Footprint Coalition's "Downstream Channel" is an exploration of the environmental challenges created by our industrial footprint led by Robert Downey Jr. and his co-host and Footprint Managing Director, Rachel Kropa.
Together, they'll talk through some of the most pressing environmental issues facing the planet and enlist a panel of experts (including executives and founders from some of Footprint Coalition Ventures' portfolio companies) who are finding ways for us to walk a little lighter on the world's stage.
Each episode includes a brief but informative overview of issues, a mystery box containing surprises related to the theme of the week, quotes to encapsulate the topics up for discussion and featured interviews with fascinating guests.
Robert Downey Jr. and Rachel Kropa discuss WASTE with Juliet Schor, a highly decorated professor of sociology at Boston College whose research focuses on consumer culture, time use, and environmental sustainability. Schor is the bestselling author of The Overworked American: The Unexpected Decline of Leisure and Born to Buy: The Commercialized Child and the New Consumer Culture.
