April 20: A Cost-Effective Green Future
As people around the world work to build healthier, sustainable societies, one key issue remains constant: developing solutions that are not only environmentally friendly but also financially viable. What are the most important technological breakthroughs that help us efficiently achieve better quality of life? What are the most important investments we can make today to improve air quality? What are the most important investments we can make to reduce energy consumption or improve the mix of energy sources to reduce the burden on the environment?
On the next UW Now Livestream, experts will discuss how theyâre working to build a more sustainable future. The talk will be moderated by Mike Knetter, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association.
Science Moms Help Other Moms Tackle Climate Change
Unmute
MADISON (WKOW) - The group is hoping to give moms the resources to not only talk but fight climate change.
Founded within the last five years, the group consists of eight climate scientists located across the United States; one scientist teaches at Texas Tech University while another teaches at Colorado State. Another scientist teaches at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Her name is Tracey Holloway.
A math major originally, Holloway says she switched her career to study the atmosphere and the environment after looking at the atmosphere through a mathematic lens. Nearly two decades later, Holloway is teaching at both the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and the Department of Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.
