Hear from two climate advocates based in smaller towns in Minnesota. What actions are they taking? What methods work best to get traction? What messages resonate?

​

About the Speakers:​

​

Mike Overend lives in an eco-friendly home in the northern town of Grand Rapids, MN. Mike is the president of the new Northern MN New Iron and Clean Energy non-profit based in Duluth, that is focused on supporting decarbonization of industry, primarily through the regional development of green iron and steel. He has been a nearly full-time Climate Action guy for the last 5 years.

​

David Wagman has focused his career writing about the electric power sector. During his time at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado, his work supported broad efforts to promote energy efficiency in large industries.
