He authored the best-selling book The Conservative Environmentalist and founded the American Conservation Coalition, America’s largest right-leaning environmental advocacy group. He recently launched a new non-profit, called Nature is Nonpartisan, which aims to highlight environmental issues Americans agree on, and build bipartisan coalitions to address them. He has been named to Forbes 30 Under 30 list, among many other accolades. We discuss his vision for a non-partisan environmental movement, and how he and his friends managed to start a successful non-profit while they were still in college.
