April 2026 Edition
April kicks off our month-long celebration of Earth Day (4/22), and we’re starting with a powerful question: what happens when AI meets sustainability?
On the latest episode of The STEMINISTS, Phoebe and Mekka dig into this hot topic with Nicola Acutt, NetApp’s Chief Sustainability Officer, to explore the intersection of sustainability and AI. As Nicola says, “You can’t have a credible data strategy without a sustainability strategy.”
She shares her unique perspective as an ecologist turned business leader, breaking down how sustainability isn’t just about saving the planet— it’s about making your business stronger and smarter.
Here’s why you’ll love this episode:
- Nicola connects the dots between data and sustainability—turns out, efficient data management is a total gamechanger.
- She shares simple, actionable tips, like why you should stop storing data you don’t need (it’s like finding money under your couch cushions).
- She shares why sustainability is more than just recycling your yogurt cups (though, keep doing that!).
Nicola also introduces the concept of “systems thinking,” showing how businesses can thrive by understanding the bigger picture and planning for the long term.
Earth Day Challenge:
This Earth Day, take a moment to reflect on how your organization can align its data and sustainability goals. Small changes—like reducing unnecessary data storage—can make a big impact. |
