ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We're releasing this interview with Dr. Elizabeth Sawin now as she shares a hopeful and constructive message for how to approach tackling the climate and ecological emergency. We're grateful to Dr. Sawin for coming on, and also to Carolyn Weaver, XR NYC's Twitter Master, for interviewing Dr. Sawin. **Please note this episode was recorded before the COVID-19 crisis, so the interview doesn't address the events current in April, 2020 when this episode is being released.**

Beth is a biologist with a Ph.D. from MIT, her work focuses on helping people find solutions that prevent future climate change and build resilience to unavoidable climate impacts.
