#12: Going for Gold in Sustainability

This week we spoke with Simone Unanue about her work as a
sustainable architect and as sustainability manager for the 2016
Rio Olympics and 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. She even had
to manage dogs and alligators as part of her work! In this ep we
cover:
 - sustainable infrastructure rating tools (LEED, HQE,
BREEAM)
- how sustainable supply chains work on small scales and large
scales (e.g. the 2016 Rio Olympics)
- why did Simone need to manage dogs and alligators at the
Olympics? (new event!?)
- how many stray dogs in Rio found new homes leading up to the
Olympic Games as a result of the efforts of Simone's work and her
team?
- how the Rio Olympics got their Gold medals - how hard is it to
find sustainable gold?
