The CREATE Connections podcast centers on the idea that no matter what roles you hold - elected official, parent, volunteer, student, or other - you are a crucial part of climate action in your community. We are all impacted by climate change and other environmental hazards, and we all have strengths and resources we can bring to make our community more resilient.
We will “CREATE Connections” as we interview a variety of guests to explore how they have found their place in the network of people and organizations working to build healthy, sustainable, resilient, people-centered places to live and work. Along the way, we will highlight opportunities for listeners to take action and form new connections throughout our region!
Episode 3 features Brandon Sullivan, City of Easton Sustainability Coordinator, Sarah DeGrendel, City of Bethlehem Sustainability Manager, and Veronika Vostinak, City of Allentown Sustainability Coordinator. All three were hired in the last couple of years to oversee their city’s sustainability efforts and serve as liaisons between the many different people in city government and in the community working on local environmental issues. We talk about their priorities for the next few years, recent successes, and how residents can get involved with sustainability efforts in their city.
