Hi, I’m Michael.
After years as an engineer and corporate manager, I founded my own consulting firm focused on sustainability solutions. Since retiring, I’ve been tackling puzzles that align seemingly conflicting interests and discovering win-win strategies with my clients. I also support a project dedicated to ocean ecology. My wife Karin and my son Alex were the first to suggest a podcast for me. As a natural optimist and father of two wonderful kids, I tend to resist gloomy predictions about our future. We probably live in the best world we ever had, with the promise of making a meaningful life accessible for a growing part of the world population, but it is imperative to keep this spirit alive. Therefore, I’ve created an antidote to scepticism: ‘Michael’s Green World.’

Join us behind the scenes of the Redes Fantasma and Marine Conservation Symposium in Faro, Portugal – a unique one-day event that brings together marine scientists, NGOs, public authorities, tech developers, Rotary representatives, students, and coastal actors to tackle the threat of ghost nets.
In this episode, recorded before the symposium, we speak with Ophélie Reis (Ocean Patrol) and António Santos Ferreira (Tech team, Portugal) about what it takes to prepare an event like this — from managing logistics to inspiring local action and making scalable marine protection real.
It’s a raw and honest look at the people, ideas, and pressure behind the scenes — where “giving back” becomes “diving in”.
