Summary

Katie Patrick is an environmental engineer and software designer dedicated to helping people use real scientific data to change the world. Instead of laying on the beach, brainstorming ideas on how we can stop global warming, Katie teaches us that there is in fact a better, more effective approach which is driven by research and behavior changing techniques that all of us can implement. We've all dreamed of a better world, it's time to revive those dreams and act upon them.

0:00.0	You want to be able to imagine the future world instead of being like
0:03.4	Paul B's dying we're all gonna die. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,
0:07.3	everything's terrible you drove a car you're a really bad person because you drove a car
0:10.8	and you just ate a hamburger like oh my God you
0:13.3	ate a hamburger I am never going to be your friend again you know it's a lot of like
0:17.4	people can get in that mindset you want to move out of that and start imagining 800 years what world do you want?
