Douglas Woodring Speaking Topics

  • Ocean Protection and Plastic - the Material that Binds the Planet

    We all use plastic as it is valued for its light weight and durability, but its impact as waste and pollution is felt around the world. Learn from a global expert in how we go to where we are today, what some of the main issues are, and how your company, community, institution, or you as an individual, can help to make a difference.

    As the world works to conclude the UN Plastic Treaty, with over 180 countries supporting, there will be significant changes in the future of production, legislation, use of recycled content, new materials, supply chains and transparency. Over 3 billion people today live without access to waste management systems, and that impacts our waters, health, ecosystems, tourism, fishing and agriculture, and does so on a daily basis more so than climate change in terms of scale across communities.

    With over three decades working in Asia, Mr. Woodring's nuanced knowledge of communities, economics and policies will provide ideas for innovative solutions for brands, products, packaging, and how communities we live in can be part of the solutions as well.

    The audience will come away with much deeper insight into the issue, its origins, its impacts, and ways in which we can all create immediate positive impact on this complex topic.

  • The Art of Creative Surprise – Using Art, Theater, or Music to Inspire Environmental Stewardship

    Art for Awareness, characters that can inspire, or programs that engage in new ways, can cut across communities, nationalities and ideologies, inspiring change. Learn how different mediums, “Willy Wonka” reward programs, and the use of the “arts” has the power to spread the message of environmental appreciation across all types of stakeholder groups.

    With experience on the ground in many countries and communities, creating curiosity, smiles and questions is a great way to break down barriers for discussion, opening doors for collaboration, change and new types of engagement. Art for Awareness can come in the form of theater, music, sculptures, street art, human aerial images and many more, often luring in audiences and stakeholders into educational opportunities they did not expect to have, but with inspiration and caring as a result in the end.

    The audience will learn about the nuances of how to bringing about positive impact for causes across communities, even if the local language is not spoken. Words and definitions mean a lot in the way that programs, projects or groups are perceived, and the psychology of the words used can make or break efforts to bring positive change to a jurisdiction that you are trying to impact.
