Bill Brown, a former earth scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey, figured he'd spend his retirement relaxing in New Mexico with his wife, Lisa. Then he became a volunteer presenter for The Climate Project. Brown recently discussed his experience as a presenter with TCP Communications Manager Alex Carey.

Alex Carey: What led you to become interested in the issues surrounding climate change and, more generally, in the environment?
Bill Brown: I have worked professionally on environmental impacts of human activities since the 1960s. The focus of our work in the ‘60s and ‘70s was cleaning up this nation’s waters at a time when many of our major rivers were no more than open sewers. By the early ‘90s, I was working in the emerging science of Industrial Ecology – the science of sustainability – and discovering then that carbon management would be the principal issue of the 21st century.
AC: You're now retired. What did you do before you entered retirement?
BB: I was an earth scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey for 36 years. I led projects throughout the U.S. – primarily in the American West – and in seven other countries. In the later part of my career I worked as a research team manager, researcher on global minerals and energy, budget analyst for the Department of the Interior, and researcher on the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
AC: How did you find out about The Climate Project?
BB: I was the science advisor for a high-profile campaign to protect New Mexico’s spectacular Valle Vidal from being turned into a natural gas factory. Our ultimate and stunning success in gaining an Act of Congress to protect our Valle Vidal was a powerful statement on the deficiencies of U.S. energy policy. The Valle Vidal work prompted people in my community to recommend that I apply to represent our region in The Climate Project....
