Purple Goes Green: Talking Sustainability with Carly, Director of Sustainability
This week on the pod, it’s a little different—Alex is not in the studio, and Brad is unsupervised… or at least, he thought he was. Enter: Carly Thibodeau, Director of Sustainability, to keep him in check as they tackle one of the biggest topics yet—sustainability.
They break down the actual impact of climate change, from unpredictable weather patterns to the terrifying possibility of a world without maple syrup (a truly dystopian nightmare). Brad also ponders the ultimate philosophical question: Is it still "green energy" if you forget to check the box on your electric bill?
In this week’s Brad has a Lightning Round, they cover the most low-effort ways to be sustainable, whether or not buying a reusable water bottle counts as a personality trait, and how much guilt is too much when you leave your canvas tote bag at home again.
Plus, a deep dive into Purple Goes Green Week at Holy Cross—including The Show the Waste, the one event that’s equal parts educational and deeply unsettling, showing all the waste from un eaten food. They also chat about trayless dining (spoiler: it’s actually brilliant), composting (it’s not that gross, we promise), and the little things that make a big difference—without requiring you to live like a forest hermit.
It’s a wild ride full of laughs, slightly alarming climate facts, and Brad’s best attempt at staying on topic. Tune in!
