#29 David Havelick: How Harvard (And You) Can Combat Climate Change


Listen Later

David Havelick is a Senior Sustainability Manager at Harvard, focused on overseeing the university's climate impact. 

While there are a bunch of different areas for improvement, David is especially committed to Harvard's climate impact through food. He helped champion Harvard joining the Cool Food Pledge which is a commitment to reducing the school's green house gas emissions from food by 25% by 2030 - an effort we connected over.

In this one we talk about how you and I can be more environmentally friendly - and the answer isn't a reusable water bottle or recycling. His answer actually might surprise you by focusing more on groups and less on individual responsibility. 

Then we dial in on food. Since it's a top contributor to global climate change, what can be done? How's Harvard thinking about this issue? 

Then we wrap up with learning more about David and especially his journey towards acting in alignment with his values - particularly with his food choices as someone who avoids animal based products for moral and environmental reasons.
