163. Sailors for Sustainability Searching for Solutions: A Journey Around the World - a podcast by Mary Kingsley, Emma Kingsley

We often hear about the rising tides, the growing storms, the heat that continues to climb. Evidence of climate change is all around us. In 2016, Dutch sailors Floris van Hees and Ivar Smits set off on a voyage around the world searching for answers to the growing crisis. As Sailors for Sustainability, Floris and Ivar have an incredibly inspiring conversation with Emma and Mary directly from their boat out at sea, during which they share their adventures and how they have witnessed firsthand dozens of incredible initiatives that are driving positive transformation around the globe. From sustainable agriculture to renewable energy to school projects, they have encountered wise and passionate individuals, politicians, and organizations who are actively working towards a more sustainable future. Their unwavering optimism and belief in humanity's ability to achieve change will impact you, leaving you feeling as though anything can be possible. Listen for the sea lions in the background, who joined us in this conversation directly from their location at sea!
