He helps us realize that all of us are more powerful against climate change than we think, and that while nobody can do everything, everybody can do something. His book offers pragmatic, data-driven evidence to help direct us to where we can have the most impact across everything we do.In this conversation, they explored the journey of sustainability, especially as it relates to companies and careers, emphasizing that every job can contribute to climate action. They also discuss the importance of maximizing opportunities in sustainability rather than focusing solely on minimizing our negative impacts.Additionally, they explore the balance between individual responsibility and corporate accountability in sustainability efforts.For example, did you know your tabs consume energy, even when you’re not using them? Or that most Xbox users leave their games unattended, wasting energy when the console could be switched off?This and the role that choice architecture among smart design plays in creating pathways for a more mindful existence are just a few of the things covered in this empowering conversation.Two climate optimists coming together to plant seeds for radical change — this is a conversation you don't want to miss!
