How Do We Make Flight Sustainable?

We are on the move again. We live where we want, we work where we want, and for many of us, that means more time on the tarmac. But how can we reconcile all the jet-setting with the realities of the airline industry’s impact on our environment? What alternatives to traditional flight are emerging?

In our episode Fly Right: How do We Make Flight More Sustainable? Bianca – who has struggled with a lifetime fear of flying – speaks with Nathan Zvi, self-described “recovering aerospace engineer” and host of The Net Zero Life podcast. She also chats with Dr. Eric Saczuc, who integrates his environmental research with adventurous travel to off-the-beaten path destinations, and oversees the Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Hub at BCIT.

Debunking the Myths

Recreational cannabis has become ubiquitous, and with it, an entire encyclopedia of products and terms. Vapes, edibles, carbonated beverages, THC, CBD, terpenes — there’s a lot of lingo out there.

In our episode Cannabis: Debunking the Myths, Bianca speaks with Michael Chan and Hazrah Moothoo of the BCIT Natural Health and Food Products Research Group to get a vocabulary lesson and a better sense of how the plant is being studied and brought to market. Then she’s joined by Josh Beckett – a Master Grower from Magi Cannabis on Saltspring Island –for a conversation about where this high-growth industry is headed next.

Next,she’s joined by Diosa Femme -one half of the hard-working podcasting duo behind Locatora Radio – to talk about “multi hyphenate careers” and avoiding burnout.
