In the fight to ensure we maintain livable conditions on this planet, carbon gets most of the spotlight, however water is the key ingredient that enables life on this beautiful world. And yet, according to the World Health Organization, 2 BILLION people don’t have access to clean drinking water at their home. We’ve covered this topic in light detail with Andrea Johnson of Green Empowerment, but today on the show, I’m speaking with Neil Grimmer about water and how ensuring every person has access to clean water is a massive part of a net zero future.

Imagine you live in a desert, off the grid, and not connected to a public source of water. Instead of walking or driving miles to the neatest water source, you can use Hydropanels, to collect water out of the air right outside your house. This is one of Source Global’s many projects, and the one we’re going to talk about with Neil.

As co-founder and CEO of Plum Organics, Neil built one of the fastest-growing organic food brands in the U.S. and revolutionized a dormant and commoditized category. In 2013, he sold PlumOrganics to Campbell Soup Company, where he served as a senior executive for more than five years.
