Most of the time, the headlines are full of bad news. That’s especially true of environmental headlines. But Susan Solomon of MIT says we have a track record of environmental success stories that deserve more attention.

Solomon is MIT’s Lee and Geraldine Martin Professor of Environmental Studies and is internationally recognized as a leader in atmospheric science, particularly for her insights in explaining the cause of the Antarctic ozone hole.

Listen to her interview with LivingLab Radio/WGBH, as part of “Optimism About Tough Problems.”

Susan Solomon will be speaking at the New England Aquarium on Thursday, October 26 at 7:00 PM.
