@kgmiller_ It’s so true! Setting my intention for tomorrow now - no name tag judging!

[Kathryn Ernst @ CSU @CSUImpactMBADir]

US Sec of Energy @JenGranholm talking about the need for a huge workforce to make the transition to clean energy economy a reality. We are doing our best at @ColoradoStateU! #VERGE22 #CleanEnergy #mba #csuimpactmba

[Kathryn Ernst @ CSU @CSUImpactMBADir]

Mind being blown by these very smart folks explaining the state of carbon removal at #VERGE22. Long short of it: it’s not a tech issue anymore, it’s a financing issue. Many ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere and it’s necessary to reach net zero. #dac #beccs #climatetech

[Kathryn Ernst @ CSU @CSUImpactMBADir]

@kgmiller_ Ha I thought the same! But when the TV rocked on the dresser……. #welcometoCA

[Kathryn Ernst @ CSU @CSUImpactMBADir]

I love a good plan, and @rypan presented a nice simple but comprehensive one to keep us below the 3 degree temp change we are on track for. 6 steps plus 4 accelerants. We can do it! #VERGE22 #speedandscale #okr #netzero

[Kathryn Ernst @ CSU @CSUImpactMBADir]

Here - now! Learning all there is to know about #climatetech and networking with #sustainablebiz friends. Follow along for snippets! #VERGE22

Another gem from @PaulPolman at #greenbiz22: “if we invented waste we can also un-invent waste”. We absolutely can do hard things if we decide to. #wastereduction #sustainability

[Kathryn Ernst @ CSU @CSUImpactMBADir]

At GreenBiz opening sessions and this quote by @PaulPolman struck me: “We should not compete on the future of humanity”. Inspiring call to collaborate to solve the climate crisis. #greenbiz22 #sustainability
