This podcast helps individuals thrive by demystifying the energy system complexities such that everyone feels empowered to participate in the new energy evolution.
Although climate change is getting more attention, it is rare that we get an ecosystem view of who is responsible for what. And given that climate affects everything we know – from electricity and transportation, to water, manufacturing and our social fabric – it also poses a challenge: where do we start in tackling the problems? For those who are outside of the traditional energy, environment and climate sectors, it’s hard to feel engaged in the Cleantech Revolution.
This podcast is designed to call out the systems of sustainability in our jobs, our daily lives and our communities. Sustainability is rewiring the way organizations work as new partnerships are created between nontraditional allies.
As we listen to these experts share their stories, think to yourself, within my communities, where are my levers of exchange? ke a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point. If you sell something, use this space to describe it in detail and tell us why we should make a purchase. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this.
