The Made in Indy podcast welcomes MacArthur Young Innovator award winner & Founder of Carbon Neutral Indiana; Daniel Poynter.

Carbon Neutral Indiana is a startup nonprofit social enterprise. They help households & businesses measure and clean up their carbon footprints by increasing awareness of carbon neutrality, translating that awareness into action, and creating space for that action to become a social norm.

Daniel defines what it means to be 'carbon neutral,' and why it is important for everyone to do their part in reducing their carbon footprint. We dive into what inspired him to take action, and create an enterprise that would empower others to do the same.

Later, Daniel reveals a moment that shifted his life forever. He revisits a conversation that illuminated his desire to organize groups of individuals to create to movements that impact our world in positive ways.
