This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the future of trucking and the benefits of converting to Zero Emissions.
Urvi and I dive into the topics that are shaping the industry, including:
- The exponential rate of adoption for EV features for trucking and why now is the best time to convert your fleet.
- Electrification isn't necessarily the goal, but Zero emissions is the goal, and Urvi explains why not every fleet needs to be electrified but every fleet needs to have zero emissions.
- How the IRA has unlocked the industry to have explosive growth soon
- The increases in quality of life for truckers when they make the transition to electric vehicles, including a quieter work environment and improved health.
- The impact on local economies, with statistics that show how $1 spent on electricity as fuel generates $16 in local economic activity and how electricity providers can benefit from new load.
- Urvi shares her firsthand experience with demonstrating the viability of electric buses and overcoming the misconceptions surrounding EVs.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and information, so make sure to tune in to learn about the future of the industry and how you can benefit from the Zero Emissions revolution.

Let’s cut out all the confusion around carbon footprints, and let’s make a carbon literate society. Especially for our world leaders.
And if you want to comprehend carbon in a way that is fun and easy to understand, then definitely go check out https://clevercarbon.io/quiz/
It is so simple on there.
But what Michelle mentions during this interview, and what is even more important is what you do after you find out what your Carbon Footprint is.
Your goal is to reduce it, but how?
During this interview Michelle provides a heuristic for you to use as you are going about your day making decisions, and how to choose something that has less of a carbon footprint. You have to think about the life cycle of the product.
And if you don’t know, some really progressive companies are starting to place Carbon labels on their products to show how much of a carbon footprint it has.
Which is really exciting for expanding the number of people who are carbon literate worldwide.

Does propane play a role in our energy “transformation” as Tucker Perkins calls it, not energy “transition”?
Yes.
And make sure that you stick around for this entire episode to figure out just what role that propane and natural gas will play during this energy transformation that is currently taking place.
Because we need to make this transformation happen as soon as possible, so we need to explore all potential avenues.
and plus, if we can get a win where we are burning a much cleaner gas, with extremely reduced carbon footprint, and that allows us to reach our goals of NetZero faster around the world than we have to do it.
Plus, as Tucker mentions during this interview, there are 13 new ways of sourcing RENEWABLE propane, and through some methods may even be carbon negative.
So all I can say is don’t discount the role that propane will play in our energy transformation, and stay tuned for this entire interview to find out how the future of propane as part of our journey to fight the climate crisis.

Let’s design cities and architecture that have a deeper connection with nature. Because one of the best ways to design something is to see how nature has already designed things to withstand the environment. Nature has been around a lot longer than humans have, so being able to connect and understand how we can make our cities more aligned with nature is super important to the sustainability of cities in the future.
And we have so many solutions out there that use biomimicry in their design. But sometimes it can be hard to find those solutions.
Which is one of the reasons why my guest, Jana Skokan, created a marketplace for greentech and sustainable solutions that are rooted in nature. Giving space for greentech businesses to show off what they have to offer to the world.
To learn how you can get involved into this platform and show off your greentech product to the world, make sure you visit https://frogeex.com/ and check out this entire episode to hear all the things that Jana has planned for the community and marketplace she is building.

Artificial reefs don’t just have to be sunken ships, but can be beautiful works of art as well. These reefs can become a tourist attraction and a chance to learn about ocean restoration efforts.
Shelby Thomas and her team at Ocean Rescue Alliance are creating artificial reefs to increase engagement and understanding around how we can save our ocean habitats.
Because although the ocean can be so mysterious, all life depends so much on the ocean, and the ocean not just being there, but being healthy as well.
So make sure you listen to this entire episode to understand how Shelby is not only creating beautiful artificial reefs, but educating the public on the importance of ocean ecosystems and why it is so important to preserve them.

