  • Microplastic Menace: Understanding and Tackling Microplastic Pollution

    Microplastic Menace: Understanding and Tackling Microplastic Pollution
    Jul 4 2024
    Welcome to Impact!, where this week, hosts Ellen Bintz and Clive Johnson delve into the alarming presence of microplastics in our environment and their potential health impacts for humans and animals. Microplastics, tiny particles less than five millimeters in size, have infiltrated our air, water, and food, raising serious health concerns. Research is now revealing how these particles enter our bodies through inhalation and ingestion, posing risks such as respiratory issues and chronic diseases. Beyond human health, microplastic pollution disrupts ecosystems, affects marine life and negatively influences soil health. We discuss the urgent need for global action, highlighting efforts like the United Nations Treaty on Plastic Pollution and national government initiatives to reduce plastic waste. Join us as we hold intentions for increased awareness, better research, and stronger international cooperation to combat this growing crisis. Suggested intention for this week: Given the need for major multinational commitment to combat the health, environmental and other challenges of microplastics pollution, we suggest holding as our main focused intention this week: We will that all signatory nations to the United Nations Treaty on plastic pollution will be moved to honour their commitments to reduce plastic pollution in line with the treaty’s recommendations. Please join us in holding this.

  • Ageism Unveiled: Addressing Discrimination Against the Elderly

    Ageism Unveiled: Addressing Discrimination Against the Elderly
    Jun 27 2024
    Join us as we kick off the second season of our podcast with a deep dive into the pervasive issue of ageism, particularly as it affects older people. In this episode, we explore the growing demographic of individuals aged 60 and over, the unique challenges they face, and the often-overlooked discrimination against them in various facets of life, from healthcare to employment. We consider some alarming statistics and hear expert insights on the harmful stereotypes and biases that contribute to ageism. We also discuss practical steps and intentions we can take to combat this discrimination and support the elderly in our communities. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that aims to inspire compassion and action towards creating a more inclusive society for all ages. Suggested intention for this week: We will that all member States of the United Nations are moved with compassion and pragmatism to prioritise the enactment of laws and regulations to strengthen the protection of the rights of older persons and to eliminate all forms of discrimination, abuse and violence against them, including ageism in employment, healthcare and other settings.

  • Myanmar's Struggle: Ethnic Conflicts and Humanitarian Crisis

    Myanmar's Struggle: Ethnic Conflicts and Humanitarian Crisis
    May 30 2024
    In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the escalating violence in Myanmar, particularly focusing on the persecution of ethnic minorities, including the Rohingya. With over three million people displaced due to conflict, we explore the historical and current context of Myanmar's turmoil and the long-standing ethnic conflicts that continue to ravage the nation to see where we might focus our prayers and intentions. We cover the geographical and historical background of Myanmar, the roots of its civil war, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. We also discuss the plight of the Rohingya, described by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as one of the most discriminated groups in the world. We highlight the challenges faced by other ethnic minorities and the complexities of their struggles against the ruling military junta. As the UN reports a surge in violence and displacement, we focus our prayers and intentions on the wisdom needed by international actors and the newly appointed UN Special Envoy on Myanmar, Julie Bishop, to navigate a path towards peace. Join us in holding intentions for the people of Myanmar and the international efforts to bring about lasting change. Following this episode, we will be taking a two-week break, but we'll return in mid-June with more insights and updates. Stay tuned and stay connected with us through our Facebook group and live intention holding sessions. Thank you for listening and for being part of our collective impact. Suggested main focus for intention this week: As UN Special Envoy on Myanmar Julie Bishop begins her term, we might bring our main focus for this week to the challenging role she faces in seeking a path to peace: We will that UN Special Envoy on Myanmar Julie Bishop and all international actors who may have influence over Myanmar’s military junta leadership and warring ethnic groups, will have wisdom to know how to pursue a path towards peace in that country. Please join us in holding this.
