Greg Shapiro Premieres His ‘ClimateGoodNews’ Show
12 October, 2023
The premiere was a success!
‘GREG SHAPIRO SAVES THE CLIMATE: 60 Minutes of Climate Good News’ at De Nieuwe Anita in Amsterdam. Next up come shows in Utrecht, Haarlem, Nijmegen & more…
Based on a True Story
My day job involves speaking and hosting at corporate events – increasingly for Dutch green startups and leaders in sustainability. Inspiring stuff, actually. So I thought: “why not make a show about it? With d**k jokes.”
So far I’ve got funny stories and inspiration to share about events for:
- Boskalis Offshore Wind Energy
- HZI Waste-to-Energy Power Plants
- The European Sleeper Overnight Train (sustainable alternative to short-haul flights)
- Kipster Sustainable Chicken Farm
- Mosa Meat Lab-grown hamburger
- NRC “How Green Are We” Survey
- TU Delft Energy Transition event
- TU Eindhoven Pitch Coaching for Green Startups
- WUR Wageningen Food X – the food of the future
- Koppert Agriculture – the Future of Farming
And I was even hired by a company called New Motion to standardize EV charging stations in Europe. But then I was fired – because apparently the startup had been bought out by Shell Oil, and Shell “wanted to move in a different direction.” …specifically BACKWARDS.
The show is so satisfying to do!

The Reviews
“Important and Inspiring.”
“Climate news stories making you realise it’s not all bad. Amusing and uplifting.”
“Climate theme is great. Also the ‘look out for greenwashing’ angle. Appeals to the sceptic in me.”
The opening was part of the Nutty Anita’s Solo Nights, at De Nieuwe Anita in Amsterdam. And it was a nicely full house. Thanks to Amsterdam’s ‘Maestro of the underground’ Ken Parsons for producing. And thanks to Amsterdam’s Maeva Dolle for being the opening act. Her solo hour is well underway.
