"There are those individual actions that we can take. But if I can work with my community or work inside of my company, or if I can work inside of my house of worship and we can build some community and some action that way, it will have a much bigger impact than anything that I can do as an individual… The communities that they're already a part of, whether they're residential, like in their neighborhoods, or it's the nonprofits that they're a part of, or the places where they have other kinds of communities like religious communities, and start conversations there. What could we do as a community? What could we do as an organization?" Laur Hesse Fisher on Electric Ladies Podcast

Listen to Laur Hesse Fisher of MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative and TIL Climate podcast, in this discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson that aired last year and is more relevant than ever. Laur explains how we can leverage the things we do now, the places we already go, and people we currently talk to and make a difference that way.

• Why voting is so crucial this year – and not for the reasons you might hav
