RNG Coalition: Bridging Knowledge Gaps In Renewable Natural Gas
Changing someone’s mind is a difficult thing to do. Most people know what they know, and their long-held opinions are entrenched by life experiences, education, and popular culture. Add in the impact of social media, which serves as an echo chamber for our pre-existing beliefs, and it’s perhaps never been harder to convince people that what they know just isn’t so.
It is for this reason that direct engagement with the “other side” of a debate has never been more important. RNG Coalition’s communications staff recently sponsored and attended the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) annual conference in Philadelphia. The annual SEJ conference brings together climate journalists and environmental justice advocates from across the country — providing us with a chance to closely engage with folks who have diverse ideas about how best to decarbonize our society.
