In Episode 13 of Green Hearts in Action, we meet Charles Lin, a retired environmental scientist and founder of Impact Net Zero, a volunteer-run initiative helping Canadians understand and take action on our path to a low-carbon future.
Charles breaks down what “net zero” really means, why it's often misunderstood, and how both individual and collective action are essential in shaping meaningful climate solutions. Drawing on his background in both climate science and public service, Charles brings a clear, grounded, and hopeful voice to conversations that can often feel overwhelming.
This episode touches on everything from policy and personal carbon footprints to the power of local conversations, citizen engagement, and simply choosing where we spend our money. If you’ve ever wondered what you can do, this one’s for you.
