There once was a woman who lived in a shoe. A size too snug, but what could she do? But that's not where her story ends. Thanks to a little help from her Experian friends, she got her score into much better shape and relocated to a box fresh new place, with room to grow and a mortgage to suit. Now, she lives in a spacious four-bedroom cowboy boots. Better your

Experian credit score to help get mortgage ready. Experian, better your score, better your story.

How will we power our future? Can we create a healthy and clean economy? Climate One at the

Commonwealth Club is at the forefront of the global debate about energy, economy, and the environment.

Please welcome them to Climate One. Welcome to you all.

Shraya, let's start with you. How did you get involved in environmental activism? You're a high school

student. How did it start? Well, basically, I'd known about climate change for the past few years, but I think I really started getting involved with it when I heard Alliance for Climate Education speak at my school about a year ago. Some of them were actually here with us. There's Alicia and Ashel and Emily and Ashley. Their presentation was incredibly inspiring and dynamic.