Honest Ocean is working hard to make sure that plastic doesn’t end up in the ocean, but for the plastic that does end up there…They are busy removing that plastic and recycling it. Putting it back into the plastic market.
We are recycling so little of the current amount of plastic that is produced nowadays, which is terrible. We need to be creating an economy around plastic that is circular.
One that has nearly 100% of plastic being recycled.
And Tom Jackson, CEO of Honest Ocean, is working hard to not only remove plastic from the oceans, but also give it new life in the plastic industry.
However, he didn’t stop there. He is based in Indonesia, where his factories provide work to many Indonesians who desperately need it.
If you are curious about what is being done about the massive amount of plastic waste in the oceans today, look no further than this episode with Tom Jackson, as we explore not only what Tom and his team are doing, but also the state of the plastic recycling industry, and what we will see moving forward.

Calculating the Carbon footprint of an indoor farm can be a daunting task, but not impossible. And the process is just plain simple when using CarbonBook.
Daphne Preuss and her team at CarbonBook, have created an app that allows indoor farm operators to calculate their carbon footprint as easily as possible.
Because although many indoor farms already are more sustainable because of the reduction in water and pesticide use, the same is not always true for the amount of carbon they are consuming.
And soon, consumers and distributors are going to demand that all points in their supply chain are working towards being as close to NetZero as possible.
So don’t miss a second of this entire interview where we go in-depth into the importance of an indoor farm in knowing their carbon footprint and why CarbonBook is even giving indoor farms a Carbon Score that they have the option to report to their distributors.

How can we make the transition to a more sustainable world and fight the climate crisis? DATA
Data is the key to helping us uncover the specific moves that we need to take to reach our sustainability goals. And to understand whether any changes we make actually has a positive impact.
And one company that is using data to preserve our planet is EOS Data Analytics.
EOSDA uses satellite data to answer critical sustainability questions in over 22 different industries, but is mainly focused on providing unprecedented detail and clarity for the agricultural industry.
Through EOS Crop Monitoring, they are able to help farmers increase yields and increase profits, but also reduce the impact of harmful substances on the soil, depleted less and generally enable the agriculture industry to be less harmful.
EOSDA has been doing this consistently for over 900,000 users, but they didn’t want to just stop there. They are launching their own satellite constellation starting with the first satellite being launched in December 2022.
This will give them the ability to have an incredible amount of clarity and control over the entire system, so that they can help make an even bigger impact on the agricultural industry.
And that is just the beginning of what we talk about during this amazing interview, so make sure you stick around to hear all the ways that EOSDA is making an impact to preserve our planet from the stars.

You can invest in environmentally-friendly companies without compromising on performance, and many times, they are performing better than other portfolios.
Most financial firms will slap an ESG label on top of a portfolio, but when you dive into what is actually going on inside, you find that it isn’t what you expected, and many of those brands aren’t meeting your expectations for what an environmentally or socially responsible company should be doing.
However, Corey Noyes, the CEO of Balanced Capital, does things differently.
He has created a portfolio of companies that are eco-friendly and is just a better way to invest for our environment. This isn’t just a label that he puts on this portfolio, he has gone through it with a fine-toothed comb, and if you want to know why a company is included or why a company from last year was thrown out. He will walk you through it all.
Make sure you check out the entire episode to hear how Corey makes things simpler, easier, and better for the environment.

Protecting our world is more than just about the talk about Carbon. But we must consider our environment as well. Provide places for plants and animals to grow and flourish.
That is what Mike Toffan and his team at Project Forest do.
Find non-productive agricultural land and transition those areas into forests. Transitioning these lands into forests provides a whole plethora of benefits besides just sequestering carbon or reducing a carbon footprint.
But they can create cultural significance for local indigenous populations. Create a home for numerous forest plants and animals.
Bring the area back to life, and rewild it.
Make sure you check out this entire episode to hear how Mike does this for each of his corporate clients.

