And although many industry leaders are very concerned that their work is fueling the climate crisis, the biggest agencies continue to take on the fossil fuel companies and other major polluters as clients. The UK trade bodies deny that advertising leads to increased consumption and say that only 12% of advertising is effective (so nothing to see here).Dr Victoria Harvey worked for a decade to try to change the industry from within, but when it showed that...2025-07-2740 min

Running with Coach Tori and JeffGrand Slam Philly, Enhanced Games and banning field events*** We recorded this before the news of Grand Slam LA being cancelled. We will discuss it next time we record!
1. Grand Slam Track Philadelphia
Thoughts on the event itself - crowd, venue, atmosphere....
Results:
a. The 1500 is the best running event - prove me wrong.
b. Sydney - a brave effort to challenge herself. The 110 hurdles was unremarkable (finished 5th) but was impressive in the 100m finishing 2nd.
c. 3000m - What happened to Grant? In my opinion this was a bit of a protest.

Lets discuss the changes:
a.2 days not 3 days (love it - as you know I complained about this in Miami)
b. no 5K anymore (just a 3K and 1/2 the prize money - Sorry Grant) - I like the change but thing they should have gotten rid of the3K and kept the 5K as it is an olympic event.
