Tina Weishaus is on the steering committee of 350NJ, which is part of the Divest NJ Coalition, an alliance of environmental and community organizations that is organizing to get the New Jersey state pension plans to divest from fossil fuel investments. Weishaus spoke with James Boyle, highlighting the broader trends in the fossil fuel divestment movement and the global climate justice movement, along with how she got into climate activism. In addition to her work at 350NJ, Weishaus discussed her leadership at Sustainable Highland Park, which recently implemented a plastic bag ban in the borough. Weishaus noted the challenges that come with both community-based organizing and going up against large institutions like the state government. She also gave advice to listeners looking to start their own environmental initiatives in their communities.
