ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
A few years ago, Hal Harvey, an acclaimed energy advisor and Justin Gillis, an award winning New York Times climate reporter, discussed the health of our planet over steaks. By the end of that dinner, they decided to write a book together on the principles individuals can rely on to help save the planet. (Sound familiar?)
That book became THE BIG FIX: 7 Practical Steps to Save Our Planet. And over the course of the book, Hal and Justin provide readers with seven essential changes communities must enact to bring greenhouse gas emissions down to zero.
Today, Hal and Justin join The Net Zero Life to break down The Big Fix in detail, and as always, I ask them to share their climate origin stories and climate role models.
Hal is a Stanford trained engineer, and CEO of Energy Innovation. He is the recipient of the UN Climate and Clean Air Award, the Heinz Award for the Environment, and the State of California’s Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award. Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush both called on Hal to Serve on national and international climate panels.
Justin is an award-winning journalist with four decades of experience with major daily newspapers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Miami Herald. As the lead reporter on climate science at The Times for nearly a decade, Justin won the John B. Oakes Award for Distinguished Environmental Journalism for a series of front-page articles exploring the basics of the climate crisis.
