OK, our firm does a lot to help our clients manage their waste disposal costs, but ... this is a new concept to me! Combine running with collecting garbage. Leave it to the Italians to come up with a novel concept for what's become a big issue there - uncollected trash. Contestants must stay within the boundaries set by organizers and haul as much rubbish as possible across the finish line in the allotted time. With the notorious trash strikes in NYC, how have we in the US not come up with this. Spartan races are one thing, but Rubbish Races might be cool! Read more here from the Wall Street Journal. By the way, if your firm needs help with waste management, we have a team of experts, NONE of which will be participating in these races! 😎 https://lnkd.in/guBS6XNW #wastemanagement. #costmanagement. #costreduction

How many times have we heard this: the economic benefits will “substantially outweigh any environmental impact”? Not the case in Menie, Aberdeenshire, "a particularly beautiful and special patch of nature on the Scottish east coast" - also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) akin to the Amazon Rainforest - that was turned into "an 18-hole, 500-hectare, money haemorrhaging scar on the former natural beauty hotspot." This is the devastating impact of Donald Trump's Scottish golf courses. You can read more on Huck Magazine. According to a recent study by London's Natural History Museum, published before the UN biodiversity conference in 2021, the UK was consistently in the bottom 10% of nations in terms of biodiversity intactness. We can't afford these kinds of decisions. As Professor Andy Purvis of the museum's life science department puts it: "Many people think of biodiversity as a luxury - as nice-to-have, charismatic, beautiful species. They are good for the soul but no more than that... But biodiversity is so much more... It is the engine that produces everything we consume." - quoted from The Guardian article: "Nearly half of Britain's biodiversity has gone since industrial revolution."

This is a Part 1 of this episode, where I sat down with Darren Vaux, the President of ICOMIA, who have commissioned The Pathways to Decarbonisation for the Recreational Marine Industry report, with leading global engineering consulting firm, Ricardo plc,. The report investigated propulsion technologies across nine common recreational watercrafts to compare the impact of lifetime GHG emissions, financial costs, usability, performance, range and infrastructure implications. This is a special episode as Darren shares how 'for the first time, we've united the global recreational marine industry around our most comprehensive, peer-reviewed research to explore opportunities that could reduce recreational boats’ carbon emissions, giving us the data we need to begin educating policy makers, our stakeholder community, and boaters on the varied decarbonisation solutions unique to our industry. This new research provides guidance on the focus for the innovations we can begin exploring today to create a better boating experience that reduces our environmental footprint.  I know you are going to find this a very interesting, informative and influential executive summary of the report, so stay in touch as Part 2 is not far away.
