Episode #5 About Food Wasting

This time in our Sustainability Podcast, we will explore the topic of food wasting to contribute to the upcoming International Day of Food Loss and Waste which will be celebrated on September 29. In conversation with Anna Strejcová from the non-profit organization Zachraň jídlo ("Save the Food"), you will learn for example:

• How food contributes to global CO2 emissions.
• How much food goes to waste and how much money can a family save by adopting shopping habits.
• How can you use new technologies to prevent food wasting.

Episode #4 About City Gardens

The #EarthOvershootDay means that from tomorrow on, the resources humanity uses will exceed what Earth can regenerate this year. At Zentiva, we do what we can to help to shift the date later in the year and reverse the trend of exhausting our planet, that is why we bring awareness to this day. Aside from concrete sustainability actions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, we believe in awareness and the need to educate ourselves and others about which small actions we can take as individuals to contribute.

Our Sustainability Podcast is the result of that, and we bring you a new episode inspired by City Gardens projects. In this conversation with Luca Comino, Creative and Planning Director of I.E.S - Italian Enables of Sustainability we learn that these kinds of initiatives not only help to reduce the negative impact on the environment but also have a positive influence on well-being, reducing stress, improving mental health and enhancing the overall quality of life.

We invite you to join our Sustainability #podcast and learn about:

• What is Biophilia and why is it important?
• How we can help the environment in cities?
• What is the social perspective of having nature in the cities?
