Should every job be a climate job? I was honored to speak at the recent American Society for Engineering Education conference at the invitation of The Lemelson Foundation and Engineering for One Planet. This was my response ⤵️ It can be. It should be. My vision is it is. We’re not there yet, but I think it starts with people seeing beyond just their job descriptions and understanding how they can help in their own way, in their community, within their job, outside of their job, whatever that is. Everybody taking responsibility for their planet as a whole. And that comes with education and understanding. Do you agree? Thank you to Cindy Pereira Cooper for organizing this panel and Joel Clement for masterfully moderating our conversation. And to my fellow panelists, Jim Hanna, Roth Chan, J'reyesha Brannon, P.E., and Sri Yeswanth (Yash) Tadimalla (He/Him) - thank you for the impact you are making in your careers and for sharing your insights in Portland!
