Climate Force: Conversations with Climate Change Leaders from the 21 Acres Campus

"What are you passionate about, and what are you good at? Can you merge those two together?"

When it comes to energy, there's a lot of terms out there--renewable, net zero, and what is LEED certification, anyway? In this episode with 21 Acres Facility Manager Kelly Rankich, we break down the new Washington State Energy Code requirements that help ensure all new buildings take steps to lower their carbon emissions. Kelly, who's working on building her own green home, has read this energy code from front to back so you don't have to. Come explore exciting advancements in technology allowing buildings in Washington State to be more green.

“We live and die by the cover crop."

How does cover cropping affect our farm practice? What do cover crops mean for climate change? In this conversation with Anthony Reyes, Farm Operations Lead at 21 Acres, we talk through common cover crop questions, how the 21 Acres agroecological farm uses cover crops, and even take a walk through the 7 foot stands of rye out in the fields!

This conversation features Anthony Reyes and Becca Jordan.
