Soil, Soul and Systems Change: A Conversation with Sammy Davies
Group Lead, Ved Krishna

Sammy Davies, Director of Sustainability & Brand at EcoSafe Zero Waste, joins host Ved Krishna to explore how systems change thinking, ancient earth wisdom, and regenerative leadership intersect with modern waste management.

Regenerative Leadership and Earth Wisdom

Sammy Davies introduces her concept of regenerative leadership — the idea that the most effective sustainability advocates stay grounded in ecological wisdom and personal connection to the natural world.

The Reality of Modern Waste Management

Modern waste management is full of promises but short on delivery — Sammy takes a critical look at what’s actually working in diversion strategies and what household items are quietly making a difference.

Herbalism, Ayurveda, and Environmental Advocacy

Sammy’s background in herbalism and ancestral medicine has fundamentally shaped her approach to environmental leadership, informing a holistic view of systems change that goes beyond policy and technology.

What Zero Waste Really Means

The journey toward zero waste is rarely a straight line — Sammy confronts the uncomfortable truths about the green products we rely on and why lasting transformation requires falling in love with the systems we seek to fix.

What is Good Garbage?

Sammy reflects on what good garbage means to her and shares her hope for a future where waste systems are redesigned from the ground up with both ecological integrity and human wellbeing at their core.
