Because it’s Earth Day in two days, we thought, what better way to celebrate than by talking about the most iconic symbol of the Earth? Trees are nature’s first line of defense when it comes to fighting climate change, because of their capacity to remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it. In this episode we’ll learn about two ways that will help forests keep doing the work they need to do. Yee Lee is the VP of Growth at Terraformation, a forest restoration startup that aims to speed up the reforesting process. Zack Parisa is NCX CEO and co-founder and Dr. Jennifer Jenkins is its Chief Sustainability Officer. NCX is connecting American landowners with carbon buyers using AI data mapping to open up access to the carbon offsets market.
