Ep. 126: Sustainability Thought Leader Joel Towers

<p>Architect &amp; Professor of Sustainable Design Joel Towers grew up in the suburbs with steady access to New York City. His father taught him to build and repair things, which helped carve his problem-solving neural pathways from a young age. Aware of the tension between humans and nature, a pivotal trip to Alaska set him on a dedicated path to striving for alignment and harmony. An educator at Parsons, he’s outspoken and optimistic about a future that is circular, decolonized, decarbonized, just, and feminist.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://www.cleverpodcast.com/blog/ep-126-joel-towers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Read the show notes here.</a></p><p><br></p><p>Many thanks to this episode’s sponsors:</p><p><br></p><p>Xibit</p><p><a href="http://myxibit.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Xibit</a> lets you swap your artwork or photos out for another picture removing any hardware off the wall.
