In line with Crowdsourcing Sustainability's monthly theme of organizing for climate action in your community, we recently had the pleasure of interviewing Jessyn Farrell! Jessyn brings a unique and helpful perspective to community climate action as she has been involved with it from several different angles - first as an advocate, directing a transportation-focused nonprofit, then as a lawmaker for the state of Washington’s House of Representatives, and now as the Director of Seattle’s Office of Environment and Sustainability. We covered a lot of ground in this interview including: The most effective ways for people to influence local politicians. How policy actually gets written (for better or worse). Advice for anyone running for office. The importance of meeting people where they are, listening, and addressing injustices. A story about the time she prevented fossil fuel lobbyists from destroying a multi-billion dollar bill by hiding in the bathroom… Crowdsourcing Sustainability links: - Sign up for the Crowdsourcing Sustainability newsletter! https://crowdsourcing-sustainability.ck.page/c34a46ed01 - Join the Crowdsourcing Sustainability Community! https://crowdsourcingsustainability.community/ - CS Website: https://crowdsourcingsustainability.org Crowdsourcing Sustainability is a 501c3 nonprofit.

This episode is thanks to the good people over at Brighter Future who recently reached out to interview me (hi, Ryan here 👋) for their Origin Story series which, in their words, is about "highlighting the path that planet-driven leaders walk on their journey to create a Brighter Future". So I had the tables turned on me in this one and had a fun convo with Sandra Gouveia! Figured I’d share it here for those of you who want to hear more about my story and some of the thinking behind Crowdsourcing Sustainability. Hope you enjoy - let me know what you think :) You can find the lightly edited text version of the interview here .

In this episode, we cover the ins and outs of sustainable investing and the impact it has with James Regulinski. James is the Co-Founder of Carbon Collective which is helping people to align their investments with solving climate change! This was a fun one - James has quite the story and brings a refreshing, holistic perspective to investing and why it matters. As I mentioned at the end of the episode, Carbon Collective can help your company to offer sustainable investment options for you and your co-workers. After this recording, Crowdsourcing Sustainability partnered with Carbon Collective as we're aligned on addressing climate change and getting more people to switch to sustainable investing options. Because of this partnership, if your company ends up making the switch to having Carbon Collective as their advisor (and you let them know that you found them through CS!), our nonprofit will get a referral bonus. We see that as a mission-aligned win win win, and, quite frankly, every little bit helps our scrappy nonprofit!

This episode features an all-star panel we spoke with recently about climate-positive banking and investing, and how you can make sure your money is supporting climate solutions rather than climate collapse. We specifically covered: - How your and/or your organization's money is currently supporting fossil fuels through the mainstream banking and investing industry. - What you and your organization can do to change your money's impact, and affect the financial industry overall. - Why it all matters - the difference in impact between the status quo and climate-positive financial solutions so you feel clear about why making the switch is so important.
