Stabilizing our climate is going to take some hard truths – and hard numbers. “If you look at 1.5 degrees, it's about 13 years,” says Stanford’s Arun Majumdar. “If you look at 2 degrees, it’s 20 years. And after that, it’s zero.” Meaning: zero time left to solve our planet’s climate problem. But there are ways to turn that zero into a plus – if we act fast enough. “We need to start thinking about carbon removal now,” says Kate Gordon of the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy. “We can't wait for the second half of the century to start doing the research and development, and getting this to scale and figuring out the technology and stopping deforestation - because these things have got to be part of the current solution.” One way to fight back? With the power of zero: a zero emissions electric grid, zero emission transportation, zero emission buildings and zero waste manufacturing. Getting to zero in those four areas could be the climate solution – if we can all get on the same page. Later in the show: Fighting climate change isn’t cheap. Where’s the money coming from – and where is it going? Greg Dalton was joined by donors big and small for a Climate One discussion on harnessing the power of the purse in the fight against climate change. Major philanthropic organizations like Hewlett, Packard and Bloomberg are at the forefront when it comes to addressing climate change. But are their dollars going to the right places? Tate Williams of Inside Philanthropy thinks they could be doing better. “I find that even today philanthropy doesn't fund the grassroots enough; they don't fund movement building enough,” says Williams. “And then in particular, I find that they don't fund communities of color and low-income communities that have the most to lose when it comes to climate change.” In many ways, small to mid-sized foundations can be more effective on a grass-roots level. But Farhad Ebrahimi, founder of the Chorus Foundation, says that creating change means bringing everyone in the community to the table. #letstalkclimate https://climateone.org/ The Electric Grid 1:43 Electrify everything? 5:03 2 billion more cars 10:40 Autonomous Vehicles 12:22 Donor Power 15:22 Philanthropy wins? 20:08 Lightening Round! 22:58

He talks about his love for outdoor hockey and how climate change affects the sport. Talking about his history with outdoor hockey, and the work he has done to get an outdoor refrigerated rink built in Kamloops, British Columbia, he sheds light on dream project - Shinny Forever. James has been working for the Sustainability Office at TRU for the last 5 years. Prior to this he did a Masters degree in Environmental Education and Communication from Royal Roads University where he wrote his thesis, Pond hockey dads and climate change: How Canadian fathers feel about the threat of losing the game they love. He is very concerned about the health of key environmental aspects of the planet and recognizes the need for deep and widespread improvements in these areas. However, he’s also deeply touched by the constant examples of inspiring people and technologies that are addressing these issues and trying to make a positive difference. He witnesses examples of this on a regular basis right here at TRU and believes that institutions of learning can and should position themselves on the front lines of tackling environmental problems.

Multistreaming with https://restream.io/?ref=nVVND Consumer choice for products has increased exponentially over the years, ranging from expensive luxuries to cheap basics. However, increased choice brings greater uncertainty about the true cost of these products, their origins, and their impact. All products and businesses are different. Is it the consumers or the producers’ responsibility to address this information gap? How can new technologies help us bring the right information to our consumers? How can you make a difference? Join this session to hear from: - Gordon Renouf​​, the CEO of Good On You​, a company that helps consumers make ethical consumption choices through increasing a product’s transparency. - Louise Garvin from Provenance.org​, a B certified corporation using blockchain technologies to get, verify and bring supply chain information to consumers.

Back in the early days of the Ecology Action Center in the 1970’s and 1980’s, when the organization was known as Operation Recycle, profits from recycling drives were utilized for tree planting efforts at Comlara Park on Evergreen Lake. Those trees are now the wonderful woods that surround much of the lake. Trees provide natural beauty for all to enjoy year-round. From the first buds of spring, to the beautiful fall colors, to the promise for the future of winter’s bare branches, trees enrich our lives. https://ecologyactioncenter.org/climate/tree-corps/ Myra Gordon, Executive Director of the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation. Myra Gordon enjoyed a wide variety of careers during her working life. Starting out as a Girl Scout Professional in St. Louis and later for Centrillio Council of Girl Scouts here, she went on to work first as a volunteer and then as Executive Director for Operation Recycle when it was McLean County’s full time recycling center. After graduate school at Illinois State, Myra enjoyed a career at State Farm, retiring in 2006. Beginning in 2007, Myra enjoyed a bonus career as the Executive Director of the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation.
