OUR TEAM
We created this podcast in Spring 2021 to help fill the gap that exists between folks recognizing that climate change is a problem in search of urgent solutions — and deciding to do something about it! We hope you'll join our community of listeners who want to take action. More about us...

After living through the California fires and paying more attention to the ever more dire news about climate change, she became a climate advocate with Citizens' Climate Lobby in 2018. While meeting others through her advocacy, she was constantly impressed by what others were doing to make their lives more green, and wanted to unearth those stories. She is also a proud caretaker of 3 adorable indoor plants: Edward Morgan Forster, Rosa Parks, and Graham Greene.
