Today on the COP26 Climate Emergency special, I speak to the incredible Dune Ives, who is the CEO of Lonely Whale, an incubator for courageous ideas that drive impactful, market-based change on behalf of our ocean. You will probably know the Lonely Whale from their viral 2017 #StopSucking campaign that reached millions of people worldwide and helped keep 29 million straws out of the waste stream.
An experienced leader and trusted advisor in the fields of corporate sustainability and global philanthropy, Dune brings over years of expertise and a thoughtful and optimistic approach to achieve an ocean free from plastic pollution.
In this episode, we hear Dune speak about her own upbringing in Alaska that helped shape her sense of community and respect for nature, her commitment to always addressing ecological issues at the very root, and how the power of creativity in landing a message that needs to be heard.
Top tip: Just do something, don’t worry too much about what exactly that thing is. Everything you do to better your community, yourself, your planet… It all helps.
