HOST: Gracious viewers, hallo and welcome to today’s Good People, Good
Works, featuring an interview with Mia MacDonald, the vegan founder and
executive director of the non-profit organization Brighter Green.
Based
in New York City, USA, the organization’s dedicated members use their
wide range of skills and knowledge to help create a better world for
humans, animals, and our planet.
Mia MacDonald (f):
Brighter Green is a public policy 『action tank,』 and it was established
to look at issues of environment, animals and sustainability, bring
those together, transform public policy and dialogue about those issues
globally and locally, with a particular focus on issues of equity and
rights.
So when I say 『public policy,』 I mean government
policies; I also mean the way society views certain issues. And our
goal is really to do thinking, so we’re like a think tank, but we call
ourselves an 『action tank』 because while we’re thinking, we’re also
doing.
We’re taking the results of our research, our writing,
our thinking, some international networking, to transform those into
actual programs and actual change on the ground.
