Oh hey, it's the guy at the library covertly eating granola out of his hand. I'm Ellie Ward. This is Oligies. This is a podcast. This is April, which means it's the month that we all like to use the globe emoji and the green heart one and get free canvas tote bags from startups.

And in the back of our minds, we like to twitch at the existential naggings of climate change. It's Earth Month. Listen, listen. I get it. This episode is carefully timed to address what to do about the world and what to do that actually works.

What works? We asked about it, we got some answers, and it's not depressing. So this guest is the founder of the nonprofit Planet Reimagined, which is dedicated to climate solutions that have deep impacts. He got his bachelor's at Columbia, a master's at NYU, and a PhD in international human rights law from the University of Birmingham and is now an adjunct professor at Columbia, teaching about climate policy and sustainability.
