Erika Rodriguez joins us to share the moment a Category 4 storm in Fiji pulled her into climate action—and how that experience helped spark San Diego Climate Week. We dig into what it takes to build a city-wide movement, how she measures success beyond a single week, and why her long-term hope is that someday, we won’t need a “Climate Week” at all! Tune in to hear why.Recorded live in the barn at Coastal Roots Farm in Encinitas during the inaugural San Diego Climate Week.CREDITS Guests: Erika RodriguezHosts: Molly Saruwatari & Saturn Salama   Producers: Elden Cadena and Saturn Salama Editor: Elden Cadena Research: Molly Saruwatari & Saturn SalamaScript: Molly Saruwatari & Saturn SalamaSocial Media: Molly SaruwatariMusic: Marios Panousos Faculty Advisor: Anne Dabb Climate to Action: A CSUSM Student Podcast is an initiative of the CSUSM Climate Action and Sustainability Center.
