On this episode of Mizter Rad Show, our guest Terry Paule joins us to discuss the pressing issue of water scarcity and the innovative solution of botanical water technologies. We delve into the alarming statistics of 200 million man-hours spent every day carting water for survival, predominantly by women and young girls who miss out on education. Terry highlights the persistent water issue in developing countries and the lack of focus on this issue in the developed world due to other distractions. We explore the recent United Nations water conference, which acknowledged the impact of water scarcity and contamination and set the goal of providing clean drinking water to everyone by 2030 as part of the sustainability development goals. However, Terry points out that we are far behind achieving this goal, and by 2030, 40% of the world's population will be affected by water scarcity. In response to this challenge, Terry introduces their business model of sustainable capitalism, aiming to shift from a shareholder model to a stakeholder model that includes both shareholders and recipients of the water in decision-making. They have developed a commercial standard water harvest unit, housed in a shipping container, which purifies water from waste products in industries such as tomato sauce factories. A key aspect of their solution is the Botanical Water Exchange, a platform that connects water suppliers and demand, specifically targeting corporates with environmental, social, and governance goals. Terry discusses their partnership with Fujitsu to create a blockchain trading platform for water exchange and emphasizes the importance of helping Fortune 500 companies and other industries achieve their sustainability goals. We also delve into the larger issues at hand, such as humanity's arrogance towards the planet and the potential for conflicts and wars due to water scarcity in the future. Terry highlights the need for more holistic approaches to address water scarcity and emphasizes how climate change exacerbates extreme weather events and water issues. Throughout the episode, we discuss the role of government, education, and infrastructure in addressing water conservation. Terry advocates for a change in mindset and greater awareness of the importance of water infrastructure, while also acknowledging the need for public-private partnerships in investing and maintaining water infrastructure. Moreover, we explore the impact of botanical water technologies on vulnerable populations, with Terry expressing their goal of impacting 100 million of the world's most vulnerable people by 2025 through gifting the water technology and collaborating with NGOs and governments. Join us on this eye-opening episode of Mizter Rad Show as we unpack the challenges of water scarcity and the promising solutions offered by botanical water technologies.
