Climate Policy Wonk Turned Indie Pop Star: AJR’s Adam Met
Listen now
Description
Adam Met is a behind-the-scenes climate policy powerhouse. He also happens to be the bass player in the award winning indie pop group AJR. During Met’s time away from touring the world and rocking the bass in front of thousands of fans, he and the team at Planet Reimagined, the thought and action tank Met founded, set out on a cross country listening tour in order to better understand how to create bipartisan climate policy. What they came up with is a plan to help renewable energy projects get built on land that has already been approved for fossil fuel projects, thus cutting down on the time and red tape required to get the projects up and running. Met also works with organizations like REVERB to help decarbonize the concert experience.  Guests:  Adam Met, Founder, Planet Reimagined, Bass Player, AJR Lara Seaver, Director of Projects, REVERB For show notes and related links, visit ClimateOne.org.
