Her Way Climate hosts a spotlight on Lauren Weston, the Executive Director of Acterra, a Bay Area nonprofit dedicated to bringing people together to create local solutions for a healthy planet. Lauren has nearly two decades of leadership experience in fundraising, philanthropy, and advocacy from several well-regarded education nonprofits including the Breakthrough Collaborative, Hiller Aviation Museum, and the YMCA. In this spotlight, Lauren discusses the core programs of Acterra, ranging from beneficial electrification to their motto of "healthy plate, healthy planet." She also explains Acterra's Theory of Change, which is to compel the wider public to recognize the urgency of the climate crisis and to increase people's willingness to take appropriate actions. This spotlight ends with a guest Q&A.
