On this show we explore the people, ideas, and innovations driving our transition to a sustainable low carbon future. This episode features an extraordinary guest whose influence in climate leadership spans decades- Terry Tamminen. From advising Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on environmental policy as the Secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency, to leading the development of the blue economy as President and CEO of AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles, Tamminen has long been at the forefront of sustainable development. Our student co-hosts Mila Rehak and Sophie Bietel dive into Tamminen's experience shaping California's environmental strategy, the evolving blue economy, and what lies ahead for the future of renewable energy.
