Abstract

This is a special three-part series for season four that you suggested to our listeners! We’ve entitled it “Changing the System - Back to School.” All of our guests and organizations in this special series want to impact climate in the classroom or through the school itself (think renewable energy!) We hope you enjoy this bonus series as it came from you – our listeners! In this second episode of the series, Eric Benson welcomes Tish Tablan from Generation 180 to discuss how to “be the spark” to help install solar on your school. Tish shares her journey into sustainability, inspired by William McDonough, and her work at Generation 180 promoting clean energy solutions. They delve into the organization's programs like 'Electrify Our Schools,' which aims to help schools save and then reinvest their money in addition to teach sustainability by integrating solar energy. The conversation highlights successful solar case studies, the impact of school-based solar projects, and ways community members can advocate for solar energy in their local schools.
