Hope is a Renewable Resource: Fighting Fossil Fuel Narratives with Christa Avampato

Art Heals All Wounds

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Christa Avampato, a storyteller, climate activist, and a beacon of hope in New York City. Christa shares her journey of resilience, from growing up on an apple farm amidst adversity to becoming a fervent advocate for environmental protection. As a biomimicry scientist and business expert, she's dedicated to reshaping the way we think about sustainability and human design. Christa's optimistic outlook on healing—both personally, having survived cancer, and globally, through climate action—offers a refreshing perspective on the collective responsibility we all share for our planet's future. Join us as we explore her insights on the need for kindness in urban settings, the urgency of transitioning to clean energy, and her inspiring plans for fostering environmental restoration and community engagement.
