This week we hear from Tom Green, the CEO and co-founder of Vesta, a public benefit company harnessing the power of the ocean to turn shoreline protection carbon-negative. Tom talks about his background in biological science and business, and how he applies his wealth of knowledge to the global challenge of climate change. Vesta’s fascinating technology speeds up the natural process of coastal carbon capture by grinding the mineral olivine into sand and adding it to coastal areas. The sand dissolves in seawater, adding alkalinity and reducing ocean acidity, an added benefit to marine life. Vesta joins forces with coastal communities in the fight against climate change. Learn more about their approach and research at www.vesta.earth.
