Making videos for Near Zero

Near Zero (nearzero.org) is a nonprofit that aims to increase the frequency and value of dialogue among energy experts and to make this expertise more accessible to those who make and influence energy-related decisions in government, business, and NGOs.

We will be helping Near Zero by producing videos with interviews of energy experts. The first videos we have completed are:
