Quantum Quote: \u201cCharacter is destiny.\u201d \u2013 Greek Philosopher Heraclitus

\xa0

We are all contributors to carbon emissions. Moving to clean energy technologies can reduce the emissions that are responsible for 90% of greenhouse gases.

\xa0

But even if we completely stop emitting greenhouse gases today, we would still suffer extreme weather and other impacts from the current amounts of carbon that were dumped into the air since the dawn of the industrial revolution.\xa0

\xa0

How can we effectively and cost-efficiently go \u201ccarbon negative\u201d - and remove carbon out of the atmosphere?\xa0

\xa0

How can we monetize carbon removal and create new value streams for the most cost-effective solutions?

\xa0

Regenerative agriculture can create climate solutions that take us into a safer & more sustainable world.\xa0

SuperNova #1. \u201cCompanies are increasingly looking not only to offset ongoing emissions, but to offset past emissions-\xa0 to go carbon negative. I can't think of any better place to go than American farmers to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.\u201d\xa0 \u2013 Nicole Lederer

\xa0

SuperNova #2. \u201cI have learned one thing above all else\xa0 in this work that I\u2019ve done with so many partners, and that is \u2018never assume that the person who is supposed to be your enemy is your enemy\u2019. There is a way forward to find common ground with others in almost all cases. If you don\u2019t work hard to find the common ground, you\u2019re leaving a major opportunity on the table\u2026 Nobody gets anything done by themselves.\u201d \u2013 Nicole Lederer

\xa0

SuperNova #3. \u201cWhen you can find common ground with the traditional adversary, that\u2019s gold, and you need to stay on that until you find a way forward with them. It\u2019s not like everybody\u2019s going to be your most valuable ally, but a lot more of them could be a more valuable ally than what you have ever thought from what people told you.\u201d \u2013 Nicole Lederer\xa0

\xa0

SuperNova #4. \u201cJust pay attention to what you care about\u2026 I care about nature. I care about the natural world. I have always felt that it was the bottom line of life.\u201d \u2013 Nicole Lederer

\xa0

SuperNova #5.\xa0 \u201cThe idea that we can look to traditional opponents for expertise and guidance on how to find a path forward has informed everything I have done. It led me to recognize opportunities that I wouldn't have recognized otherwise. For example, jumping in with both feet to celebrate, amplify, and support the department of defense's climate and clean energy initiatives, which led to years of very beneficial collaboration and progress on issues that concern everyone.\u201d \u2013 Nicole Lederer

Aha! Moment: The founding of E2 was when the traditional enmity between environmentalists and business leaders was realized to be bogus, and it was all getting everybody nowhere. The idea that we can look to traditional opponents for expertise and guidelines on how to find a path forward has informed everything Nicole has done since then, and led her to recognize opportunities that wouldn\u2019t have been there otherwise.

Best Advice she\u2019s ever received: \u201cDon\u2019t buy the question. Just because they asked you something doesn\u2019t mean that you have to answer what they asked right away.\u201d

\xa0

Personal Habit that Contributes to Success: \u201cPerseverance. I will keep coming at you until some personal resolution is achieved. I won\u2019t get tired. Nothing happens overnight.\u201d \u2013 Nicole Lederer

WTF: The sun never rose in the bay area; instead, it was a blood-red sky that lasted for hours until the sun set. There was just a dome around the bay area, with the color just staying at dark red.

\xa0

Most Energized about today: It is the fact that we have a federal government that is reality and science-based who takes the challenges we\u2019re facing seriously and doesn\u2019t attempt to tell lies about them.

\xa0

Parting Advice: \u201cI encourage everyone to recognize that policy is extremely important to the evolution and outlook of their businesses, that they should not leave it to others, that they should get involved, and that they can use E2 as a platform to do that.\u201d \u2013 Nicole Lederer
