Get to know housing advocate and Sierra Club leader Igor Tregub in this conversation with chapter chair Olga Bolotina. Igor talks about how his childhood moves from Kiev to Israel to Germany to the United States provides the motivation underlying his work for housing justice. Hear him describe formative environmental experiences — picking mushrooms in the forest, enjoying food grown on his family's dacha, and counting bats by a river in Germany. Speaking in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, Igor notes: "What sounded radical a few weeks ago now just sounds like good common sense."   In his day job, Igor is an engineer with global experience on safety and nonproliferation matters. He is also an elected Commissioner on the Berkeley Rent Board; and immediate past Chair of the City of Berkeley's Zoning Adjustments Board and Housing Advisory Commission. He is the immediate past chair of the SF Bay chapter, current chair of the Sierra Club Northern Alameda County Group, and member of the Chapter and State Executive Committees.   Originally aired on May 8, 2020.   The weekly #InTheKnow series will introduce you to the people behind the Clubs policies and messages. What drives them, what keeps them up at night, and what can we learn from and about them that will inspire us in our own life and work?   Join Chapter Chair Olga Bolotina on Facebook Live (www.facebook.com/SierraClubSFBayChapter) each Friday at noon for a new 'In the Know' interview with Sierra Club volunteers, staff, and other environmental leaders.
