Full Interview | Andy Weinstein
At EarthX 2025, Lawrence Ford, Founder & CEO of Conscious Capital Foundation speaks with Andy Weinstein about what happens when we stop hiding behind “externalities” and start designing supply chains that serve people and the planet.
In this full conversation, Andy breaks down the beverage supply chain, the overlooked power of waste streams, and a compelling circular model: converting agricultural waste (like apples) into hydrogen and CO₂—the fuel and the fizz—while proving sustainability can lower costs, not raise them.
