Episode Introduction

"Audio Signals hosts Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin explore the challenges of preserving freshwater sources with guest Tara Lordi. They discuss her innovative, environmentally friendly solution to replace harmful chemicals used in treating lakes, streams, and canals."

Welcome to Audio Signals, where insightful stories, captivating conversations, and intriguing topics that matter are brought to the listeners. Hosts Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin are excited to dive into an important issue that affects the planet and the water people drink. They invite the audience to join, share thoughts, and subscribe to the show for many more fascinating stories.

In this episode, the challenges faced in maintaining and preserving freshwater sources are discussed with guest Tara Lordi, who, along with her late husband, started a company in 2010 to address the issues surrounding the use of chemicals in lakes, streams, and canals. Born out of their love for water and the great outdoors, Tara's company offers an innovative solution that replaces the use of harmful chemicals with a more environmentally friendly approach.

During the conversation, Tara shares a startling discovery she made when she noticed a sign at a lake warning against swimming for 24 hours. Upon further investigation, she found that the lake had been treated with dangerous chemicals that cause cellular death, intended to eliminate invasive weeds. This revelation led Tara and her husband to develop a solution to remove these weeds without resorting to harmful chemicals – a 12-foot vessel capable of removing 500 pounds of biomass per minute.

As the broader implications of reliance on chemicals are explored, the discussion takes a philosophical turn. Why have people become so dependent on shortcuts that often create bigger problems in the long run? Is it ignorance, greed, or something else entirely? Tara shares her insights on these questions and the challenges she's faced in promoting her innovative solution to municipalities and other stakeholders.

The potential side effects of chemical use in waterways are also examined, from the impact on aquatic life to the possible absorption of these chemicals into human bodies. Tara highlights the need for a more environmentally friendly approach, as well as the crucial role that technology can play in addressing these issues.

Join this thought-provoking episode of Audio Signals as the pressing need for sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions in preserving freshwater sources is explored. Remember to share thoughts and subscribe to the show for many more fascinating stories.
