61 - Cora Olsen
With Cora Olsen
“"We need to transition into living regenerative lives and not just being sustainable. Sustainability at the end of the day, is about the ability to sustain and I'm not sure that I would want to sustain what we have right now".”
Reflections
Q1: Place
If we could do a flypast on any part of the world that is significant to you, which place, city or country would it be and why?
Ribe in Western Denmark
Q2: Life
Give us a glimpse into your life story so far with an emphasis on what you are doing currently?
Passionate about sustainability and justice from an early age with a special focus on animal and human rights. Eventually chose the corporate path to try to make an impact on the world. Working with sustainability making the transition into living regenerative lives and not just being sustainable. There is a lot of confusion in terms of sustainability so spend a lot of time speaking at conferences, engaging with organisations to try to facilitate that understanding. Now working with Better Energy.
Q3: Reset
Where on earth is your place or reset or re-charge?
A small apartment in Berlin
Q4: Wonder
What wonder of the natural world excites you the most?
Nature's system of equilibrium. It's amazing ability to readjust and recalibrate itself.
Q5: Hopefulness
What is your story of hopefulness (not your own) about a person, business or non-profit who are doing amazing things for the world?
The future fit foundation. It is the most amazing thing I have seen from a corporate perspective in terms of understanding and measuring and providing a management tool for sustainability and regeneration. In the terms of actually transforming the energy systems then Better Energy is the other story of hopefulness.
