Episode guest: Greg Johnson, CEO and co-founder of AquiPor Technologies.   Episode info: In this podcast episode we sit down with Greg Johnson, CEO and cofounder of AquiPor Technologies. Greg and cofounder Kevin Kunz created a really innovative surface technology for dealing with stormwater and flooding in a sustainable way.   AquiPor's new material — permeable concrete — does what traditional surfaces can’t. It absorbs water like a sponge but filters out the accompanying pollutants. It’s got a low carbon footprint, unlike traditional cement, and provides a sustainable means to dealing with our need to collect and contain water. Traditional drainage and water collection systems — or gray infrastructure — just can’t address the impacts of our changing climate, where heavier storms inundate our cities but we have no way of effectively saving the water to stave off drought. Greg and Kevin’s surface technology is still in the proof-of-concept stage, but it’s generating a ton of buzz in the industry. With its focus on sustainability and innovation, AquiPor is definitely a company to watch — and we think it’s got a game-changing solution.   Tune in to learn more about Greg and Kevin and what's in store for Aquipor.   Web: https://www.aquipor.com Water Voice Podcast: https://www.aquipor.com/podcasts/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/AquiPor/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/aquiportech/ TW: https://www.twitter.com/aquiportech   About the host: Dunja Jovanović is the founder of the Ffm platform which is focused on education on sustainable fashion, advocacy, and development of tools that promote and enable environmentally friendly habits among the general public.   Subscribe & follow: Instagram Spotify Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts AnchorFm Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Website

Episode info: Environmental communication aims to promote your company, your brand, and your products as environmentally responsible, building on real commitment and achievements. Effective environmental communication can be distinguished from “greenwash” - a term for superficial or misleading communication which aims to present a company or a product as greener than it actually is. Greenwash is a risky and potentially damaging strategy and should be avoided. In this Launchpad episode we discuss what businesses can do to make sure they don't miss the point when making sustainability-related claims and embracing eco-friendly messaging.   Guest:  Angela Boskovic, an environmental communication educator based in Montenegro, Europe, and the founder of Eko Korijen LLC.  Through 1:1 consulting and team workshops, she helps businesses and green NGOs craft communication plans & marketing campaigns without giving way to greenwashing. Andjela holds a Master's degree in Environmental Policy and a Bachelor's degree in Journalism. She has diverse work experience involving environmental journalism, copywriting, project management, event organization, etc. Subscribe & follow: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greennewperspective/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4t49QuNjTcqF7FjgcDOKFZ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gnp-launchpad/id1569170704 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81ODFlOWU0MC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== AnchorFm: https://anchor.fm/gnplaunchpad Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/greennewperspective Twitter: https://twitter.com/gnperspective LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/gnplaunchpad/ Website: https://info.npws.net/gnp-launchpad/
