One of the key areas that POW focuses on is renewable energy. Why do you think that moving to clean power is such an important aspect of fighting the climate crisis?
So at POW we talk about the need for systemic changes – big changes to society, not just individual adjustments to our ways of living. Personal lifestyle choices are really important – reducing your meat consumption, for example, is a really good place to start. But to really curb our global emissions, we need to make the systems we use in our everyday lives more environmentally friendly. Energy is one of those systems that has a huge impact.
We agree. Do you think with more people working from home recently, our reliance on energy has become more apparent?
Absolutely. As tragic as it has been, coronavirus has actually highlighted some interesting things. We’ve seen the world be placed into lockdown – international aviation was halted, people had to stay at home, no-one was commuting to work, global economies essentially shut down.
