In this episode, we sit down with Grant Canary, CEO of Mast Reforestation, to explore how climate tech, biomass burial, and large‑scale reforestation can turn wildfire destruction into long‑term carbon removal.


Grant shares why fixing the atmosphere is “the problem all other problems report to,” and how Mast rebuilds forests faster by burying fire‑killed trees to lock carbon away for thousands of years. We also discuss shrinking natural regeneration rates, the overwhelmed seed supply chain, and what it takes to restore burned landscapes at scale.


If you care about climate solutions, carbon removal, forest restoration, or how innovation can reshape our response to megafires, this episode offers a clear look at the technologies and strategies shaping our planet’s future.


Topics Covered:

• Why natural forest recovery is dropping from 90% to as low as 40%–70% after wildfires

• How biomass burial locks carbon away for thousands of years

• What it takes to rebuild seed and seedling supply chains

• The role of carbon markets in financing large‑scale reforestation

• How Mast went from construction to carbon‑credit issuance in just nine months


Listen in for a hopeful, actionable look at climate innovation and what it will take to restore our forests for the next generation.

In this episode of Fifty Shades of Green, we sit down with Secretary Serena McIlwain of the Maryland Department of the Environment to explore how the state is embedding climate action into its budgeting system and building a government where climate impact is part of every decision.


Secretary McIlwain breaks down how Maryland:

  • Aligns 26 state agencies using a unified climate budgeting framework
  • Tracks more than $3.5 billion in climate‑aligned spending
  • Redirects funding toward resilience, clean energy, and vulnerable communities
  • Leverages partnerships like the Under2 Coalition to mobilize private investment
  • Builds long‑term stability so climate action continues regardless of politics


You’ll hear how Maryland is institutionalizing climate responsibility, building market certainty, and ensuring everyday public investments cut pollution, lower costs, and support communities facing real climate impacts.


If you want a look inside what “next‑generation climate budgeting” really means, and how states can transform ambition into results, this episode is a must‑listen.

  • What a heat pump is and how it works as a highly efficient, two‑in‑one heating and cooling system
  • How electrification lowers energy bills, boosts indoor air quality, and reduces carbon emissions
  • Why 75% of U.S. households could save money by switching to a heat pump
  • Tools Rewiring America offers - including incentives calculators, a personal electrification planner, and a national network of quality contractors
  • How renters can electrify their homes, from portable heat pumps to induction hot plates
  • Why every home is a “unicorn” and what that means for your own electrification journey

Yet, in many public discussions, whether in government halls or business boardrooms, people are shying away from saying the word “climate.” This makes it more difficult to build support for solutions since people won’t see how climate is an everyday issue if we aren’t talking about it every day. Some worry that people aren’t interested, that the issue is too political, or that raising the issue may not resonate. But often the challenge isn’t the topic itself, it’s how we talk about it. 

To connect more effectively, we need to shift the narrative: making it concrete rather than abstract, personal rather than distant, local as well as global, and rooted in real impacts on our families, communities, and economies. In this session live from Climate Week NYC, we will explore the dangers of climate hushing, empower leaders and organizations to speak up, and equip audiences to communicate about climate in ways that truly engage and inspire action. 

The session aims to answer: 

  • What is driving the increase in climate hushing  

  • What does the data say about whether you should say the word “climate?" 

  • How to make climate a winning issue and boost public demand for climate solutions 

 

This session is hosted by the Potential Energy Coalition.
