The easiest climate change win ever

A video about the OTHER greenhouse gas, and one that CAN do something about quickly. Earlier this year I had the privilege of attending the Methane Action for People & Planet conference in Angera, Italy, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the discovery of methane by Alessandro Volta. In this video I talk about my key takeaways from that conference, and justify eating a cake as a business expense. Sponsored travel provided by Environmental Defense Fund Europe.