Check out this interview to hear how Stephen Clarke is creating the biggest positive disruption in the giving industry right now! And all of it is done through the umbrella company RTG Group. Which stands for Receiving Through Giving.
Stephen Clarke has developed a model where he is feeding kids 1 meal a day for 30 days for about $40. He then uses some of the profit to cover costs then takes the rest of it and gives it back to nonprofits and other causes.
Everything else that he has created underneath his umbrella company (RTG Group) has spun off of this model and is always created around the idea that:
“Everyone wins more than they put in”
Because when that happens, it means that the model is entirely sustainable. And when everyone wins - why would anyone want to stop?
So make sure you watch the entire episode to see how you can either work with Stephen to grow your nonprofit, use aspects from Stephen’s model to recreate how you are impacting the world, or just become inspired by the great work that RTG Group is doing and find out how you can help.
No matter your reason, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

350 Feet of road. That is all it would take if every adult in the US picked up the trash from just 350 ft of road, that would cover ALL of the US roads.
Imagine what it would look like if you could drive down the road and NOT have to see litter strewn about everywhere.
If everyone pitched in and just picked up 350 feet of road, many times just the distance in front of your house, all of our roadways would be clean.
But it is a monumental task, so LitterPic’s goal is to do good and inspire change. Inspire people to clean and not litter on our roadways. Educate children on why it is important to respect our world.
When we reduce the amount of trash we produce so that there is no way for it to end up on our roads, we reduce the use of resources and the amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere to create that trash.
It all impacts the world, and in this interview with Alek Babich, we explore all of the connections, and how we can clean up our world to make it a greener and much more enjoyable place for all of us to live.

When it comes to finding a pet- and eco-friendly way to get rid of all of those pesky fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. There really isn’t any good options. Until now ⇒ Benesafe Solutions is the perfect solution to treat your lawn and kill all of those pests, without killing everything else.
In this interview, I have the great opportunity to speak with Esther Salata, who is the founder and CEO of BeneSafe Solutions. She has created an amazing product that gets rid of all the fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes in your yard. Not only that, but it is sustainable as well.
Insects like fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are some of the most adaptive creatures in the world. Due to their extremely quick reproductive cycle, they can easily adapt to anything that Climate Change throws their way, while their predators aren’t so lucky.
So we have created a situation where there are more pests than ever before and less predators to get rid of them, creating a variety of health issues due to the dangerous viruses associated with these pests.
We talk all about this and more during this incredible interview with Esther Salata and Benesafe Solutions.

It is a long, tedious process to try to change someone’s behavior. But this is exactly what we need to happen for the climate movement.
But we need to make it as easy as possible. Make that transition simple, or give people enough of a reason to want to make that change.
WeHero is at the forefront of this. Their main question is to ask how they can have people not just volunteer one time, but change their hearts and their minds to say that I not only want to volunteer once, but I want to volunteer again.
Create that transformation that is needed for any movement.
But that is not all that this interview is about with Andy Vandenberg. Because Andy and his business partner create businesses that will create a positive impact on the world.
So they created 2 other businesses as well. CarbonHero and The Impact Job.
CarbonHero gives small businesses a place to understand exactly what their carbon footprint is and how to manage it.
The Impact Job is a community and job board that brings impact jobs to job-seekers looking to make an impact on the world through sustainability, ESG, etc.
So don’t miss out on the full interview with Andy, as this is truly an amazing episode that you don’t want to miss.

Great businesses thrive because of one thing...Sales. Yes, all those other things are great, but unless you can close the deal, it means nothing. You could have the best marketing team in the world, you could have the best investors come to your business...
BUT...
if you can’t convert all of the wonderful marketing leads into sales...you’ve got yourself a problem. And you can have some great people invest in your company, but one day they will be looking for a payout, and if you don’t have sales...
Ben Margolis, Principal advisor of Genseed, saw that a lot of climate tech companies had great ideas, they were receiving a lot of money, but they weren’t converting...they weren’t closing the deal.
So he decided to do something about it and has created a consultancy where he helps green tech companies close the deal.
I caught up with Ben to learn exactly what it takes to close the deal for climate tech companies, and if your climate tech company could use a sales boost, make sure to watch this interview all the way through.

With this technology, solar farms are receiving a major upgrade in their ability to maintain their panels. Because not only do they now have a robot that is monitoring their site and can be deployed at any moment to inspect a certain spot on the farm, but the robot also uses machine learning technology to flag pictures that indicate something might be wrong with a panel and notify the operator of the issue.
It is like being able to have a technician on-site, ready to diagnose problems at any time.
Pretty incredible, right?

