Why “GREEN”? Because the wellbeing of the planet and its inhabitants is one of the core principles of our philosophy, embracing a Industry 5.0 oriented viewpoint.Technology, machines, human skills are the three pillars of the new industrial revolution, where the first two are the key factor underlying harmony and quality of life for the latter. Why “-VOLUTION”? Combined to “green”, it can be read as GREEN REVOLUTION or GREEN EVOLUTION, the wide-scale change which begins with small steps, allowing the dominant worldview to evolve. Everybody loves change but few are willing to take some steps to actually change. Practicing mindfulness and respect for the environment and the people around us, we can make small revolutions. Then, building on them, we’ll give our positive contribution to life on Earth, bringing forth the green consciousness evolution. Sticking to this principle, the protagonists of the podcasts presented here offer their everyday stories, big and small, about the efforts they made both as individuals and as companies, explaining how we can contribute to improve our future as citizens of the Earth.

A bright future starts with a single panel
In a recent news article we anticipated something about the Tech 4 Gambia project, which has been carried out between mid January and mid March 2024, with the aim of installimg a solar panel park in Tanji, Gambia (Africa). This episode of Greenvolution focuses on the story of Thijmen Smulders and Mark Roelen. who joined Go For Africa - an organisation funded by multiple ROC/MBO schools in The Netherlands - during their internships and shared their knowledge and expertise to use the local resources in a more sustainable way.

Storytelling for a better future
Welcome to another episode of Greenvolution, the Shinchoku podcast by Arianna Pernigoni. So far we have talked about various aspects of sustainability: how to travel respecting the environment more, how to produce more sustainable fashion, the problem of recycling in metal industries and the importance of reducing waste of primary rescources such as water. This time, thanks to my guest, the music songwriter Aaron English, we explore the world of social equality and better education. About ten years ago, he founded the International Youth Project, a charity aiming at ensuring children of Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya with the musical equipment and education to become musicians, producers, songwriters. In short, to provide them with a brighter future. This is surely a wonderful story to tell, and that’s what Aaron English did in this interview.

Regenerate life starting from agriculture
Developing robotics technology to improve agricolture may sound like a paradox, for it shakes the very foundations of one of the oldest and most traditional industrial sector. However, thanks to our current guest at Greenvolution, we’ve found out it is possible to unite technology and deeply-grounded, on-the-fields (literally) expertise to realize what Pixelfarming calls “regenerative agricolture”. Its aim is simple and challenging at the same time: by using mathematics to increase food production and stop using chemical pesticides, Pixelfarming wants to grow food with nature instead of against nature.
So, by combining mathemathical calculations and computer based technologies, the Pixelfarming crew can predict the most optimal conditions for crops and aim for the best harvest. Their story starts in 2017 as a small scale solution to improve, through extensive studies, the life cycle of plants. Over the years they have implemented their newly built machine, Robot one, in order to grow crops without using artificial chemicals.

Heavy Metal is the solution
Almost every family in the world is sitting on a little pile of gold. But also of copper, silver, palladium, etc. If you wonder how that is possible, have a look at the broken electrical appliances you have at home. But this treasure is alas one not to keep, as it is dangerous for our planet as much as plastic. My guest on this episode of Greenvolution, Rudof von Stokar, CEO of Reco e-waste, gives some crucial insights about the importance of urban mining, the consequences of not disposing of metals and electrical waste in the appropriate way, and explains that the chemical-free and lossless process in his manufacturing company is a real circular way of thinking and operating.

Il recupero dei valori come base per la sostenibilità
Greenvolution ha avuto il piacere di dedicare un episodio a Daniela Ducato, una pioniera della sostenibilità in Italia. Grazie al suo progetto Edizero, avviato nel 2016, la signora Ducato ha dato nuova vita alle eccedenze delle materie prime, riutilizzando i materiali di cui è ricchissimo il territorio della Sardegna, creando “seconde” materie prime da cui poi far nascere molti altri prodotti. Nel corso degli anni, Daniela Ducato è stata una presenza costante nel campo dell’eco sostenibilità, grazie a iniziative rivoluzionarie di edilizia ecologica e a varie campagne di sensibilizzazione rivolte a istituzioni e scuole. Per questo, ha ottenuto numerosi riconoscimenti in ambito internazionale, e in Italia è stata insignita del titolo di Cavaliere della Repubblica per meriti ambientali. A Greenvolution parla del suo impegno più recente nel campo della salvaguardia del patrimonio culturale e dello sviluppo sostenibile dell’arte italiana, di un’etica che recupera valori ed energie persi nel tempo, e della necessità di azioni collettive per salvare il pianeta.

Sustainable Travles
L’ospite di quest’episodio di Greenvolution è Paolo Lonati, che lavora per una delle maggiori compagnie aeree come Head of Sales Operations per l’Europa. È un esperto di luxury business travel, impegnato nella sostenibilità fin da giovane.
Nel podcast si toccano vari temi, come le differenze fra la categoria di viaggiatori business e quella leisure, i vari modi in cui le compagnie aeree mondiali si stanno impegnando a rendere i viaggi più sostenibili, ecc. Uno dei punti chiave è ovviamente l’impatto di co2 che l’industria aeronautica produce e rilascia durante le percorrenze.
Ma la parte più interessante è quella che vi proponiamo nella seconda parte dell’episodio, dove si tocca l’argomento, molto tecnico, di alimentare gli aerei con carburanti alternativi, e i metodi per produrli e stoccarli.
Thank you for listening!
