Soil Health, Regenerative Agriculture and Gen Z's Passion for Climate Advocacy Heather White, who consumer advocate Erin Brockovich calls the "Brené Brown of the environmental movement," is the author of One Green Thing: Discover Your Hidden Power to Help Save the Planet (Harper Collins 2022). Heather's two decades of experience in climate policy and environmental advocacy include serving as a presidential campaign staffer to Al Gore, the environmental counsel to U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, and the executive director of three national environmental nonprofits. She's a frequent spokesperson on climate and environmental issues and has been featured on Good Morning America, CBS, and NBC, and quoted in the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Guardian.

I inherited my passion for taking care of the planet from my dad, Ted Turner, the original Captain Planet. When my siblings and I were children, my father instilled environmental stewardship into us every chance he got. Today, I work with organizations that address urgent challenges affecting our life support system: our air, water, land, food, biodiversity and climate. As chair of the Captain Planet Foundation, I help guide the organization in empowering and engaging youth to become the next generation of environmental stewards through hands-on experiential learning projects. I also serve on the board of the Children & Nature Network, which has the mission of helping all children to grow up realizing the many benefits that exposure to nature provides. I am co-founder and serve as chair of Mothers and Others for Clean Air, which works to improve air quality for at-risk populations, especially children in the Southeast. I serve on the board of Project Drawdown, which focuses on measuring the top scalable solutions to address global warming. And as a Patron of Nature for the International Union of the Conservation of Nature, I work to address the extinction crisis. With my husband, Rutherford, I co-founded the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, which strives to protect Georgia’s drinking water. Along with that, I serve on the board for the Waterkeeper Alliance, which is a consortium of over 300 local Waterkeeper groups worldwide. To leverage and protect important environmental policies that protect the air, water, land and especially climate, I serve as vice chair of the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund. Additional organizations I work with include the Turner Foundation, United Nations Foundation, Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Turner Endangered Species Fund. I am a member of Atlanta Rotary and serve on the Carter Center Board of Councilors and on the advisory board for the Ray C. Anderson Foundation. I live with my husband, Rutherford, in Atlanta. We have three children and live in the first LEED-certified gold residence in the United States.

Eco-anxiety or climate anxiety reflects our worry about the impacts of climate change on the environment and our health, and now the term encompasses a generalized anxiety about the future. Recent surveys show that nearly half of young people say that eco-anxiety interferes with their daily life, and four out of 10 are hesitant to have children of their own because of global warming. But what if these emotions are a message from our future selves? In this TEDx talk, Heather White encourages you to time travel to meet your future self. Her talk helps you tap into these climate emotions and consider them as a call to action to envision a plastic-free future, and to listen, act, and change the conversation from gloom and doom to what’s possible in bold, creative, and beautiful ways. Heather White is the founder of OneGreenThing.org and author of Eco-Anxiety: Saving Our Sanity, Our Kids & Our Future (HarperCollins 2024), 60 Days to a Greener Life (HarperCollins 2024), and One Green Thing (HarperCollins 2022). Heather directed environmental education advocacy at the nation's largest conservation organization, served as executive director to an environmental health watchdog in Washington, DC, and led the nonprofit partner to Yellowstone National Park as President and CEO. Heather worked on Capitol Hill as energy and environment legislative counsel to U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) and a presidential campaign staffer and recount attorney to Vice President Al Gore. She has served as adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Tennessee College of Law.
