As daughter to Ted Turner, being an activist for good and environmentally conscious is in Laura Turner Seydel’s DNA. “I am passionate about the health, quality of life and future of our children.”
An introduction…
I work to protect and restore the systems that support life on Earth for children and future generations — our air, water, land and a stable climate.
As a recent Climate Reality trainee and a fan of Dr. George Luber, the director of the Climate Change and Health program at the CDC, I believe that global warming or what some people are calling climate disruption are the biggest immediate threat to our children – that is besides the threat of nuclear weapons. I am on a mission to advocate for and promote solutions to address global warming because we have about 12 years, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent. This is according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s report from September 2018. Can we move to a 100 percent clean-energy economy? Yes, indeed we can. The solutions are available. We just need to scale them!
What you do, in your own terms?
I am passionate about the health, quality of life and future of our children. Our kids expect for us to be good stewards and hand over a livable planet with a stable climate. So far, we have not done enough to meet their expectations. I spend my time working with nonprofit organizations that are leading on environmental issues. I also use my platform to inspire, educate, motivate and activate anyway possible.
