43. Smell The Roses (w/Nurit Katz. Part 2)

Nurit Katz is UCLA’s first Chief Sustainability Officer. She also teaches at UCLA Extension’s Sustainability Certificate Program. And she is a first-generation American, a proud daughter of a Serbian-Croatian Israeli immigrant.

In this episode, we talk about how to get people and most important organizations and companies to think and care more about sustainability. And I was pleasantly surprised by Nurits outlook because I have a tendency to get into “all is lost” mode and there is a lot of this doomsday messaging out there and it’s actually nice to hear a professional who while being aware of the challenges has a positive and proactive outlook.
