When he worked as a marine biologist, Ed Gillespie spent the day repeating the same mantra to anyone who would listen: \u201cIf we don\u2019t stop catching all the fish in the sea, the time will come when there won\u2019t be any more fish.\u201d Frustrated and concerned by the planet\u2019s situation, he decided to look for another type of platform to discuss the huge environmental problems. After working as an environmental manager for London\u2019s Department of Transportation, he created Futerra, a consulting firm that transforms companies committed to sustainability. Along the way he became an environmental entrepreneur, lecturer and sustainability guru, in addition to being a member of Greenpeace\u2019s Board of Directors in the U.K. Gillespie is an ardent supporter of the slow travel movement, and several years ago, traveled around the world without setting foot in an airplane. And he preaches by example. For this interview in Madrid, he took the train from London. \u201cI take the train whenever I can\u2026 and I live on an island,\u201d he says, laughing.  ","author_name":"BBVA Creando Futuro","author_url":"https:\/\/www.bbva.com\/es\/especiales\/bbva-podcast\/","html":"
