- Climate Justice Isn't Optional
This episode deals with some heavy material involving injustice, prejudice, and mistreatment. These topics and inextricably linked to climate change for a variety of reasons, which will be explained in the episode. We cannot solve climate change, if we are not united in this goal, and social issues like racism, sexism, and Indigenous oppression drive people apart and prevent effective action on climate. We must deal with this now, and do it quickly, which is why this episode is so important. At this show, we recognize that we will never understand the hardship of groups in which we do not have experience, but through this show, we try to learn and develop an understanding.

Who am I?
My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I’ve noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can do for climate change is talk about it.” so let’s talk about it. Let’s learn about solar energy and battery storage, let’s dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let’s learn and let’s discuss. We aren’t doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let’s get to work.

S3 - 28m - Jun 15, 2023 - Greenwashing - Climate Deception Is Costing Emissions
Greenwashing involves techniques and rhetoric that companies use to convince the public that they are doing more good for the planet and its people than they actually are. It is a deception designed to extract more money from their customers by placating their worries with false promises. It misleads consumer decisions and slows climate action by promoting a false sense of security and encouraging complacency. Though there really is no way to prevent greenwashing, there are ways to uncover it and use that information to make better-informed decisions on what you buy and from whom. This episode will explain greenwashing using examples and make some suggestion son how to avoid being pulled in by it. Check the links below for more info:

S3 - 25m - Jun 15, 2023 - Making Textiles Sustainable
The textile industry is not only a prominent sector of society, but an essential one. Textiles are used for pretty much everything, not the least of which is your clothes. Unfortunately, this sector also has a pretty substantial carbon impact and an even bigger impact when considering other environmental factors. The combination of these two facts means that the textile industry absolutely has to decarbonize and modernize ASAP. We cannot simply eliminate textile use like we can with fossil fuel uses like cars. Instead, we need to focus on minimizing environmental impact by using new technologies and methods that make textile production more sustainable. So in this episode, we will explore the parts of the textile industry have the biggest impact on our planet, and how we can best prevent those consequences by making better decisions.

S3 - 34m - Jun 15, 2023 - The Future Is Bright For Iceland
We’ve finally gone through everything there is to cover for both the history and technology that Iceland is built on. In this final episode, we have to explore the Iceland of today. Because Iceland took care of some of the most significant climate issues decades ago, it’s fascinating to see the next objectives, once the main ones are taken care of. Watching Iceland set ambitious climate and environmental goals, only to continue adjusting for more ambitious ones and encourage other nations to do the same is simply inspiring. This is why the world has to look to Iceland for guidance in the coming decades. They’ve succeeded once, and in the intervening decades, they have only expanded their environmental conscious to further support the health of our planet. I hope you enjoy this final episode of this series, and you come away feeling inspired and empowered by the country of Iceland. Links are below for more info:

S3 - 18m - Jun 8, 2023 - Incremental Change - It's Not All Or Nothing
This is a short and sweet episode to accompany the technology episodes this week. This is a bit of a less intense one and has a slightly different format. This is a topic that is important to the show to get across, and as such has less data and journalism to wade through. Instead, this episode is more of a reinforcement of the importance of action. It illustrates the dangers that come with perfection in the climate space, and how best to solve perfectionism using a constant drive for change instead of an unending search for perfection. Hopefully, you get something helpful out of this episode, and you’ve been enjoying this season so far!

S3 - 8m - Jun 8, 2023 - Hydropower Is The Lifeblood Of Iceland
Iceland, Like Canada, has two colossal energy draws in homes and businesses, heat and electricity. Iceland has made the best possible use of its abundant geothermal energy by replacing fossil fuels for heat. Geothermal power, however, doesn’t supply the lion’s share of electricity in Iceland, Hydropower does. Hydropower started early in Iceland and has provided the majority of energy in Iceland since the early energy transition. In this episode, we’re going to go through the process that Iceland took to get to the energy sector success they have today. We’re also going to go through the general technologies that are most relevant to this sector, similar to what we did for the geothermal episode. There was a lot of research for this one, which is all linked below if you want to check them out!

