As Climate Campaign Director for NRDC, my job involves finding ways to help move the US forward in dealing responsibly with global warming. So I get to work on all kinds of different projects that involve public outreach, research and reports, and creative ways of bringing together different interest groups and constituencies to advocate for change. Global warming is a huge challenge; solving it demands the best of us as a global community and as individuals. But this also presents a huge opportunity to make the world, and our lot in it, better.
