It is a long, tedious process to try to change someone’s behavior. But this is exactly what we need to happen for the climate movement.
But we need to make it as easy as possible. Make that transition simple, or give people enough of a reason to want to make that change.
WeHero is at the forefront of this. Their main question is to ask how they can have people not just volunteer one time, but change their hearts and their minds to say that I not only want to volunteer once, but I want to volunteer again.
Create that transformation that is needed for any movement.
But that is not all that this interview is about with Andy Vandenberg. Because Andy and his business partner create businesses that will create a positive impact on the world.
So they created 2 other businesses as well. CarbonHero and The Impact Job.
CarbonHero gives small businesses a place to understand exactly what their carbon footprint is and how to manage it.
The Impact Job is a community and job board that brings impact jobs to job-seekers looking to make an impact on the world through sustainability, ESG, etc.
So don’t miss out on the full interview with Andy, as this is truly an amazing episode that you don’t want to miss.
