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. This technology has worldwide applications and can help provide drinking water for multiple communities in 3rd world countries.

This is just the beginning of seeing wastewater as a resource rather than just something to be disposed of.

Make sure to watch all the way to the end of this interview with Peter Christou, President of Swirltex, as he explains how he is taking wastewater and turning it into a resource.

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.

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.

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.

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.
