Plan your getaway...from carbon emissions

She’s just a small town girl, buildin’ a more sustainable wor-ld. Join us for Episode 3, "Plan your getaway...from carbon emissions" with Emily Conway.  Emily recently went from airport sustainability to sustainable logistics in the food and beverage industry, and she believes that we can continue to travel, be comfortable (#airconditioning, y’all) and build the clean economy without compromising the needs of future generations. Sounds nice, right?  Learn about how she testified before city council and argued for her small-town’s transition away from coal, how she wrestles with being a young, female professional in a male dominated sector, how to find common ground with your loved ones who might not agree with you on important issues, and where she sees the future of travel.
