GreenerPolitics

You know, when you run your own podcast, you always hope for the big interview, the one that will make all the hard work you do worthwhile. If I was running a sportscast, it would be an interview with Wayne Gretzky. If this was a podcast covering the doings of the Royal Family, an interview with Prince Harry would not be amiss.

On GreenerPolitics, I scored my dream interview, a chat with Michael Braungart, co-author of Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things. We talk about waste, the politics of protest, and the need to celebrate human ingenuity.

And speaking of ingenuity, we talk with Nancy Knowlton and David Martin, the co-founders of Smart Technologies, though you might know them better for their invention of the digital-interactive whiteboard.

You know, the one that hooks up to your computer and enables you to communicate verbaly and with pictures in real time.

We talk about how technology fosters creativity and innovation and we talk about what’s coming up for these fast-paced innovators who make their home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
