ECO 18-17 ECOCIDE. Be a Legal Earth Protector with Polly Higgins

April 16, 2018July 11, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and Polly Higgins, on air from April 24th

Let’s Get SYNC’D! series

ECOCIDE is: “loss or damage to, or destruction of ecosystem(s) of a given territory(ies), such that peaceful enjoyment by the inhabitants has been or will be severely diminished.”

A law prohibiting ecocide is not yet in place – but with your help as a legal Earth Protector, it can be.

Ecocide Law sits at the heart of an emerging body of law called Earth Law. Earth law puts people and planet first and ensures the well-being of the whole Earth community. Earth Law recognizes that the Earth has natural limits and boundaries, and it is for us to ensure the welfare of the entire Earth Community by putting in place laws that protect future generations.

One-day Ecocide will be a crime. All of humanity depends on healthy ecosystems, so humanity has a choice: to either consciously prevent the extensive destruction of ecosystems or wait for the consequences to impact us directly. Either way, the status quo where Ecocide remains profitable and legal cannot continue forever, so a law preventing it is inevitable and will be with us soon.

However, the Law of Ecocide is more than a peace agenda. It will also trigger the ‘Green Economy’ and create millions of jobs, which will be good for people, societies, governments and shareholders everywhere.

It is happening, and we need to get behind it now.

Identifying ecocide as a crime is not new – Sweden’s prime minister Olaf Palme highlighted it at the time of the Stockholm Declaration in 1972, and it was further discussed in the decades preceding the drafting of the Rome Statute in the 1990s, though it did not make the final draft (except as applied specifically to wartime environmental harm).

It was researched in depth from 2009 by UK barrister Polly Higgins, who proposed it into the United Nations International Law Commission in 2010 as a fifth Crime Against Peace (as the Rome Statute crimes were called). She has advocated its crucial importance ever since. Polly Higgins has familiarised the world with the term “ecocide” in contexts ranging from international diplomatic circles to NGOs and cultural forums to journalists and grassroots activists, inspiring a worldwide awareness of the potential of a law of ecocide.

Mission LifeForce came into existence in 2017 to enable the next stage of putting that law in place by financing those States who can take it forward, while simultaneously creating the opportunity for

conscientious protectors standing up for frontline communities to be heard in a court of law
judiciary to recognise ecocide as a missing crime

ECO18-13 Passive Houses the Benefits to All

March 26, 2018April 25, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Rob Lyon, on air from March 27th

How much energy and money do we lose in our current homes? way too much to count. With so much innovation out there we do not need to keep building the same old money pit of homes that we have been building. It is time to not only save our own money, but to save our planetary energy resources, or we are facing a very hard tomorrow. When we know that there is something better, it is easier to adapt, adopt and redirect to a home that saves on so many levels.

Passive House Standard

The passive house standard was developed in Germany about 40 years ago. The goal was to create a comfortable home that was both friendly to the environment and efficient to operate. The standard calls for two main measurable outcomes: an airtight structure of no more than .6 air changes per hour at 50 pascals of pressure; and heating and cooling cost not to exceed 15kw per meter squared. To put this into perspective, the way we build houses today, the average house leaks at a rate of 4 to 6 air changes per hour and costs about 150kw per meter squared. That is a full order of magnitude apart we had a long way to go.

It turns out the way we have been building houses is the wrong way and we can easily build to this standard, gaining a ten times advantage, by applying just a few simple principles. Eliminate thermal bridges, use only tight sealing windows and doors, reduce northern exposed glazing, maximize solar gain in the winter and minimize in the summer, an pay attention to the details.

The revolutionary energy performance of Passive House buildings demands a rigorous and scientific approach to design and construction. Energy performance savings of 80 – 90% (compared to conventional Canadian construction) do not happen by chance.

While Passive House is certainly the world’s most ambitious and verified energy-efficient building standard, most people invest in this type of construction for the higher quality of living.

The many benefits of Passive House construction over regular Canadian Building Code construction include:

Much better indoor air quality – comfortable humidity levels, low CO2 levels because of comfort ventilation, with optimum ventilation flowrates calculated for each room
Increased thermal comfort – the highest level of interior comfort of any building, with all surfaces equally warm (including the windows), no drafts (ever), no setbacks, no temperature swings
Superior sound insulation – extraordinary airtightness levels, triple-pane glass and thick insulation also provide superior sound insulation – Passive Houses are very quiet indoors!
Almost-unbelievable energy efficiency – 80-90% better than standard construction, with simply no need for a conventional heating system
More durable – detailed and advanced design, better building components, proven building science
Almost no maintenance – very simple mechanical systems compared to normal construction
Resilient – the most resilient construction standard anywhere, which maintains livable conditions even during power or fuel outages, relies very little on any mechanical systems
Sustainable – because of very low energy consumption and durable construction
Versatile – Passive Houses can be built in any climate zone and applied to any building type, utilizing a wide variety of building materials and methods
Internationally embraced – already over 40,000 units in more than 35 different countries … with numbers growing rapidly from China to Abu Dhabi to Alaska.

Rob Lyon: Growing up as the son of a baker I could think of nothing more in life than going to work each day and eating cakes and cookies but my real love I discovered in high school was physics. I went to university to study physics but switched to computer science and fell in love all over again. Then I discovered the military. What a game changer that was. I joined the Navy as a junior officer and started sailing the seven seas. Soon I was a weapons officer and that meant missiles. I put my computer science background to work and for the next twenty years programmed missile control systems, I was a rocket scientist! It’s all about the software, the chemistry hasn’t changed in 40 years. I also got married, had 5 children, and completed a Masters Degree in Digital Technologies.

I am a passionate person who has always stayed busy. I loved my children and became a scoutmaster, volunteering for 20 years serving in Cubs, Scouts, and Ventures. About 15 years ago I started building houses. About 3 years ago I started studying building science and 1 year ago I learned about the Passive House standard; I had a new passion.

So now as I embark on my final?? career, I will build my first passive house for my wife and I and look forward to sharing that knowledge and experience through my company Pacific Passive House. I am 57.

Here is an example of a Pacific Passive House
