About

Joseph Pallant, the Director of Climate Innovation for EcoTrust Canada speaks with us about all things climate change. We talk about his path to working in the climate change field and his work with carbon offsets and how we can purchase smart offsets. Here are some links to the ones he mentioned:Verified Carbon StandardsGold StandardClimate Neutral NowThen we get into all that he does with EcoTrust Canada and his mission to put the Paris Agreement on the blockchain with the aha moment that started it all. We talk extensively about blockchain and how it works using Cryptokitties as an example. Joseph believes that we absolutely have the tools and ability to beat climate change and he addresses the issue with many examples and with the lenz that we are all one, simply by sharing the same atmosphere. Because of his extensive experience working with carbon offsets and climate change, he has attended many of the Conference of the Parties (COP) and the Paris Climate Conference Agreement so I asked him to share with us what it’s like to be at these events. Finally we wrap up with some surprising but hugely impactful ways that individuals not working in the environmental or sustainability fields, can beat climate change. He lists quite a few actions to take and they’re not your typical recycle, bring your own bags, or do a beach cleanup. Joseph promotes individual engagement from a place of self engagement with love, courage, and ambition. If you enjoy this episode please rate, review and share with friends or to your social media.
