Whether or not you are moved by Greta Thunberg's passionate articulation of the
existential danger posed by the global climate crisis, it is clear that she
represents a growing force demanding political change to address climate
change. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg
)
Greta is well known. Here is another name that may be less familiar ... Molly
Wood.
According to Wikipedia “Molly was the
tech correspondent and backup host for the US public radio program Marketplace
and its various spinoffs.”
As a tech correspondent, Ms. Wood came to realize that, for her, it was more
important to do something to help solve our climate issues, rather than simply
report on things others are doing.
Her background in technology and financial reporting led her into venture
capital. “On November 3, 2021, Molly
announced on Twitter that she would be leaving Marketplace to join Jason
Calacanis's venture capital firm.” (Wikipedia). As she says during an
interview on Climate One, a growing number of VC investors are beginning to
understand that there is money to be made in saving the planet. And they are
beginning to invest in start-ups that are creating solutions that can make that
happen.
She hosts a podcast called “How We Survive.” (https://www.marketplace.org/collection/using-tech-to-adapt-to-climate-change/
).
An excellent introduction to Molly Wood’s approach is the Climate One interview
mentioned above (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw1LCJm6sTw
). Give it a listen. If you like what you hear, listen to her
podcast.
