People Leveraging Carbon Markets To Keep Their Land – Stacey Solie, Coproducer of the Documentary "From The Ground Up: Voices From The Carbon Market"

“If you don't tell your stories, then no one will ever know, …Basically I just said, I think we should tell the positive stories and we should do it through the people…Let's actually just go and meet the people at all levels from the people that are involved in the projects and organizing them. Also the people that are participating in them and benefiting from them and find out what they say. How does this change your life? Is this actually happening? Did trees actually get planted? Did this well actually get plugged?."

Who are the regular people on the ground saving their land and helping address climate crisis through carbon markets? Today we're going to hear from one of the producers of a new documentary about them, and be inspired to maybe think a little differently.

 

Listen to Stacey Solie, coproducer of "From The Ground Up: Voices From The Carbon Markets" and founder and CEO of Strategic Story Craft, in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.

 

You’ll hear about:

●        How they found these remarkably normal people doing extraordinarily simple things and benefiting from the carbon markets to save their land.

●        How these carbon market deals work as creative business models

●        How to leverage creativity to reach more people about the climate crisis.

"One thing that I've done is just given myself permission to explore… sometimes saying yes to something for your community that I guess I just learned so much and I met so many people and I got exposed to really amazing artists in ways that are still playing out today. So…being open to exploring… There's different ways to do things. There's a lot of different kinds of people that are trying to make a difference, and they're all intersecting in really creative ways. And I think maybe we can take that model for solutions more broadly. Let's just get creative and work together and try to solve these problems.” Stacey Solie on Electric Ladies Podcast
