This episode of The Sustainable Angler was recorded live at the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show (IFTD) in October 2019 at the Denver Convention Center as a Sustainable Business Panel Discussion that I moderated and panelists include:
- Dr. Andy Danylchuk, Professor of Fish Conservation, UMASS Amherst
- Corinne Doctor, Co-Owner, Rep Your Water
- Steve Hemkens, VP Fly Fishing, Orvis
- Oliver White, Owner, Abaco & Bair’s Lodge
We discuss how some companies are using their businesses to fight climate change and have discovered that implementing sustainable business practices such as going zero waste to landfill and carbon neutral are not only improving their environmental performance, but is also good for their economic bottom line. The intent of the panel discussion is to educate and create more awareness about sustainability, and inspire AFFTA members to take action.
Also, if you care to watch the panel it is available on Youtube and can be viewed below:
Special thanks to Andy, Corinne, Steve and Oliver for being panelists and for leading by example when it comes to sustainability and solving the climate crisis!
