S7E8 'Building websites that emit 99% less C02 ', with Jesse Ramon Brown from Sprout 🌱

In a previous episode of the EcoSend Podcast, we learned that around 250,000 new websites are built every day..! The Sustainability credentials of such websites are rarely, if ever, taken into consideration. Many website builders focus on competitive feature 'arms-races', particularly the race to implement AI as quickly and as far-reaching as possible. Fortunately, not all website builders have fallen into this. And that is just what our latest guest on the EcoSend Podcast is here to talk to us ...

S7E6 'Creating Circular Economy for Creative Materials', with Frieda Bischoff of RenΓ©e Materials πŸ‘—

"We're building the 'TooGoodToGo' for the Creative Material industry!" Waste is a massive, global problem. Across the world, ton after ton of high-quality material is sent to landfill or incinerators.

S7E5 'From Mountaineering to Sustainable Marketing', with Sergio Fuentealba of GrowBetter Agency ⛰️

S7E4 'Building Digital Products using Eco-Design', with Creek & Pine 🫢

Even in 2025, awareness of the carbon footprint of Digital activity seems to remain in its infancy. As the world slowly wakes up to the reality of the Climate Challenge, many of us in the Digital space find that Sustainability efforts lag behind other sectors. But with over 250,000 new websites being created every DAY, the carbon impact of our online activity is monumental. Fortunately, there are trailblazing companies out there, striving to bring eco-design and ethical principles to Digital pro...

S7E3 'Can AI ever go Green?', with Robert Keus of GreenPT πŸ€–

The use of AI has sky-rocketed within a very short space of time. And with this explosion of growth, comes many concerns around Ethics, Privacy, and Sustainability. With so many companies racing to implement AI-at-all-costs, many are concerned about the unknown implications of AI, and the many questions remain unanswered. Fortunately, there are some companies out there actively looking to address these concerns. And one of those companies is spear-headed by our third guest of this season; Robert...

It's episode two of Season Seven, and we're flying high with our latest guest!

S6E9 'How to Make Advertising a Force for Good', with The Good Net πŸ•ΈοΈ

When it comes to Advertising, you're probably picturing Don Draper types, or perhaps that latest spammy pop-up you had to drive away from your screen.

Enter Ollie Deane of 'The Good Net' - the Ethical Intelligence company delivering ads that not only get results, but do good for the world too. In this eye-opening episode, Ollie break stereot...

As Change-makers and Entrepreneurs for Good, we want to tell our story to the world, and inspire others to join or create their own mission. But when it comes to talking about Sustainability, or Ethical Capitalism, we live in constant fear of falling foul of the twin-evils of Greenwashing and Greenhushing. Fortunately, today's guests are industry-experts in authentic story-telling, and building congruent Brand Identity. Emily & Kate from Sonder Tell have worked with many household names, suc...

S6E5 'Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled-up', with Osprey Orielle Lake πŸ•ŠοΈ

There's no doubt we live in a time of crisis. Day after day, we read news and stories about the worsening climate challenge. Yet little do we hear stories of hope. And not just theoretical hope, but the pragmatic, "rolled-up sleeves" kind of hope. But that is exactly what this week's guest's work and book is all about. And so we are delighted to welcome Osprey Orielle Lake to The EcoSend Podcast, to bring a fresh perspective on the vital role which women and indigenous cultures can play in safeg...

And as it that wasn't enough, also concurrently raising thousands of pounds for c...

It's Episode 3, and we're back this time with Tim Maiden of Green Small Business! At EcoSend, we're committed not only to reducing the carbon footprint of email, but of our own footprint as a business too. But it's hard to know where to even start with measuring a company's carbon footprint. Especially for startups and SME's already juggling too many tasks with too few resources. At the end of the day, we're not massive corporates who can dedicate whole teams and budgets to this... Thankfully, t...

Hot off the heels of a cracking first episode of Season 6, we're back this week with our new Season's second episode! Since the (relative) return to normality in a post-Covid world, the Events industry has largely gone back to business as usual. But most Events, our latest guests points out, offer limited value to attendees and are far too mono-focused on supplier or sponsor benefit. But Juliette Devillard, and her company 'Climate Connection' is leading the way in offering attendee-focused Even...
