Nick Engelfried
Nick is a Justmeans staff writer for the Climate Change and Energy & Emissions categories, with a background working on climate and energy issues both on the ground and online. Nick is particularly interested in the interplay between the written word and the creation of on-the-ground change, which he examined in-depth in his senior thesis while at Pacific University. Since graduating from college Nick has continued to write about environmental and climate issues, and to stay engaged in his community. He is currently involved in efforts to eliminate fossil fuel dependence and implement solutions to climate change in the Pacific Northwest - work that informs and complements his writing for Justmeans.
