Seeing Green: Solutions for Our Daily Lives
The Seeing Green Podcast
Solutions for Our Daily Lives
Welcome to The Seeing Green Podcast, your guide to making healthier, more sustainable choices in everyday life. The show spotlights the people, products and real solutions driving progress and impact — from eco-apparel to green home goods, plant-forward food, electric mobility and more.
The Seeing Green podcast features three recurring formats:
🔦 Spotlight Series — deep dives into the Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day, unpacking the brand or innovation at hand, the challenges it addresses, and the bigger story.
🌱 Greening My… Series — a practical series exploring everyday spaces and routines (like the bathroom, bedroom, or kitchen) to uncover where the impact is, and spotlighting brands making it easier to live lighter.
🎙️ In Conversation With… — host Douglas Sabo (former Chief Sustainability Officer at Visa) sits down with founders and leaders behind these brands to explore the inspiration, challenges, and practical solutions that help consumers live more sustainably.
Each episode is accessible, actionable and hopeful—designed to meet listeners where they are, whether they’re sustainability newcomers or seasoned changemakers.
