Renewable and Sustainable: The Inner Environment of Environmental Activism A monthly forum with leaders in the environmental movement, hosted by the Iowa Renewable Energy Association. We talk a lot about how to heal the outer environment. But what about our inner environment? With guests from the community that are champions of sustainability, in all its forms, we explore what are the inner motivations for environmental work. What are some of your own motivations and concerns when you think about sustainability? The environment? Climate change? Social justice? Tune in monthly for a live webcast with our guests, followed by a QandA. All episodes are then uploaded to YouTube and to the major podcast streaming services for later viewing and all posterity.

Tamara is a Ph.D. candidate in the Natural Resources and Earth System Sciences Ph.D. program at the University of New Hampshire. Her research interests include using bioinformatic techniques to understand the impact of warming on microbial mediation of carbon emissions from Arctic lakes. Additionally, she studies how indigenous communities access weather and climate data to better understand how to make results from climate research more accessible and applicable to individuals and communities. Using a combination of survey data and storytelling, Marcus works with Sami communities and indigenous Australians to record environmental change observed by the traditional owners of the land. Through this work, Marcus hopes to promote collaborative development of conservation policy by both scientists and indigenous communities.
