Revolutionizing Plant-Based Milks with Brittany Fuisz
Brittany Fuisz (fuse) grew up on the beaches of Malibu, eating local produce and appreciating at a very young age that food is fuel. After graduating from Georgetown University and Le Cordon Bleu, Brittany trained at the three Michelin-starred Le Bernardin and The Food Network in New York, where she studied the finest techniques in the culinary world. While trying to get pregnant, Brittany was struggling to conceive and visited a fertility doctor who recommended the auto-immune protocol, with which she experienced great results, e.g. more energy, reduced inflammation, improved focus, and strength. Brittany eliminated dairy, nuts, gluten, and soy from her diet and was searching for a milk alternative when the idea hit her: “What if I make milk from flaxseed?” Not only was the flax milk allergen-free, but had a fantastic texture due to the fact that flax is a natural emulsifier. Malibu Mylk was born! Brittany wanted to share with the world this incredible product that helped her to feel her absolute best and successfully launched Malibu Mylk in grocery stores in the LA area in 2019.

The Impacts of Herbicides on Your Community with Mackenzie Feldman
On college campuses, synthetic herbicides are predominantly used only for aesthetics. These institutions are opting to use chemicals linked to human health issues rather than exploring organic options that are safer for the grounds crew members, students, faculty, and other community members. Using synthetic herbicides to eradicate weeds for aesthetic purposes is neglectful, prioritizing landscapes that require such inputs threatens the health of community members and our environment. Enter Mackenzie Feldman! Mackenzie is the Founder and Executive Director of Herbicide-Free Campus. This organization works with students and groundskeepers around the country to advocate for an end to the spraying of synthetic herbicides at schools and a transition to organic land management. Her campaign resulted in the entire University of California system going glyphosate-free, and Mackenzie worked with a coalition to get herbicides banned from every public school in the state of Hawaii. Mackenzie is also a Food Research Fellow for Data For Progress and received the Brower Youth Award in 2019 for her work with Herbicide-Free Campus.

How Indoor Air Monitoring Can Benefit Your Health with Dustin Onghanseng
Most pollutants affecting indoor air quality come from sources inside your home or office, although some originate outdoors. Cleaning supplies, paints, insecticides, cooking appliances, fireplaces, furniture, candles, and more combine to make your indoor air quality far more dangerous than the outside air. Wouldn’t it be great to take control of the air you breathe and have the cleanest possible air in your home and your office? Thanks to Dustin Onghanseng and his team at uHoo https://thegreenlivinggurus.com/product/uhoo/ now you can! uHoo is a revolutionary new indoor air monitor that helps consumers know exactly what's in the air they breathe while providing real-time updates of any dangerous or increasing levels of pollutants and TVOC. After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Computing from the National University of Singapore in 2008, Dustin started his consulting career but quickly realized corporate culture did not suit him. After questioning how meaningful the impact of his work was to the world, he decided to seek more fulfilling options. He enrolled for an MBA at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and began his entrepreneurial journey. At HKUST, Dustin met his co-founder and CTO, Brian Lin — and together they founded uHoo. A device that can monitor the quality of the air you breathe by collecting and sending 9 air data indicators straight to your smartphone, in real-time. uHoo is the most advanced indoor air sensor in the global market. Apart from being able to track room temperature and humidity, it also monitors indoor air pressure, carbon dioxide levels, TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds), dust (PM2.5), carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone levels.
