Welcome to Communicating Care, a podcast of the Just Transition Collaborative at the University of Colorado Boulder where we talk about the ways environmental and climate justice advocacy are motivated by, express, and foster care. On this podcast we listen more deeply to people who have made headlines for making a difference to learn from their insights for successful creative climate communication behavior change.
I'm the host, Professor Phaedra Pezzullo and, today, our guest is Erica Nuñez, Program Officer of the Plastics Initiative at The Ocean Foundation. Erica worked thirteen years for NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with her last position as an International Affairs Specialist and lead on international marine debris issues. In 2019, she left the federal government and began working for the Ocean Conservancy as part of their Trash Free Seas Program. Now, she leads The Ocean Foundation’s plastics program.
