#69 Felix Finkbeiner, How to Plant One Trillion Trees
On this episode, I sit down for a truly inspiring conversation with environmentalist, and founder of Plant-for-the-Planet, Felix Finkbeiner. Felix’s organization is currently responsible for planting over 13.6 billion trees around the world.
We have a fascinating discussion focused on the amazing work Plant-for-the-Planet is doing and how people can help and support their goal of planting 1 trillion trees. Our conversation includes; How at 9 years old Felix heard the story of Wangarĩ Maathai and was then inspired to start his own movement, how Felix was able to balance being a kid while also chasing after his dreams of changing the world through planting 1 million trees, creating a network of team members around the world to plant for the planet, why maintaining biodiversity and planting native species is vital to creating a thriving ecosystem, how Plant-for-the-Planet builds sustainable relationships with local communities to ensure projects succeed well into the future, what softwares Plant-for-the-Planet have built and how they're ensuring the most accurate and precise data is collected and used, why Plant-for-the-Planet is sharing its vast knowledge and key learning to anyone who wants it, and so much more!