We stay away from divisive politics and meaningless numbers with no context, and instead, I interview climate action leaders implementing revolutionary ideas that are helping to reduce our impact on the world around us. Listen to this podcast to learn, be inspired, and find new ideas to look into even more. If you are interested in getting involved, please use any of the contacts or social media listed below, and look into the links below for actionable things you can do right now.
Who am I?
My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I’ve noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can do for climate change is talk about it.” so let’s talk about it. Let’s learn about solar energy and battery storage, let’s dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let’s learn and let’s discuss. We aren’t doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let’s get to work.

S3E3 - 53m - Jun 8, 2023 - Iceland's Sustainability Saga (Pt. 2)
In this episode we are continuing on with the story of Iceland, starting where we left off last episode, at World War 2. This episode goes into a little more detail on the development of actual energy systems in the country of Iceland throughout the last couple of decades. This is an interesting one because it illustrates the decisions that were made that led the country to the sustainable society that they have today, and why those decisions were made. The hope is that through this story, and through the ideas we explore in the later episodes, those factors and decisions can be extrapolated to the rest of the world in the hopes that similar steps can be taken toward climate action. That is, after all, the point of this season. This episode will finish up the history of Iceland and give you all the context you need to enjoy the episodes following this. Sources are below:

S3E2 - 41m - Jun 1, 2023 - Collective Action Is Good For Change
To start off this season’s bonus lineup, we are looking at a topic that will pretty much infiltrate every episode that we do this season. The importance of collective action cannot be overstated, it is the everyday citizen's most effective method of enacting change on a scale that most individuals would be incapable of. As we explain more in-depth in the episode, collective action is the process of organizing for a cause, bringing people together around a common goal, and using the power of collective representation to force decision-makers to take action. It’s pretty powerful stuff and has led to many a cultural revolution in the past, including the Suffragette movement and the movement for Civil Rights, as well as showing up in more modern movements like BLM and climate action. This stuff is absolutely essential to learn about if you want to take a meaningful role in preventing climate change, so let’s learn! Some helpful links and sources below:

S3 - 20m - Jun 1, 2023 - Iceland's Sustainability Saga (Pt. 1)
This is it!! We are finally back! After a longer-than-expected production run, the third season of Innovating a Bright Future is back. As explained in this episode, this season is all about the country of Iceland, and the story surrounding their energy systems and culture. I won’t say much more about the rest of the season for the sake of suspense. This episode, however, delves into the early history of Iceland, illustrating the events that led to the Iceland of today. Icelandic history is split into two episodes for the show, so this one will cover everything up to the Second World War. We hope you have been looking forward to this season as much as we have!

S3E1 - 25m - Jun 1, 2023 - Carbon As An Externality And How To Fix It
To put it simply, this is one of the biggest barriers to climate action in today's society. An externality is most generally a consequence of human action that is not reflected in the decision-making processes related to that action. Carbon as an externality means that the GHG impacts of almost all human activity have been ignored by industry, governments, and the public alike, which is why it has taken decades for climate action to come to the forefront of society. We’ve known about the impacts of greenhouse gases on our atmosphere and planet for many years, tracking back all the way to Eunice Foote in 1856. Those impacts have simply been ignored or covered up in order to continue advancing modernization and industrialization. In this episode we attempt to explain why this happens and how to prevent it from now on. Sources below:

S4 - 20m - Jun 1, 2023 - Carbon Markets, The Deciding Factor For Widespread Climate Action?
This is the final episode of Season Two, listen in to the beginning of this episode for a conclusion to the season before the beginning of the episode, along with a preview of what Season Three might look like!
Corporations hold incredible power in the world of today. With international trade at an all-time high, the power of the internet, and interdependent countries trading trillions of dollars of goods, money talks. One of the strategies that has been in play for recruiting the corporations with control over a vast amount of the world’s resources, is giving emissions a price by creating carbon trading markets. Carbon trading markets seek to price out carbon by limiting total emissions and punishing entities who don’t adhere to that limit. This strategy could be the key to forcing some of the biggest polluters on the planet to start taking action on climate change, but could carbon markets instead provide a loophole for pollution-reliant companies to exploit? Only one way to find out. More resources below.

