Confessions of a Climate Activist:
Clean Energy Alone Can No Longer Save Us. We Need to Study Sunlight Reflection

with Mike Tidwell, Author of The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue and founder of CCAN

Mike Tidwell has spent nearly 25 years as a grassroots climate activist, pushing for clean energy solutions to global warming in the Mid Atlantic region and on Capitol Hill. But the stubbornly slow conversion to renewable energy, combined with alarming new spikes in global temperatures, have convinced him that light reflection methods must be studied and tested across the planet. Tidwell's new book, The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue, chronicles his conversion from mainstream activist to solar reflection "curious" as he watched the dramatic impacts of climate change descend on his one street in Maryland over the past few years.
