“Yeah, it is what you're feeding the cows. It's the fact that you are slashing down forest to graze the cows. So if you're a large food company, your footprint collectively around the supply chain of all of these goods is about 90% of your overall company footprint. So, if you're a large food company, the best thing that you can do is to look at that 90% coming from your supply chain and look for ways to make smart trades and swaps to reduce the impact. For example, you might choose renewable energy at one of your manufacturing processes. You might switch from a conventional ingredient to an organic ingredient. We did this with one food company and they were able to reduce their emissions just by making smart swaps in their supply chain by 30%. Wow. Which is a huge number when you think about how much we need to reduce and how quickly.”

“Right. So, as you know, climate change is caused primarily by an excess of greenhouse gas emissions coming from just about every part of life, what we eat, what we wear, how we travel, AI. But what is true is that we can actually reduce the greenhouse gases emissions related to all of those things. And we call that decarbonization. It is the opposite. Of emitting too much greenhouse gas. It is the act of reducing the greenhouse gases that are emitted by all of our daily activity.”

“Absolutely. So Planet Forward was founded with a really simple mission, which was to tackle climate change by decarbonizing the global greenhouse gas emissions that come from our consumer product.”

“And I think once I realized that, I started to also have a better mindset because I thought being different is actually my superpower. And I stopped second guessing myself as soon as I stopped trying to pattern match on other people's success.”

“When I first came to Silicon Valley, it was very clear that I was a fish out of water on many levels. I showed up in like Diane von Furstenberg dresses when everyone else was wearing hoodies, but of course also I was this sort of very feminine presenting woman and black woman. When I first got to Silicon Valley, I really tried to pattern match. I tried to listen to the podcast other people listened to. I tried to emulate them. It was a total failure. It didn't work in any way.”
