneurs, like Andrew Eversden (co-founder of Bottle up and my gue...2024-05-1544 minGREENVOLUTIONA bright future starts with a single panelIn a recent news article we anticipated something about the Tech 4 Gambia project, which has been carried out between mid January and mid March 2024, with the aim of installimg a solar panel park in Tanji, Gambia (Africa).

However, thanks to our current guest at Greenvolution, we’ve found out it is possible to unite technology and deeply-grounded, on-the-fields (literally) expertise to realize what Pixelfarming calls “regenerative agricolture”. Its aim is simple and challenging at the same time: by using mathematics to increase food production and stop using chemical pesticides, Pixelfarming wants to grow food with nature instead of against nature. So, by combining mathemathical calculations and computer based te...2023-11-2949 minGREENVOLUTIONHeavy Metal is the solutionAlmost every family in the world is sitting on a little pile of gold. But also of copper, silver, palladium, etc. If you wonder how that is possible, have a look at the broken electrical appliances you have at home. But this treasure is alas one not to keep, as it is dangerous for our planet as much as plastic. My guest on this episode of Greenvolution, Rudof von Stokar, CEO of Reco e-waste, gives some crucial insights about the importance of urban mining, the consequences of not disposing of metals and electrical waste in the appropriate way, and...2023-10-0441 minGREENVOLUTIONIl recupero dei valori come base per la sostenibilitàGreenvolution ha avuto il piacere di dedicare un episodio a Daniela Ducato, una pioniera della sostenibilità in Italia. Grazie al suo progetto Edizero, avviato nel 2016, la signora Ducato ha dato nuova vita alle eccedenze delle materie prime, riutilizzando i materiali di cui è ricchissimo il territorio della Sardegna, creando “seconde” materie prime da cui poi far nascere molti altri prodotti. Nel corso degli anni, Daniela Ducato è stata una presenza costante nel campo dell’eco sostenibilità, grazie a iniziative rivoluzionarie di edilizia ecologica e a varie campagne di sensibilizzazione rivolte a istituzioni e scuole. Per questo, ha ottenuto numerosi riconoscimenti in ambito int...2023-04-2044 minGREENVOLUTIONSustainable TravlesL’ospite di quest’episodio di Greenvolution è Paolo Lonati, che lavora per una delle maggiori compagnie aeree come Head of Sales Operations per l’Europa.

Is it possible to reduce the waste of linear production and linear thinking (in terms of natural resources, exploitation of workers, and use of non-renewable energies) and create high quality products that are good for the environment and the people making them? Mart Veeken, our guest for this new episode of Greenvolution, started LablFashion with the aim of redesigning the idea of fashion, making it sustainable...2022-11-3052 minGREENVOLUTIONSustainability begins at the sourceIn this episode of Greenvolution our guest is Luke van Enkhuizen.

GREENVOLUTIONWater water everywhere, and not a drop to waste“Water water everywhere, and not a drop to drink” sang Iron Maiden in the mid-'80s, in what would have been for younger generations the best way to remember “The rhyme of the ancient mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. And they were both right.In this fourth episode of the Greenvolution podcast, we’re going to talk about four projects involved in saving water and our planet. In our view, one proved to be a small example of greenwashing, the other is not so necessary, and the other two are more effective and, we hope, successful.So, let’...2022-10-181h 15
