Shannon Lisa, Program Director for the Edison Wetlands Association, investigates chemical contaminant dumping. Motivated by growing up in a contaminated state, she protects human health and the environment through "environmental detective work."

In Franklin, Indiana, Shannon uncovered a decades-old toxic cold case. After children fell ill, she analyzed over 40,000 hidden EPA documents, revealing a mismanaged industrial site and homes potentially invaded by poison gases like TCE. She coordinated residential air testing, finding toxins 18x over state thresholds, prompting a reopened EPA investigation.

Shannon continues to advocate for permanent cleanup in Franklin and national change against industrial pollution. broweryouthawards.org. Film by Storyline Media.

David Giuliani, a Northwest serial entrepreneur and inventor, champions applying entrepreneurial zeal to state-level climate change and carbon reduction. An electrical engineer, he designed early LED products and secured numerous medical patents. He co-invented and led Sonicare, selling it to Philips, and later co-invented Clarisonic, sold to L'Oreal. He received national Small Business Person and Entrepreneur of the Year awards.

Now, Giuliani applies his talents to societal improvement. With Howard Behar, he founded the Washington Business Alliance, which launched the Low Carbon Prosperity Institute to reframe climate issues as "win-win." This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Jay Inslee uniquely prioritized climate change in the 2020 presidential race, a focus now amplified by the Green New Deal and rising voter awareness. As constituents feel global warming's effects, Republicans increasingly acknowledge the issue, with former Representatives Ryan Costello and Carlos Curbelo highlighting its growing importance.

However, Christine Pelosi of the DNC notes that for some frontline communities, immediate economic concerns can overshadow long-term climate threats. Despite political risks, there's a growing call to prioritize climate solutions over political careers. #letstalkclimate Learn more at climateone.org.
