There are a ton of solutions to the climate crisis we hear about all the time — recycling, reducing air travel, transitioning to renewable energy.
There are other interesting solutions we don’t hear a lot about. One of those is biochar — when we talk to people who understand the value of biochar, they are ALL ABOUT BIOCHAR.
Today we want to introduce you to Henrietta Moon, the CEO & Co-founder of Carbo Culture, one of the leading producers of biochar, and find out what is so exciting about this innovative carbon technology.
Carbo Culture has developed a breakthrough method for at scale carbon drawdown: an instantaneous conversion from biomass to conductive biocarbon. By harnessing biology's photosynthesis and a conversion technology, they are working to make carbon removal at scale a reality — each ton of their CC biocarbon holds 3.2 tons of CO2 in a stable form for more than 1000 years.
Enjoy this 40 minute interview with Henrietta and learn all about what Carbo Culture is up to.

We just got back from a whirlwind tour of 3 climate-focused conferences; SOCAP19, Verge19, and RES19. In this episode, Marc and Sarah contrast and compare the three crowds and discuss patterns and trends in today’s climate-action movement. We bring up questions like…
- Would we even call everyone at these three conferences “environmentalists”?
- Is this even still one “movement”?
- Are we working to save this planet, or are we working to save the ability for humans to thrive on this planet?
- How do we make regular Joe and Jane care? (Is that even the right question?)

We sat down to chat with our mentor and friend John Bielenberg while he and Marc were in Montana building out the Big Hemp project.
John created the Think Wrong method in the 1990s for those times “when conventional thinking is not going to create the result that you need.”
We discuss how Thinking Wrong applies to projects tackling climate change and changing the status quo — and what it takes to move from a great idea to actually creating change. (Hint: It takes guts.)

In this 24 minute episode, we chat with Mike Morrison, creator of the #betterposter campaign to make the academic research poster easier to read. When we heard Mike featured on NPR, we were excited to talk to someone else who understands the importance of design principles when communicating scientific knowledge.
We talk about how the campaign has been received, what the impact has been so far and what it has the potential to be, and we discuss what’s next for Mike and his work to better science and thereby improve progress of the human race!

“There’s a new breed of designers emerging… designers that want to focus their creative talents towards solving our climate crisis. We’re calling them climate designers.”
In this episode, we talk about the role that creativity and design play in addressing our climate crisis. We don’t need to sit and wait for a client to ask us to make something eco-friendly. We have the ability and perhaps the responsibility to take a stand with how we use our skills and talents.
You’re not helpless when it comes to climate action. Listen to find out what you can do as a designer or creative professional in any industry.