S2 - 33m - Apr 13, 2022 - Could Soil Solve Climate Change? with Judy Fitzpatrick From Microbiometer
Though we are always surrounded by soils and billions of microorganisms, we don’t really pay attention to the micro environment around us. Microbobiometer is changing that. Through their use of soil analytical products, Microbiometer is trying to increase our understanding of soil health, how we can optimize the earth itself to grow better produce and mitigate climate change, and how important the microorganisms found in our soil are. Could soil be the solution to pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere? There’s only one way to find out. More resources below.

The establishment of functioning carbon markets, and carbon trading systems could provide the incentive we need to push large countries and companies to work hard at mitigating emissions. The markets that we have now aren’t yet stable enough or widespread enough for them to be effective at providing that incentive. On today’s episode with Gael from Mission Zero Tech, we are taking a look at the future of carbon capture and how that will interact with the larger energy and consumer markets that we have well established today. More resources below.

Innovating a Bright Future is the podcast that brings together technology and climate action in an engaging interview format that showcases some of the most interesting initiatives taking place across the globe. If you are someone who cares about climate change but you’re tired of hearing about how the world is going to explode in a few short years if we don’t do something soon (What does that even mean?), then this podcast is for you. We stay away from divisive politics and meaningless numbers with no context, and instead, I interview climate action leaders implementing revolutionary ideas that are helping to reduce our impact on the world around us. Listen to this podcast to learn, be inspired, and find new ideas to look into even more. If you are interested in getting involved, please use any of the contacts or social media listed below, and look into the links below for actionable things you can do right now.
Who am I?
My name is Avry Krywolt, I am a student from Alberta Canada, I am passionate about taking action against climate change, and I am the host of Innovating a Bright Future. I’ve noticed through my own experience that the number of people concerned about climate change is growing quickly. At the same time, the information being presented to the public is, in most cases, a sad sigh of defeat, irrational denialism, or frantic screaming that does no one any good. The fact is that climate change is happening, but it is not hopeless, and you are not powerless. TED speaker and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said that “The most important thing you can do for climate change is talk about it.” so let’s talk about it. Let’s learn about solar energy and battery storage, let’s dig into green hydrogen, and wind, and the power of water, and the importance of sustainable energy. Let’s learn and let’s discuss. We aren’t doomed, but we have to work hard in order to keep climate change from wreaking real havoc on our world. So let’s get to work.

S2E26 - 44m - Mar 16, 2022 - Hydrogen And E-fuels, The Bigger Picture with Eduardo Pereira from Clearenergy
We have talked about hydrogen before on this show. We have gone over how we can make hydrogen and how we can convert hydrogen to and from energy pretty easily. What we haven’t discussed is what specific application hydrogen could be useful for; shipping, energy storage, and simulating fossil fuels. Today, Eduardo Pereira from Clearenergy will lay out the future that he sees for hydrogen, and how it can be coupled with carbon capture to create synthetic fuels capable of replacing the fossil fuels we use today. Check out the resources below for more information on Clearenergy.

S1E25 - 37m - Mar 9, 2022 - Climate Action Is Now Or Never, Here's Why...
What will happen if we can’t meet the maximum of 1.5 degree target set by the IPCC? What will happen if it warms up by 2, 3, or 5 degrees? Where are these numbers even coming from?! Well first of all they’re coming from people who have studied climate their entire lives so we can be fairly sure that they are at least close to the mark. Second of all, a lot of these estimations and goals come from tipping points, the topic of today’s episode. Tipping points can be thought of as the point of no return, there are multiple planetary systems that are on the edge of their tipping points, and now we have to work hard to mitigate our emissions so that we don’t push our planet over the brink. Lots of resources below for further reading and involvement!

S2 - 20m - Mar 4, 2022 - Regenerative Agriculture with Andre de Rosa From Lamplighter Energy
Agriculture is one of the highest emitting sectors of our world. There are many aspects of agriculture that emit dangerous greenhouse gases, meat production costs tons of water and emits billions of tons of CO2 and methane every year. Fertilizers that are used to grow crops for food and to feed animals generate other greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxide which can be hundreds of times worse for the climate than carbon dioxide. Agriculture also provides one of the most opportunity-rich fields to implement new technologies, connective technology, and regenerative practices based on indigenous methods to greatly reduce emissions worldwide. Thank you to Andre and Lamplighter for featuring on this long-awaited episode on new-age agriculture. More information found below.