Solar is the future.
If you have been on the fence with whether you should go solar for your home, you need to know that you are getting the right information, and that you can really trust the consultant that you are talking with.
I was lucky enough to catch up with Miguel Wilches, CEO of SunBright Solar, and we talked about how he knows the importance of being able to educate people about going solar and helping them make the right decision for them.
He knows there is a lot of confusion out there, and it can be especially hard for members of the Hispanic community, which is why one of Miguel’s missions is to provide the best information that he can for Hispanic homeowners about going solar.

There is so much investment advice being thrown around out there…How do you know which to follow? Try finding one that aligns with your values. Like investing in raw land that is being bought up like hot cakes by solar developers in Southern California. Intriguing?
My business partner Cliff thought so. That is why he reached out and interviewed Kevin Maris of Velur Enterprises. They are helping everyday investors, invest in raw Southern California land that has been researched and is the perfect place for solar development.
And when the solar developers come to check out your land…They will pay top dollar to start development as soon as possible, and you will see an amazing ROI from your long-term investment in that land.
So make sure you listen to this entire interview as Kevin explains why and how to make this happen for you.

Sustainable food in deserts. Whether that is in an urban center because there aren’t any grocery stores around, or because of the lack of rain. BiFarm has created a solution to provide sustainable agriculture in deserts by using 95% less water than traditional agriculture through an incredible aeroponic system.
Agriculture has come a long way since the plow and the mule. Now, we are taking things indoors which allows for all sorts of different crops to be grown year-round AND in all sorts of climates. And with new automation and technology, it is making this process more efficient and easier than ever.
Make sure that you stay tuned for the entire interview as I speak with Victoria Valdez, digital marketer for BiFarm, on how they are revolutionizing the future of agriculture and making extremely fresh food a reality for everyone.

Investing is so much more than just the ROI or any of those other metrics.
It’s about the impact that you can have on the world. And whether you can actually see that impact.
And when you are investing in the stock market, it can be really hard to feel connected to the actual projects and see the difference your money is making.
That is where Shasta Power come in. They have created a 7th fund, the Summit Power Fund, to fuel the development of 3 more solar energy projects.
They help investors that want to have more of an impact and actually see where their money is going, be able to do so.
So check out this interview that I did with one of Shasta Power’s founders, Max Roe.

Transparency is important to me. As you might imagine, sometimes these descriptions contain links that are affiliate links, and if you sign up, I make a commission as a Partner. I only recommend products that I know, love, and use personally; and think you will benefit from.
Is your green business feeling like a daily struggle to you?
Like all the bureaucratic red tape is just holding you back from being able to make the type of impact that you are trying to have on the world?
I just wanted to share this bonus interview that I recorded with Isaac from Power From Within Clean Energy Society, whom I had on the podcast that was released at the end of June, for 2 reasons -
- first, as a message to all other ecopreneurs out there that if you are being faced with setbacks and hit with red-tape, then listen to this interview and know that others are struggling with it too, but know that you can do something about it, keep fighting like Isaac shows during this interview, it is a battle but one that he is championing, and one that you can too
- Second, to spread the message that Isaac and his team have an amazing solution to give people the ability to have affordable housing powered by clean energy, and is ready to provide this to the people, he just needs the approval from the government, so if you have any connections that could help Isaac move forward in building sustainable communities, then please don’t hesitate to reach out to him through his email: isaac@pfwces.org
and let’s make affordable, sustainable housing a reality.

Farming has been practiced for a millennium, and today with all of our technological upgrades, we are starting to see some major changes. This industry is finally getting the retrofitting it deserves so that we can feed a growing population and waste less resources in the process.
In addition, this new technology, also allows us to understand and follow the flow of Carbon throughout the ag industry. Agriculture can be a great carbon sink if certain practices are upheld, and with accurate data and modeling, we can actually see the impact that changing farming habits can have over the production, quality, and ability for a field to sequester Carbon.
An amazing company helping farmers understand what the actual impacts are of changing their practices is HabiTerre. They collect and model data from agriculture that provide extremely valuable data to farmers.
Make sure you watch the entire video for the chance to understand how HabiTerre’s CEO, Nick Reinke, is making waves in the agricultural industry.

