152. Are You Voting for the Climate in November? with Kate Gaertner

During October, we are focusing on climate change and climate change policies. While I am not a single-issue voter, aligning who I vote for, no matter the office, with my values is important. As someone who cares deeply about the planet, climate policies greatly influence how I choose to cast my vote.

So, this month, we will be hearing from experts nationwide who specialize in different aspects of climate change action and policies. Be sure to subscribe to our weekly newsletter to stay updated on the latest climate discussion each week this month.

In episode 152 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we kick off our climate month by looking at the intersection of climate policy and everyday life. We discuss why strong climate policies are essential for the future of the United States, touching on their impact on both the environment and the economy.

To help lead this timely discussion, I am excited to introduce Kate Gaertner.

Kate has 25 years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience in corporate sustainability. As the founder and CEO of TripleWin Advisory LLC, she specializes in GHG inventories, TCFD analyses, supply chain mapping, and developing company sustainability roadmaps.

Kate has held roles in digital marketing at XM Satellite Radio and Time Inc., consulted for Fortune 500 companies, founded a sustainable activewear brand, and served as an adjunct professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She is the Board Chair of XXcelerate, supporting women-led businesses, and advises the Loopt Foundation on zero waste goals in manufacturing.

A leading sustainability expert, Kate is a sought-after speaker and opinion writer featured in top publications. She hosts a monthly sustainability column for Portland's Star-News and is the author of "Planting a Seed: 3 Simple Steps to Sustainable Living." Kate holds a Master's in Sustainable Management, an MBA from Wharton, and a degree from Dartmouth College.
