Rolling up our sleeves & digging in to carbon removal with Michael Leggett of Nori.com
Manage episode 312532730 series 3237246
Michael Leggett was a software designer working for big tech companies like Google and Facebook until the 2016 election spurred him to find a new career tackling the climate crisis. He joined forces with Seattle startup Nori to help build an online marketplace where customers pay farmers to draw CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in the soil. In this episode we chat about what it was like to leave his steady tech job to pursue what he felt called to do, and how he views the role designers play in taking climate action. “There’s so many things designers do that are applicable,” Michael says. “We are storytellers. We are salesmen. These are valuable skills. This is a hard story to tell.” Let’s roll up our sleeves and dig in.
