Hear a complete interview with Mike Tidwell, Director and Founder of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. The interview is part of an unfolding collection of stories from prominent environmentalists in the state of Maryland, recorded in 2019, and supported by the Town Creek Foundation.
In this conversation, conducted by Eve Austin in collaboration with the Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture, Mike talks about how he left his successful career as a sought-after writer to combat climate change. "I had a gnawing understanding of what was happening," he admits. Mike talks about wind energy, finding real solutions, and the legacy he's leaving for his children. "We have pushed this planet outside its comfort zone . . . demand energy and social reform!" This interview is a must-listen for anyone interested in making a difference.
