One of our OG's makes her return to the "EcoRight Speaks" this week since she was on the very first episode of the show back in 2020. Mary Anna Mancuso, a native of Florida and member of our EcoRight Leadership Council, is a member of our EcoRight Leadership Council and she's been on quite a roll with a series of national and local op-eds published in May. 

Based in West Palm Beach, Mancuso reunites with host Chelsea Henderson this week to talk about the secret sauce in writing her op-eds, the variety in her pieces, how she comes up with different narratives/topics and how she balances submitting between Florida-based pieces and those with a national flavor. Catch another fantastic interview with another one of our favorite EcoRight rock stars who is doing BIG things!

You've heard a few of our past guests mention him recently and it's time we welcomed Climate Interactive Executive Director and Co-Founder Andrew Jones to the EcoRight Speaks! Jones created the popular interactive, online tool En-ROADS, allowing anyone to explore and see the long-term effects of global climate policies. 

En-ROADS is a free simulator used by policymakers, educators, businesses, the media, and the public with the ability to test cross-sector climate solutions while factoring in hunters of variables like energy prices, temperature, air quality and sea-level rise. 

Jones details where the idea for En-ROADS came from and how an interactive tool is more effective because "research shows that showing people research doesn't work," a premise coined by a fellow MIT Sloan colleague. This tool is used to help improve people's "mental models" in actionable ways versus laying out pages of data and research. 

Dr. Edward Maibach shares an example of how a doctor talked more about climate change in the exam room, which made a difference to patients. Catch the entire episode or past episodes of the podcast right here!
