E130: Agile Sustainability Manifesto with Ines Garcia

In this episode, I share an interview with Ines Garcia, who is one of the creators of the Agile Sustainability Manifesto. She emphasizes the importance of adapting sustainable behaviors to individual lifestyles and advocating for change through personal example rather than pressure. She stresses that meaningful change starts with individual willingness to be part of the solution and that tipping points in sustainability are not linear but require collective effort.

We also explore her work in agile sustainability, including the Agile Alliance Sustainability Initiative and collaborative projects such as her books and a community-driven recipe collection with proceeds that support charitable causes. We also discuss the concept of biomimicry, using nature-inspired solutions for innovation and process improvement, and discusses the integration of sustainability into business practices.
