    Episode 15 - Interview with Seth Klein on A Good War: Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency
    Jun 30 2021

    Today's episode is a special one, as Yuko and Maia interview Seth Klein about his recently released book: A Good War - Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency. Seth has a wealth of experience on climate activism and the political stage of Canada, and his new book is well worth the read for anyone interested in learning how this country in currently dealing (or not dealing) with the climate emergency, and how so much more can and should be done similar to Canada's push for action during the second World War.

  • Episode 14: Let's Talk - Fast Fashion Part 2

    Episode 14: Let's Talk - Fast Fashion Part 2
    Jun 16 2021
    In this week's episode of the EcoThink Podcast, Yuko and I revisit the topic of Fast Fashion, taking more time to discuss the social justice and human rights issues that are tangled up in this goliath of an industry. Talking points include the closing of the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, a legal accord that was created as a result of the 2013 collapse of Rana Plaza that has expired in May 2021; what are the COVID impacts on workers in fast fashion; suggestions for western consumers of clothing on how to address these issues; and what kind of mindset shift needs to happen for companies to embody sustainability as a main tenet of their design and operations.   Sources: Slow Fashion in a Fast Fashion World: Promoting Sustainability and Responsibility by Mark K.

    Episode 13: Interview with Dr. Cherisse Du Preez on Deep Sea Exploration and Impacts of Climate Change
    Jun 9 2021
    Welcome back to Episode 13 of The EcoThink Podcast! This week Yuko and I sit down for a very exciting talk with Dr. Cherisse Du Preez who is an amazing deep sea marine biologist with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans here in Canada. Listen to her blow our minds as we talk about the amazing biodiversity that exists in the deep ocean here in the Pacific Northwest, the extreme nature of the habitat near deep sea vents and on sea mounts, and how human impacts have already reached this mysterious part of the world.   Also, Cherisse shares with us how to keep up with current work, as next week on June 15th she and her team will be off to explore Canada's deepest sea mounts for the first time. I recommend following Cherisse on social media @CherisseDuPreez to keep up to date with new developments, and check out #pacificseamounts2021 to follow the expedition as they live stream their findings!   Sources and additional links:
