In July, 2023, we were honored to participate in the yearly TED Countdown Conference on climate action. It was an excellent opportunity to network with other climate activists, business leaders, scientists and Detroit locals, all leading change in amazing different ways. From listening to thought-provoking presentations to workshops and tours, we learnt, ate, danced and simply enjoyed each other in a company of brilliant ideas.
