Carbonauts, The BIG 6 & Climate Change

In this episode, I speak with Graham about how we are doing in the fight against climate change. The modern environmental movement has been around for about 30 years and awareness is solid. The next piece to fighting climate change is action. Graham with Carbonauts is doing just that. He discusses The BIG six, the highest impact actions we can take to slash our environmental footprint. Cool conversation. Please enjoy!

Guest Bio

Graham, who was named one of Fast Company’s “100 Most Creative People in Business” and featured on the cover of Inc. Magazine, is a highly sought-after speaker known for his ability to eloquently explain how we can all create a simpler, wealthier, greener and happier planet.

He has presented at many prestigious conferences around the world, including two main-stage TED Talks that have received 11M+ views.

Graham is also the founder and CEO of The Carbonauts, a company that teaches people how to reduce their carbon footprints in under six weeks while saving money and influencing others.

Their clients include giant companies like Amazon, Chanel, News Corp, Toyota, AT&T, Warner Brothers, Discovery, Netflix, Dow Jones, and HarperCollins, whose employees have taken their online courses on the planet and decreased their carbon footprints by up to 40%.

They believe if we can get 3.5% of the world’s population to live compelling, low-footprint lives, a tipping point will be reached, and governments and companies will pave the way for the rest of society to quickly transition to a sustainable way of life.

Graham has worked in the environmental field for 20+ years. Before Carbonauts, he founded the ground-breaking website TreeHugger, which was the most trafficked green site for years, with billions of page views. In 2007, he sold this website to the Discovery Channel.
