Tish shares her journey into sustainability, inspired by William McDonough, and her work at Generation 180 promoting clean energy solutions. They delve into the organization's programs like 'Electrify Our Schools,' which aims to help schools save and then reinvest their money in addition to teach sustainability by integrating solar energy. The conversation highlights successful solar case studies, the impact of school-based solar projects, and ways community members can advocate for solar energy in their local schools.
