Sabine Amend and Doug Cohen champion inter-generational community building in educational and conference environments, particularly for youth. In a video, they explore leadership, discussing themes from the "Call of Time" and the alchemy of imagination to the importance of diverse perceptual inputs, lifelong learning, and natural leadership.

This interview was conducted by Barry Heidt of Sustainability Action Media (SAM) at the SEED Graduate Institute's "Wisdom from the Origins" conference. Held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from September 13-17, 2012, the event also featured a Youth Leadership and Scholarship Program led by Doug and Sabine.

Growing up in Detroit, Brittany Stallworth, a 2012 Brower Youth Award Winner, faced environmental injustice, including limited healthy food access and exposure to factory emissions. This experience fueled her to establish "Green is the New Black" at Howard University, a campaign dedicated to food and environmental justice.

Through her initiative, Stallworth organized expert-led workshops for students and a symposium that connected over 35 green organizations with college students for internships and jobs. Her passion has inspired others to advance food accessibility and environmental justice in underserved communities.

UC Merced student Martin Figueroa spearheaded a campus movement to reduce water use. In 2011, he organized the "UC Merced Water Battle," a month-long competition involving over 600 students across residence halls. Utilizing real-time monitoring, participants collectively cut water use by 14 percent, saving 89,000 gallons.

Figueroa is now encouraging other UC campuses to implement similar "Water Battles" to expand conservation efforts.

Releasing Tuesday, November 9, "The Story of Electronics" exposes the high-tech revolution's collateral damage: 25 million tons of e-waste, poisoned workers, and public costs. Host Annie Leonard guides viewers from gadget production in mines and factories to their grim end in Chinese recycling shops. The film advocates a "green 'race to the top'" for designers to create long-lasting, toxic-free, and easily recyclable products.

The Electronics TakeBack Coalition, promoting green design and responsible recycling, partnered on this production.

In a recent video interview, Klaus Jacob discussed the "Resilient New York" report, defining resilience, flood risk, managed retreat, intergenerational justice, and NYC's shortsighted climate plan. He highlighted that the report's climate projections (flood zones, sea level rise) only extend to 2050, despite the city's need for longer-term planning.

Jacob, a research scientist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Columbia University professor, warned of New York's storm flooding vulnerabilities long before Hurricane Sandy. He has since become a central figure in post-Sandy discussions.

Thierry Vrain, a retired soil biologist and former head of a molecular biology department, spent his career engineering nematode resistance in crops. In retirement, as a gardener, he gained a deeper understanding of soil ecosystems.

Observing public concern about food safety, Vrain, with his expertise in genetic engineering, felt compelled to act. He has joined a campaign to educate consumers about potential health issues reported in recent scientific literature.

With resource and energy prices becoming increasingly volatile, the long-term viability of today's linear economy is in question. This raises the idea of favoring access and performance over ownership of goods.

A short animation from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation introduces this concept, illustrating how a performance model could benefit businesses, users, and the wider economy. This approach is a vital component in the transition to a regenerative circular economy.
