“It’s worth it to put in a time to get the credentials. It’s worth it to put in the time to be a resource and learn as much as you can. Practically speaking, experts in sustainability are needed everywhere. It doesn’t matter what the industry, it doesn’t matter what your background; my degrees are not in environmental anything. In fact, my doctorate is in conflict resolution. It’s the idea that we can all work together and we can all contribute.”
