In this episode, Paul and Dave talk with Jill Doucette, founder of Synergy Enterprises and Synergy Foundation — two separate organizations with the same mandate: to get business leaders to reduce their carbon emissions.
Jill highlights some of the ways in which the pandemic has resulted in a mind shift among many business leaders to embrace sustainable development as part of their post-pandemic recovery.
She explains the nuances of each of the three focus areas of her foundation; green business, food security and the circular economy and draws attention to some of Vancouver Island’s leading green businesses.
Lastly, Jill, Paul and Dave chat about how our consumer and business decisions can have a significant environmental impact — in a good way — when we reconsider how we approach everything from small office furnishings to recycling to travel.
