We Need It All: Products, Policies, and Protests To Solve Climate Change (#12)

“There are three areas of action available to all of us to move the needle on climate change.” – Josh Dorfman

With climate skeptics that don’t believe in global warming still refusing to accept climate science, it can feel like it is impossible to solve the climate issues in front of us. You may be wondering how you can play a role and participate in reducing your impact on the environment and solve the climate change dilemma. If you are concerned about what you can do today, you may be surprised to know that you can make more of an impact than you thought possible.

In today’s episode, I discuss how products, policies, and protests are the three key areas we need to solve climate change. I discuss why we need to shop sustainably, press our politicians to change laws, and take it to the streets to make positive change happen. I share some of the innovative products that reduce our environmental impact and reveal the magic number of protestors we need on our streets to ensure laws and policies change quickly.
