Sara is known as an energetic and enthusiastic speaker, and her goal as a Climate Leader is to increase public understanding of climate change and motivate widespread public action to curb its rapid progression.  Linda Reed is a professional corporate trainer and organizational development consultant with over 25 years of experience.  She is also a certified Al Gore trained  Climate Leader with deep commitment to the environment.  She has sparked many audiences to action and looks forward to bringing her expertise to the Climate Reality momentum.
