Sometimes a person is just omnipresent, so you have to check them out. That’s the story with this week’s guest, corporate sustainabilty thought leader, Bob Eccles. A past guest (Shannon Fitzgerald O’Shea) connected us over email because she thought he’d make an excellent guest on the show.
How are we already in May? I tell you what, I am ready for May flowers after all the March and April showers. Even though a hydrangea bush attacked me, leaving a scratch near my eye, and then a wasp stung me, I have been trying to spend a little time each day outside, watching the new blooms emerge and pulling those pesky weeds.
Listen, I'm a bit of an introvert, so I generally don't enjoy conferences. But I LOVED EarthX. I found it inspiring to be around so many people from different industries doing their part to solve...
This year’s Earth Day, the 55th anniversary of the first ever such day, founded in 1970 at the nascence of America’s environmental awakening, found your republicEn.org team spending the day in different ways.
Our executive director Bob Inglis was in Charleston for the YR conference, where he met today’s guest. Evan Patroay is a one-time Fulbright Scholar, a volunteer with American Conservation Coalition, a blogger, so check out his blog, Thoughts of a Conservative Environmentalist, and for his day job, works as a Conservation and Restoration Program Coordinator for the state of South Carolina.
TGIF, Happy Easter, Happy Birthday to the three people I know with birthdays today… This weekend will find me playing tourist in DC, showing around a high school friend and her daughter. Hoping for good weather and a panda sighting (within the confines of the Zoo, of course).
I love meeting someone randomly, which is how Jonathan Leonard came to be on this show. The founder of The Sludge Hub, a shared work space (so to speak) for abandoned mine lands restoration, he had reached out to me to share opportunities to join them for an “externship” (tune in to hear more) and I thought what he is doing sounded cool. Tada!
Hello, friends! I hope this message finds you enjoying the madness of spring. I love seeing where the tulips pop up (usually not where I planted them, thanks squirrels) and all the rain has turned everything a wonderful spectrum of greens.
Fan (and pod) favorite Catrina Rorke is back to share with us the Climate Leadership Council’s udated research on the U.S. Carbon Advantage.
Cherry blossom season is already in the rear view mirror, but tulip season is just beginning (at least in my yard… which is sometimes a whole week behind my neighbor’s garden).
This week’s featured guest is a long-time (and active) member of our community. Bill Chapman is an avid ecorighter who has created a couple of different opportunities to engage conservatives on climate change. He’s the founder of Conservative Climate Activists, a conservative-leaning, market-oriented, pro-human, pro-technology group that believes that climate change is a dire situation. He hosts a monthly Climate Science and Energy Engineering Dinner in midtown Manhattan. And he’s a strong advocate for nuclear power.
TGIF, for sure… This post-accidental electric shock therapy week has been one of ups and downs, for sure.
Note to readers: when the doctors say rest, usually they mean it. Hopefully that is what we all have in store for the weekend ahead.
