E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily is building science, architecture, and female entrepreneurship. Season 3 - On today’s episode of E3 I learned a little bit more about a climate policy and a website that helps us to evaluate what certain policies will do to effect climate change. Today’s episode covers Carbon Fee and Dividends - or “Carbon Cash Back” and the EnRoads website. See show notes for links, and when you get to the part that takes a visual break, click on the video link which will show a brief EnRoads tour. Enjoy! ~ Emily
Show Notes:
Making the best of your Carbon Fee and Dividend presentations using the EN-ROADS Climate Simulator:
The EN-ROADS Climate Simulator is a powerful tool which when used properly communicates how carbon pricing is an essential component of any successful climate policy. It provides third party verification in the effectiveness of carbon pricing and allows audiences to explore and compare possible climate policies in a way that is both educational and fun. Learn how EN-ROADS can improve your presentations and enhance your effectiveness as a climate advocate.
"If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don't bother trying to teach them. Instead give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking" - Buckminster Fuller
