Pittsburgh's dimmable, wildlife-friendly streetlights

As the U.S. government reverses course on renewable energy projects and other policies related to climate change, environmental solutions may seem out of reach. But they’re happening all over the country.

Cara Buckley and Catrin Einhorn, who cover climate for The New York Times, discuss their project to document small but significant efforts to solve climate and environmental problems in every U.S. state.

Guest:

• Cara Buckley, a reporter at The New York Times who writes about people working toward climate solutions.
• Catrin Einhorn, a reporter covering biodiversity, climate and the environment for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• The Times set out to document one climate success story in each state. Here’s a full list.
• Readers submitted more than 3,200 ideas for our 50 States, 50 Fixes series. We’re highlighting just a few more of the ideas that stood out but that did not make it into the series.
