“The retention rates on the ads were absolutely off the charts, and so were the click-through rates,” Adam says. “So we sold about 100,000 tickets for our last tour and at the same time planted 100,000 trees.” “My PhD is actually looking at sustainable sites around the world: wind farms, solar farms, hydroelectric plants,” he says. “But so many of these places are actually violating human rights, kicking indigenous people off of their lands, contaminating water supplies. So right now we’re in such a pivotal moment and we need to make sure that we’re fighting for human rights at the same time as we’re going towards a sustainable future.
“A lot of my courses are over Skype anyway,” he says. “It’s actually not very different right now than it normally would be. I write chapters in my dissertation and I submit them. I attend conferences and stuff over Skype. So that, at least, is some kind of consistency, which is nice.” RELATED VIDEO: As People Stay Home in Efforts to Combat The Spread of COVID-19, Animals are Exploring More Brazenly Than Before
