E-Bikes, Land Use and Transportation Systems with Bowinn Ma
02/09/23 • 20 min
Bowinn Ma was driven into politics by climate change and a rebellious streak. She gets around the city and builds constituent trust, by riding an eCargo Bike. She also talks enthusiastically about how the BC Government is buying up land to ease transportation for its 1.8 million citizens. In all she does as a lawmaker, biking the streets, and on social platforms, Bowinn pedals her talk and gets things done.

Food and Corporate Sustainability with Sandeep Patel
Sandeep Patel sees food as integral to his corporate sustainability focus as President and CFO of a - wait for it - consumer tech brand. What?! That seeming disconnect is exactly why Andrea knew when she met him last year that she had to talk with him for Living Change. Patel is an intensely values-driven leader with a Wall Street background who intends to make these changes not just for PopSockets, but for the whole corporate sector. The conversation gets ever more enthusiastic as they both dream of the potential Scope 3 emissions reductions in a collective corporate food policy shift.
