On October 4, 2016, climate scientist Dr. James Hansen and his granddaughter Sophie Kivlehan discussed a critical issue: "the assumption that young people will somehow figure out a way to undo the deeds of their forebears, has crept into and spread like a cancer through UN climate scenarios."

This conversation underscores the urgency of their paper, "Young People's Burden: Requirement of Negative CO2 Emissions" by James Hansen et al. You can download the full PDF here.

Good bacteria offer solutions to climate change by reducing food waste, supporting the plant-based food revolution, and fostering healthy crops without chemical pesticides. Camilla Lercke, Global Director of Sustainability & ESG at Chr. Hansen, is a passionate advocate for these sustainable benefits.

Lercke's insights were shared at a TEDx event. To watch her talk and others from the TEDxDalbergCatalyst series, visit surprisingpowerofsmall.com. Learn more about TEDx at ted.com/tedx.

Kris Gasteratos, founder of the Cellular Agriculture Society (CAS) and author of "90 Reasons," recently met with Suzette Bishop at Google NY. Their discussion focused on lab-grown meat, cellular agriculture, and Project CMF.

Project CMF (Cell-based Meat Facility) is a CAS design initiative conceptualizing New York's meat production by 2040, where animal cells are farmed instead of animals. Over a dozen leading cell-based meat scientists were consulted to create an ambitious yet realistic vision. Kris Gasteratos is the Lead Concept Designer, with Mihai Iacubovschi as Lead Visual Designer.

Beyond Plastics hosted a discussion with investigative journalist Sharon Lerner and former 3M scientist Kris Hansen. Hansen discovered PFOS/PFAS "forever chemicals" in public blood. Lerner's expose, published in ProPublica and The New Yorker, detailed Hansen's research and revealed 3M had suppressed evidence of the chemicals' widespread presence decades earlier.

The discussion addressed critical questions: What is PFOS? How did it contaminate nearly everyone, including newborns? What are its health and environmental impacts, its link to plastics, and what protective measures can be taken?
