OB1 Odysseys
A composite image of wildfire devastation and glacial collapse split around Earth, illustrating climate urgency.

Save the Planet with Data

OB1 Odysseys turns eco-tourism travel into short-form PSAs, each one backed by a sourced, data-driven case published in full here. Evidence carries the weight, not rhetoric.

The thesis

We're at a climate inflection point, driven by three converging forces.

Climate urgency

Measurable, visible effects of greenhouse gas emissions: rising temperatures, wildfire severity, drought, ecosystem loss.

Economic shift

Renewable energy is becoming cheaper and more abundant than oil, changing the economics and geopolitics of energy.

Political will gap

The missing piece isn't evidence, it's action. Will lags behind both the science and the economics.

The bet: analytics discipline (clear evidence, clear stakes, clear stories) can close that will gap the way it has historically closed decision-making gaps in enterprise settings. Read the full program thesis →
