Hydrogen

November 26, 2022 • 12 mins

There is a gas that is extremely abundant in nature, that can generate three times as much energy as methane when burned, and that also doesn’t produce environmentally harmful emissions after combustion but releases water instead: it’s hydrogen, the key to reducing emissions for the sectors that can’t be easily electrified.

Wind

This journey starts with 1,000-year-old Persian windmills and takes us to the troposphere where we float along flying power plants. When the wind of change blows, we better fly our kites as high as possible!

Earth

This journey through the geysers of Iceland and into the warm depths of the Earth gives us the chance to reflect on the infinite, free resources the planet makes available to us every day. By focusing on resources that are naturally abundant, we can let go of the “infinite growth” mindset and create a world that is focused on distribution rather than accumulation.

Sun

November 2, 2022 • 14 mins

The incredible discovery that the sun's rays cause electrical effects on certain liquids dates back to 1839. From then to the invention and widespread use of solar panels, the Earth has circled the Sun hundreds of times. It took time but wars and economic crises have made it increasingly clear that choosing renewable energy also means choosing peace and democracy. The sun is the ultimate democratic resource because no country can s...

Coal

October 26, 2022 • 14 mins

1825 was the year when the streetlamps of Paris were no longer lit by lamplighters, one by one, but were finally connected to a centralized system and powered by a gas made from coal, making the French capital known as "ville lumiere," the "city of light."

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
