Welcome to Crysta Talks Climate
Hi, I’m Crysta!
I’ve worked in the energy and climate space for the past 12 years across the private, philanthropic, and public sectors. For as long as I can remember, I‘ve cared about the environment. I remember learning about the three R’s – reduce, reuse, recycle – in elementary school and thinking “duh!” It’s always seemed obvious to me that we should protect the environment, and that protecting the environment has a larger link to health, happiness, and business success. As I built my career, this link only became clearer to me.
But it’s not obvious to everyone! Every day my conversations with friends and people I meet inevitably turn to our changing climate. Many people know that climate change is happening and feel anxious about it, but don’t understand where progress is happening, and what we can be doing collectively.
I’m hoping to make the topics that I find most interesting a little less confusing to the average person. Things like how electric vehicles can make kids healthier, how circular economy can clean up your closet, and all of the really cool things you can do with battery storage and smart devices. I’ll show you why these topics are exciting and why I’m hopeful about our future.
I hope you’ll follow along!