Public speaking and communication are so often seen as a chore, and something that we hate doing, but what if we flipped the script on that. Make it into something that no longer feels like a chore, but is practiced enough where we still might not “like” to do it, but we can stomach it and it no longer feels like the worst thing in the world.
In order for anyone to have the impact, they desire on the world, especially for ecopreneurs who are looking to make changes in the world, being able to communicate effectively is the only way to make that happen. Whether you are pitching investors, hiring someone into the company, or keeping yourself motivated on a daily basis, communication is so important.

Wastewater doesn't need to just be looked at as something to be disposed of. It can be reused and seen as a resource that can be extremely helpful for all sorts of applications.

Disruption of the classic way that homes are created barely even scratches the surface of what Power From Within Clean Energy Society (PFWCES) has to offer. They not only are creating a more cost-effective sustainable housing solution but bring in solar energy AND an aquaponics system to make homeowners more independent.
And solar energy is more than just throwing up some solar panels on the roof. PFWCES offers a wide variety of solar-powered gadgets to help make everyday living even more sustainable. They have created an entire marketplace of items that you can check out on their website that showcase the numerous options that solar provides rather than just solar panels on the roof.
Make sure to watch the interview all the way to the end, as Isaac (CEO of PFWCES) explains exactly how he plans to make a huge impact on the lives of so many people around the world. Because this is just way too good to keep to just North America but can help people worldwide.
Also, listen to Isaac’s plan for PFWCES-designed communities, and how communities with several of these homes can create an excess of food that they can use to go to market and sell to provide an additional income stream for the entire community.
In this video we cover:
- 3 main parts of PFWCES
- Why you need to Rethink Housing
- Why PFWCES is focused on people

Do you know where you are going to charge your EV when you travel? It is simple when you are at home, just plug it in overnight. So how about doing the same at the hotel?
Tom Sapinski is looking to make that happen by helping hotels apply for state grants to install Blink EV charging stations at their hotel.
No more worry, no more fuss. EVs are here and hotel owners will soon be missing out on 50% or more of their business if they don’t have a charging station for EVs.

Sustainability of the Circular Economy
We demonize things but many times it is not the thing that is the problem, but our behavior when using it. Take a plastic bag for instance. Connor elegantly goes into during this interview how it was originally created to save resources, and it DOES this extremely well when compared to a paper bag. So maybe it is not the plastic bag itself but the linear economy that we live in.
In this video, we cover some major ground on:
- The benefits of the circular economy
- How flawed the thinking of the linear economy is
- Examples of how to think of the world through a circular economy lens
- The Rubbish Project’s View on Social Media Marketing
- How the Rubbish Project is making an impact marketing

I like to think of some people as VISIONARIES - like Marc-Andre Coulombe and his team at Viridis Terra and the TreesofLives Fund - believe that they can address each of these problems.
They have an answer for each stage and each part of the problem, and they are fighting to make a difference at each piece. Viridis Terra works to remediate land that has been degraded through mining and deforestation practices in North and South America.
They remediate the soil and work to bring the whole ecosystem back to life with their reforestation projects. This would be fantastic work, and many people would stop there. But for the team at Viridis Terra knew they would be fighting a losing battle if they did it the traditional way.
Because no matter how many hectares of land they remediated and planted new trees to grow, 1000s more hectares of trees would be chopped down at the same time.
So they took it further. They are also engaging in dialogue with the local communities living in degraded areas to discover new ways, enriched by both complementary experiences, to live harmoniously with the forest, no longer burning it down.
Because to solve the deforestation problem, we need to target the root of the problem. We need to transform the cost of restoration into an impact investment that generates returns both for the financial market that has the means to finance the restoration of millions of hectares and the vulnerable communities that are forced to survive through slash and burn practices while making sure the planet gets its fair share of biodiversity out of the restoration process.
I was fortunate enough to sit and talk with Marc-André about his work.
