Today is Earth Day, with Aidan Charron of EarthDay.org

Earth Day officially started on April 22 1970 and is officially recognized as April 22, but there are usually celebrations on different days of the week, such as SF Climate Week, which is this week! In this episode, we talk about important topics related to climate change and renewable energy. We explore the role of renewable sources like solar and wind, and how climate change impacts certain communities more than others. We share ideas for how you can make a difference this Earth Day and highlight career opportunities in the green energy field. Plus, we discuss the importance of standing up for the environment, taking legal action, and keeping up with global climate events.
 
If you are in the Bay Area, make sure to go to NorCal Solar’s party on Friday April 25th, and find out more here at www.NorCalSolar.org/events
