  • Hope for the Future

    Hope for the Future
    Dec 13 2023

    They say hope is not a strategy, and in the face of climate change and its catastrophic impact on our planet, hope can be in short supply. But for every climate denier or fence-sitting politician, there are people, young and old, actively working to combat this crisis. From investments in green energy to advancements in technology, the battle to save Mother Nature is in full force. But is it enough to win the war?

    In this special year-end episode, hosts Peter Reynolds and Geoff Sheffrin reflect on the last 11 episodes and what more needs to be done. They are joined by Eddie Dearden, a former chemical engineer in the coal industry. Eddie shares his transition from the fossil fuel industry to sustainable architecture, aiming to make amends for his contribution to carbon emissions.

    Hope may not be a strategy, but it very well may be the fuel we need to power a sustainable future.

  • Climate Crisis: Engineering Innovation

    Climate Crisis: Engineering Innovation
    Sep 13 2023

    In this episode, hosts Peter Reynolds and Geoff Sheffrin discuss the role engineers have played in contributing to the climate crisis. Engineers have historically focused on cost-effectiveness rather than environmental impact but can now become architects of change.

    Peter & Geoff are joined by Sandro Perruzza, CEO of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), to discuss the importance of organizations like OSPE empowering engineers in the fight against climate change and to highlight the proactive initiatives they're taking to ensure engineers' voices are heard at all levels of government.
