Sustainability Now! | Alex Herrin | Mayor's Office of Sustainability | 3-17-25

On this week’s Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, is delighted to introduce you to Alex Herrin! In October 2024, the Louisville Metro Office of Sustainability welcomed Alex to the team as a new Sustainability Coordinator. Alex's passion for sustainability started while he was growing up around a neighborhood nature preserve in Austin, TX, and grew as he witnessed firsthand the drastic impacts of climate change in the western United States. Previously, he was a sustainability analyst with UPS in Atlanta, GA, and before that, he was an AmeriCorps Fellow with Sacramento County in California, where he conducted the county’s first entirely in-house greenhouse gas inventory. Alex looks forward to making Louisville a more sustainable and resilient city!
