Sustainability can be heavy. Design can be precious. Climate storytelling can feel like a lecture. Once Upon a Planet is here to change that. Hosted by Jon Strassner—co-creator of Break Some Dishes and longtime challenger of the status quo—this podcast explores the intersection of interesting and climate change. That tiny 2-stop intersection is vitally important if we want to grow our understanding and awareness of global climate change.
In this episode of Break Some Dishes, co-host Verda Alexander sits down for a conversation with Jenn Chen, Principal Interior Designer at LMN Architects.
They first discuss Jenn's groundbreaking research that has revealed the cyclical nature of interior renovations as it significantly contributes to carbon emissions, rivaling the impact of building structures themselves. Their conversation dives into the need for greater awareness and responsibility within the industry, challenging traditional practices and exploring sustainable alternatives.
Explore the transformative power of interior design through a conversation about the importance of shifting mindsets, embracing reuse and preservation, and considering the lifecycle of materials. By examining the decisions we make and developing practical tools for change, Jenn advocates for a more conscious approach to interior design that prioritizes environmental stewardship.
