“Yes 90% of climate news is bad. But if you ignore the 10% that’s good, you’ll go 100% crazy.”
- Greg Shapiro
What if we already have all the tools we need to mitigate climate change? Comedian Greg Shapiro shares an hour full of uplifting technologies that already exist - and unbridled outrage that they’re not being scaled up yet.

Greg Shapiro is known as the voice of Trump in the viral video ‘Netherlands Second’ - which was wildly popular, even with Trump fans. Now it’s time for Greg to do something more positive for humanity. These days Shapiro gets recognized more and more often as Bill Nye the Science Guy. So he figures he might as well start acting the part.

Since Greg’s day job involves speaking and hosting for green innovations, he shares insights into Dutch initiatives like: solar-powered cars; wind-powered trains; lab-grown meat. And - from the country that invented the toilet shelf - the Netherlands also bring you homes heated with poo. Roll up your sleeves, folks! The future is gross.

Here’s the problem. The Netherlands doesn’t get nearly enough credit for their innovations - because that’s exactly how they like it. The entire country is allergic to anything resembling bragging. Scheppen, goed. Opscheppen, niet goed.

Netherlands, you need a sidekick. You need a wing man. You need a cheerleader! Enter The American Netherlander: Greg Shapiro is part American ‘Optimist’ and part Dutchman ‘On Ecstasy.’ Preserve your mental health and come see Greg Shapiro Saves the Climate.

Greg Shapiro (Boom Chicago, Comedy Central, ZDF) has written and performed 6 solo shows including Leaving Trumpland and How to Be Orange. As author, Greg has written books such as How to Be Dutch: the Quiz and his latest The American Netherlander: 25 Years of Expat Tales.
