Erica has a passion for working with Youth in her community by connecting them with their identity as First Nations people of their homeland. She became connected to her culture and identity in 2011 when she attended her first ceremony at the Turtle Lodge in Sagkeeng First Nation and has been learning from her Indigenous elders ever since. She currently runs a cultural program at the Broadway Neighbourhood Centre and mentors youth in video production and graphic design through Kejic Productions and the Just TV Program.

While a reporter at The Washington Post, Barton Gellman was one of three journalists Edward Snowden picked to review the vast and explosive archive of highly classified files revealing the extent of the American government's access to our every communication. Those three shared the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for their work. But that was only the beginning for Gellman. He went on to dig deeper into both the U.S. surveillance state and Snowden’s own complicated history. As he sought the truth, Barton was harassed with legal threats, government investigations and foreign intelligence agencies intent on stealing his files. Come for a detailed look at Edward Snowden, America's surveillance state now and post-COVID, as well as Mr. Gellman’s own account of his personal cloak-and-dagger experience of being surveilled by unknown adversaries.

Three quarters of all farmland is devoted to #AnimalAgriculture. The destruction of #Habitat largely to graze and feed livestock has eliminated over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. Globally, 80 billion animals are killed each year for only 12% of the human diet. To keep the meat and dairy industries afloat, this slaughter is subsidized. At the same time, the topsoil is seriously degraded due to industrial farming of all kinds. #RegenerativeFarming offers a better way to grow food, but it requires farm animals. Instead, shouldn't we seize the opportunity to allow wildlife to return and flourish? Sailesh Rao, Founder and Executive Director of https://climatehealers.org/ Larry Kopald, Founder and President, https://thecarbonunderground.org/ discuss this question with host, Dale Walkonen.

Circular design is a key enabler in the transition to a circular economy. It provides the opportunity to rethink how products are made and systems can be designed. But who are the designers leading this transition? These are the highlights from the episode that was streamed live on our channels on 25th May. In this episode of The Circular Economy Show, we were joined by Anne Asensio and Sean Carney. Anne is the Head of Design at Dassault Systemes and she talked us through what she has learnt working at many large companies and what advice she’d give to young designers out there. Sean is the Chief Design Officer at Philips, and he outlined what circular design means to him and provided examples of Philip's journey to circularity so far. These highlights make you want more?
