Unpacking the #1 Global Warming Solution | Danielle Wright | TEDxReImagineScience
What if there was a way to reverse climate change now? And what if grocery stores are the key to making it happen? Taking us through this familiar space, environmentalist and refrigerants expert Danielle Wright uncovers the surprising impacts of refrigerants on global warming and the natural solutions that can achieve dramatic results. Danielle Wright, as Executive Director of the North American Sustainable Refrigeration Councel is tackling the #1 source of greenhouse gas warming for the planet according to the Drawdown list of climate mitigation solutions. Working from the grocery and food retail sector to optimize and reduce overall energy consumption, Danielle, and NASRC, have currently available, tested, and reliable technologies to replace the top emission source of green house gasses – grocery sector refrigeration units. Prior to her role at NASRC, Danielle oversaw the EnergySmart Grocer program, serving the grocery sector in the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) territory. Under her management, the program saved over 100 million kWh from energy efficiency retrofits primarily in refrigeration.
