Summary: 

In this episode, Everyday Climate Champion Podcast co-hosts Dalya Massachi, Sean Mendelson, and Ellisa Feinstein reflect on what they’ve learned in their many conversations with community members here in the San Francisco Bay Area. They explore what has been most memorable for them and what drives them to do this work to create a “homegrown supplement to the mainstream climate news.” We also hear from some of our listeners, sharing what they find most inspiring and educational – and how the podcast helps them discover new ways they can take climate action in their own communities.
