HOST: Gracious viewers, hallo and welcome to today’s Good People, Good 
Works, featuring an interview with Mia MacDonald, the vegan founder and 
executive director of the non-profit organization Brighter Green.
Based
 in New York City, USA, the organization’s dedicated members use their 
wide range of skills and knowledge to help create a better world for 
humans, animals, and our planet.  
Mia MacDonald (f):
 Brighter Green is a public policy 『action tank,』 and it was established
 to look at issues of environment, animals and sustainability, bring 
those together, transform public policy and dialogue about those issues 
globally and locally, with a particular focus on issues of equity and 
rights. 
So when I say 『public policy,』 I mean government 
policies; I also mean the way society views certain issues.  And our 
goal is really to do thinking, so we’re like a think tank, but we call 
ourselves an 『action tank』 because while we’re thinking, we’re also 
doing. 
We’re taking the results of our research, our writing, 
our thinking, some international networking, to transform those into 
actual programs and actual change on the ground.
