Episode 5: Lucy Biggers, NowThis
Small Act of Green Rebellion: Make green news go viral. Lucy Biggers started out her career as a video producer at NowThis covering stories like Standing Rock and micro plastics in your face wash. What started as an interest in technology and following the stories of passionate players in the sustainability field has turned into a full-on environmental niche for Lucy. Her Standing Rock videos have collected over 9 million views and President Obama mentioned that media attention is one of the reasons why he blocked the pipeline. It seems that viral videos and sharing stories online can actually make a difference. We encourage everyone to go out and exercise their right to vote. -- Season 3 of Trash Talking with Eco-Warriors is sponsored by Plaine Products.
