As the holiday season approaches, we’ve taken a step back to reflect on what we’re grateful for this year. Whether we are saying thanks for friends and family, or game-changing discoveries in climate change, we have a lot to celebrate.

 

Amanda Cunningham, Senior Project Manager: I am grateful for the sunshine and amazing weather I had while camping on Assateague Island. Beautiful sunrise + walk on the beach = perfect morning.

 

 

 

 

Nash Emrich, Senior Consultant: I’m grateful for the love and support I receive from my fiancé, family, friends, colleagues, and company. I’m fortunate to have this opportunity to help make the world happier and healthier.

Renee Gastineau, Client Development Manager: I am grateful for scholars and researchers, like William D. Nordhaus and Paul M. Romer, the 2018 Nobel Prize winners in economics who encourage fact-based solutions to climate change and collaboration among governments and business.

 

 

 

 

Brad Greeff, Senior Commissioning  Consultant: I’m grateful for heating and air-conditioning. It’s wonderful to come back to a comfortable home each night, and it’s very easy to take it for granted!

Kelly Ryan, Sustainability Analyst: I’m grateful for the leaders who continue to raise the bar on climate change action despite the current political situation.
