We just dropped our latest video interview — one you’ll surely want to watch.
For several decades, as director of New Jersey’s Sierra Club chapter, Jeff Tittel scored headline after headline as his environmental organization won a series of significant victories, including the preservation of the state’s vast Highlands area.
In this interview, Jeff recalls how summers at a nature camp as a kid developed his appreciation for nature, and how his parents — both avid hikers — took him along to protest a plan that would have damaged a mountain in neighboring New York state. By high school, Jeff was organizing cleanups and opposing a highway through a forest in Union County, NJ.
We asked him about the method he used to lobby legislators, how he got the media to draw attention to his causes, and why they were so successful.
Many will be surprised to hear Jeff discuss his current disenchantment with the direction of environmental activism, and shocked as he unloads on the state’s Democratic governor and his top environmental regulator.
Also, view our conversation with solar expert Lyle Rawlings, who says he’s uncovered troubling factors behind New Jersey’s soaring electric utility rates.
