Do yourself a favor and watch An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power (https://inconvenientsequel.tumblr.com) and check to see if a Climate Reality Training (https://www.climaterealityproject.org) is in your neighborhood.
Founded by former Senate Majority Harry Reid (from my hometown), this conference has been instrumental in bringing together Republicans and Democrats all with a shared vision of tapping into the clean energy revolution in the name of climate change and sustainability.
Governors shared their visions, mayors shared their tactics, and the military shared their need to transition from fossil fuels. Business women and policy experts shared how innovation and technology are powering renewable energy.
A highlight of the conference was photographer Jamey Stillings (https://www.jameystillingsprojects.com/) "CHANGING PERSPECTIVES: ENVISIONING RENEWABLE ENERGY" project that showcases renewable energy development. His work "is meant to inspire, inform, and challenge us to envision a future where renewable and sustainable energy production replaces our current dependence on fossil fuels.
