269) Teresa Coady: Redesigning built environments for life rather than machines

Do you despair at the concrete jungle so many cities have become as well as the increased drought and floods we find ourselves experiencing these days as our new normal? On this week's show, I interview design, engineering and construction powerhouse Teresa Coady, author of “Rebuilding Earth: Designing Eco-Conscious Habitats for Humans”. Teresa articulates so brilliantly how construction and how we build is key to the healing process our planet and people are so desperate for. In the past 30 years, we've taken more out of the Earth than all of human history…and 70 per cent of it is already back in landfill, so something needs to change and Teresa's proposal for how we move forward is something that I believe everyone needs to hear. I hope you love this interview as much as I did. Head to the show notes for further details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast.
