A Grandfather's Pinky Promise: Saving Our Planet with Sailesh Rao

Please join us on August 8, 2024 at 1 pm EST. We are excited to welcome the founder of Climate Healers, Dr. Sailesh Rao! Dr. Rao is the Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers. He is an environmentalist by occupation and a systems engineer by profession, with a Ph. D. from the Information Systems Laboratory (ISL), Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA in 1986. He invented the protocol for transforming early analog internet connections into more robust digital connections, while accelerating their speed ten-fold. Still today, any data accessed on the internet likely passed through a device implementing this protocol. Dr. Rao is also a Human, Earth and Animal Liberation (HEAL) activist, husband, dad and since 2010, a star-struck grandfather. He has promised his granddaughter, Kimaya, that the world will be largely Vegan before she turns 16 in 2026, so that people will stop eating her relatives, the animals. He has faith that humanity will transform to keep his pinky promise to Kimaya, not just for ethical reasons, but also out of sheer ecological necessity. He has created a Climate Bathtub model to help humanity understand the systems solution space for reversing climate change and enabling a thriving planet.
