Business Leader Becomes Climate Activist Due To Frustration With Inaction By Politicians
Originally published on The Climate Reality Project.
“I was frankly mad because the science is clear.”
Do you ever get angry about how slowly world leaders have reacted to the climate crisis? We do, too. And so does Wei-Tai Kwok, who quit his position as a high-powered advertising executive to do something about it.
“I was frankly mad because the science is clear,” he said. “Yet, there was really no action happening in our leadership.”
He knew this had to change – and fast. The planet is counting on us.
Wei-Tai changed careers to focus on finding climate solutions. Now, he’s heading up operations at a leading manufacturer of energy storage solutions – all while being a proud Climate Reality Leader.
After Wei-Tai attended our Climate Reality Leadership Corps training, he set a goal of reaching 1,000 people with the truth about the climate crisis. Within a year, he surpassed that goal – and he hasn’t slowed down since. To date, he’s spoken at over 60 events, spreading the truth about climate change to over 2,000 people in his community alone.
