Inspiring keynotes on sustainable businesses and reversing climate change
Keynote speaker Josh Tickell has been inspiring change since 1997, when he captured global attention by driving a van powered by used French Fry oil across the United States. “The Veggie Van,” as it was called, was a viral sensation. This was only four years after the first web browser was introduced, yet Tickell’s Veggie Van Website received over 1 million visitors!
By 1998, Tickell had published his first book and was touring colleges. College students enthusiastically embraced Tickell’s philosophy of making the world a better place through disruptive technologies, efficiency and common-sense changes to wasteful practices.
Tickell continued his lecture tour de force for a decade – going to over 150 colleges. His journey culminated in 2008 with the release of his first feature film,
FUEL.
It won the Sundance Audience Award for Best Documentary, was shortlisted for an Oscar, was screened in the White House and was released theatrically globally. He followed the movie up with the critically acclaimed, award-winning energy-related films,
The Big Fix
and
PUMP
.
In 2017, Tickell’s long-awaited book
Kiss the Ground: How the Food You Eat Can Reverse Climate Change, Heal Your Body and Ultimately Save the World
was published. It quickly became an Amazon Bestseller in four categories.
Kiss the Ground
details Tickell’s decade-long journey around the world to learn how the effects of climate change can be reversed through regenerating the worlds soils. The companion documentary to the book (also entitled Kiss the Ground) is being executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio!
