VISION
There is a major need for translation of climate jargon into simple, repeatable action. I so appreciate that the knowledge base and technical language around emissions solutions has evolved. This means experts are advancing the ball and leaving no stone unturned. Unfortunately, it has created a gap in understanding between the researchers and consultants and the normies. We need groups like EWC to take expert lingo and make it actionable
