Welcome to another episode of Going Zero, the podcast where we dive into real-world solutions to today’s toughest sustainability challenges. Our hosts, Christy Cook, Eric Passwalk, and Seth are joined by Amielle Lake, CEO of Carbonet, a company pioneering innovative chemistry to help industries recover, reuse, and waste less water—while dramatically cutting down on fossil fuel-based chemicals. In this episode, Amielle shares her unique journey from digital marketing to sustainability entrepreneurship, and sheds light on the looming threat of global water scarcity. You’ll hear how Carbonet’s breakthrough technology is helping thousands of manufacturers, municipalities, and oil and gas operations treat wastewater more sustainably and cost-effectively—no environmental premium required. We’ll dig into why water remains an underappreciated resource, the barriers to widespread adoption of new water tech, and the challenges of shaking up a multi-billion dollar chemical “cartel.” Plus, Amielle highlights Carbonet’s real-world impact stories, talks about safety improvements for workers, and discusses her work advancing women's representation in clean tech and investing through the Women’s Equity Lab. Whether you’re a sustainability manager, a CEO, or just curious about how chemistry can help secure the future of our most vital resource, this episode will inspire you to rethink what’s possible—and the role every stakeholder can play in driving change.

Smarter Chemistry, Cleaner Water: Carbonet's Solution to Petrochemicals in Wastewater Treatment with Amielle Lake

This week, we're sitting down with Stephen O'Brien, formerly of the NY Dept of Education, to discuss driving healthy choices and sustainable solutions to a massive audience - 1.1 million students. If you’re looking to drive real change—especially in education—Stephen O’Brien’s approach offers a playbook for creating measurable impact in even the biggest organizations. Here’s what you can learn from his experience leading sustainable food service transformation: 3 steps for successful, sustainable change: **Step 1: Start with pilots, not mandates.**  Stephen didn’t try to overhaul everything at once—he launched small experiments like “Trayless Tuesdays” and salad bar pilots. Success with these prototypes gave him proof of concept and protected him from big, costly failures. **Step 2: Build coalitions—especially with your end users.**  Lasting change came because he listened to students, staff, nonprofits, and policymakers, using their feedback to design solutions that actually worked for them. When students asked for better serviceware, he collaborated *with* them, not *for* them. **Step 3: Use scale as leverage, not just as a challenge.**  Stephen pooled buying power through the Urban School Food Alliance. By aggregating demand, he negotiated better contracts for compostable plates and locally sourced food, making sustainable options affordable even in a giant system. You may not be running the nation's largest school cafeteria, but you can always start smaller, test, scale, and invite others into the journey. Sustainable change is never solo work—and your allies may be waiting where you least expect them (including your youngest “customers”).

How to Deliver Healthy Meals and and Implement Sustainable Change To 1.1 Millions Students Per Day - A Conversation with Stephen O'Brien, formerly of the NY Dept of Education

On the latest episode of Going Zero, hosts Christy Cook, Seth, and Eric sat down with Dominique Hadad, the founder of Green Scope Consulting. Unlike many established industry veterans, Dominique represents a powerful new generation in sustainability—young, bold, and determined to drive meaningful change from the ground up. Dominique’s story begins with her Caribbean roots, where first-hand exposure to climate change impacts in Trinidad and Tobago created a deep awareness and resolve. In college at The Ohio State University, Dominique studied industrial engineering and soon found herself immersed in systems thinking—not just from textbooks but through real-world experience. Some fun facts from the episode:<ol><li>Dominique Hadad started her business right out of college, supported by winning Ohio State’s President’s Prize and a pitch competition—even though she didn’t see herself as an entrepreneur at first.</li><li>Dominique helped a local Columbus restaurant achieve over 90% waste diversion, making it functionally a zero-waste restaurant (and she “had to” eat their food during the process!).</li><li>Dominique crocheted a robot while studying engineering, earning her “engineering star”—but she was always more interested in connecting people and systems than building things.</li></ol><h3> </h3>As the conversation turns to the broader future of sustainability, Dominique observes a growing movement towards transparency and authenticity—especially among young professionals. Where once degrees in sustainability were rare, now they are proliferating, creating a richly diverse talent pool. She notes, too, that diversity must include age and difference in thinking—because innovation often comes from those who see the world differently.
