Episode 3: The Three Pillars of Sustainability

Episode 5: Sustainability Across Cultures

Where did our sense of sustainability originate? During a special hour-long episode, Maddie and Tatiana discuss shifts in sustainable culture throughout their time growing up in the United States ⎼ specifically the state of Colorado. We invite CMU alum and Japan native Shinnosuke Kajiwara to discuss the systems that help form our relationships with the planet. Through the lens of Triple P framework (people, planet and profit) to measure sustainability, we discuss the environmental education we received in the United States compared to Japan. By cross-examining American and Japanese infrastructures (e.g. transportation, energy, individual responsibility and future goals), this episode breaks down political and cultural barriers in order to make sense of our individual connections to the environment.
