“We are proud the film spotlights innovative solutions and leaders — including Chris Castro, Director of Sustainability in Orlando, FL,” said executive producer Katherine Oliver.

“He, under the guidance of Mayor Dyer there, is working hard to implement innovative solutions to address the challenges of climate change and Orlando’s climate leadership serves as a model for other cities in Florida, and across the country, to take note of.

“Regardless of your position on climate change, Chris and his team show that there is more opportunity to be gained — specifically with regard to public health and our economy — when sustainable actions are taken,” she added.
