Beginning this month, I am featuring a monthly interview with one of our resident environmental advocates in a series we’re calling Digging Deeper. I aim to reveal a bit about what leads these folks toward a career in nature.
Steve Ghan, our local face and voice of Citizens Climate Lobby, is recognizable here as a regular contributor to Tumbleweird. This interview is condensed from a 40-minute conversation.

”My personal mission is to empower as many people as I can to be effective advocates for actual climate change, because I can’t do it alone.”
