New York Times reporter Tatiana Schlossberg speaks with Climate One host Greg Dalton about her book, “Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.”

Everyday choices may have a larger impact on the environment and climate change than many of us realize. Schlossberg and four other experts explore the fashion and energy industries, two sectors of the economy with a big climate footprint.

How far can individual actions take us? What role can the companies themselves play?

Greg Dalton is the host of the Commonwealth Club of California’s “Climate One” series. Tatiana Schlossberg covers climate change for the New York Times.
