Omega-3 is easily the most popular supplement in America. Recent studies have found that roughly 8% of adults—or about 19 million people—take some kind of omega-3 fatty acid supplement. But, the harvesting of fish for these supplements is having a ripple effect on our oceans. Omega-3 supplements come from fish in the critical layer of the ocean biosphere that are essential for preserving ecosystem dynamics. With no signs of slowing down, the industry risks permanently damaging our marine ecosystems and impacting the ocean’s resiliency to climate change. Corinna Bellizzi is taking the lead in changing the tide as she hopes to prevent yet another human-caused environmental imbalance. Corinna is a natural products industry specialist who has earned a reputation for leading the development and growth of responsible brands like Nordic Naturals. Given her concern for the future health of both people and the planet, she shifted her focus from fish-sourced to algae-sourced omegas in 2016. Today, she leads Örlö Nutrition, a brand that is cultivating the world’s first carbon-negative omega-3 supplement. During this episode, Corinna and I had an insightful conversation about the importance of extracting less and supplying more when it comes to our oceans, and the potential that algae has to revolutionize the omega-3 industry.

Across all industries, the future is being dictated by a focus on sustainability - and sports are no exception. Just last year, the Tokyo Olympics set out to raise awareness about the role that sports play in sustainability. Podiums were made from recycled plastic, athletes’ beds were made with cardboard, and even the medals were made using recycled electronic devices. Although this is a step in the right direction, the sports industry as a whole continues to have a significant impact on the environment, from the construction of venues to the travel of competitors and spectators. Sustainability expert Kristen Fulmer has made it her mission to transform the future of sustainable sports. After years of practicing sustainability in the international real estate industry, she identified the vastly impactful and largely unexplored potential to fuse sport and sustainability. Kristen realized that sport is a universal language, an opportunity to find commonalities, and a tool to facilitate tough conversations. She founded Recipric in 2019 to help sports organizations seeking support with enacting positive environmental and social change. In this episode, Kristen and I discuss the economic opportunities for embedding sustainability into sports and the potential challenges associated with doing so.

Public discourse around climate change widely focuses on reaching net zero emissions. Yet, some propose that even after we reach net zero, temperatures will continue to warm, sea levels will continue to rise, and climate disasters will continue to occur. There are currently a number of proposed ideas that go beyond net zero by pulling carbon out of the atmosphere or artificially cooling the planet, known collectively as geoengineering. While geoengineering methods don’t invalidate the need to decarbonize now and fast, given the dangerous trajectory of global heating, reaching net zero emissions may only be the beginning, not the end, of our fight against climate change. Wake Smith argues that future generations may be forced to take such dire actions to combat climate change and, if so, they deserve to inherit research done now to understand the potential feasibility and consequences of geoengineering. As a lecturer at Yale University, Wake teaches a world-leading undergraduate course on climate intervention, the syllabus of which forms the basis of his book, Pandora’s Toolbox. He is also a Senior Research Fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard Kennedy School, writing scholarly articles on the aeronautics, costs, and governance of solar geoengineering. In this episode, Wake and I discuss the current climate intervention landscape and the future possibilities that geoengineering offers.

Climate change is forcing consumers to reevaluate their shopping habits, and the motorcycle industry is no exception. Riders are looking for options that will help them reduce their impact on the environment, as traditional gas motorcycles are large contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. There is hope on the horizon as, according to the United Nations, shifting to 90% of battery-powered electric motorcycles by 2030 will dramatically reduce carbon emissions by 11 billion tons from now to 2050. In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jay Giraud, a leader in the electric motorcycle space. The co-founder and CEO of Damon Motors, Jay has focused his efforts on redefining mobility by creating an eco-conscious motorcycle experience. He is passionate about the fact that electric motorcycles will not only lead us into a greener future but also have immediate positive impacts on both people and the planet. Jay is also the author of multiple patents and has spoken extensively about automotive, mobility, and cleantech at various conferences around the world. During this episode, Jay and I had an insightful conversation about how the introduction of a fully electric high-performance option for motorcyclists will change the future of sustainable transportation.
