Green About Media

The idea of Climate Change is certainly nothing new to us in 2022. We know the impact it has on us and are now even starting to see the evidence in our day-to-day lives. But what impact can we have on it?
In this episode of Green About Media, we explore how we got to this point and how it's different from the other cycles of global warming that the planet has experienced. We also explore the different scopes that an organisation, or even an individual can use to measure their carbon emissions in order to better understand where changes can be implemented to create real change.
And we leave you with a question and invite you to record your answer and email it to us:

• Think of a scope 3 emission in your personal/professional life, and something small you could change that would positively impact your emissions
• What are the kinds of conversations are you having with people in your personal & professional life surrounding this topic
• Where have you noticed some of these emission reduction efforts in companies that you interact with

This week on the Green About Media we are joined by Harvin Gupta who heads up commercial partnerships at Scope3.
In this episode we discuss a near future where carbon is factored in to our daily decision-making process when purchasing advertising.
The digital marketing industry is uniquely positioned to be the first global industry to becoming entirely carbon-neutral by shifting its spend from high to low carbon purchases.
Harvin also discusses the 2 key-concepts behind Green Media and how they at Scope3 are helping shift the way in which businesses think about Carbon and their emissions.

Introducing Green About Media, a brand new podcast from The Digital Distillery.
In this mini-series from The Digital Distillery, Green About Media will tackle a range of these topics and straighten out some of the common misconceptions and misunderstandings around the terms that we hear in the media on a near daily basis. Where the efforts come from, how they have changed, and what impact they are likely to have on both the environment and the digital media industry itself are all things that are important to internalise if you want to understand where we are and where we are going in tis rapidly changing environment.

Green About Media is back for 2023 and this week, we explore a new type of industry; Carbon Intelligence providers.
We hear from Cedara CEO and Global Advisor David Shaw and Eric Shih and what role Carbon Intelligence plays in shifting the global economy toward a sustainable economy. There is a marked shift across all areas of the economy and as with any revolutionary change, those that act fast and change with the tide will come out on top and those that sit on the sidelines and make excuses will suffer.
In this episode of the podcast Eric and David talk about the changing landscape and what businesses need to do in order to catch the boat.
