あらすじ・解説
We are halfway through our first climate month on the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, and in episode 154, we explore the intersection of outdoor advocacy and climate action. To me, loving the outdoors means more than just enjoying nature– it means standing up for it in all aspects of my life. In a polarizing political climate, it can be difficult to know how to use your voice and if it will be heard at all. But that’s why we’re discussing how outdoor enthusiasts can amplify their voices in policy discussion and why action across all levels of government is necessary for achieving climate solutions. The outdoor industry can step up its role in climate advocacy. And whether you’re a seasoned activist or just starting out, my guest, Bill Barron, provides actionable steps to engage in the climate movement because, after all, we are all in this to create a better outdoor space as we recreate. Bill Barron an Alta ski patroller of 24 years, has blended his passion for the outdoors with advocating for meaningful bi-partisan action on climate change- including 5 climate advocacy bike tours. Bill is a three time single-issue federal climate candidate, founded the first Utah Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) Chapter in Salt Lake City 2010, and has been the Mountain West Regional Director for CCL since 2013 covering MT, WY, UT, CO, NM, AZ and NV. Citizens' Climate Lobby- is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy climate change organization with 231K volunteers organized into over 375 chapters around the country, focused on national policies to address the national and global climate crisis. Our consistently respectful, nonpartisan approach to climate education is designed to create a broad, sustainable foundation to drive climate action across all geographic regions and political inclinations. By building upon shared values rather than partisan divides, and empowering individuals to work in keeping with the concerns of their local communities, we advocate for the adoption of fair, effective, and sustainable climate change solutions.
