If Trees Could Talk
Manage episode 436488304 series 3289644
One football field's-worth of forest is lost every single second of every single day. Loss of forests means loss of species and loss of stored carbon; it also means an increased risk of pandemics.
On today's show: Explaining the ways in which deforestation is linked to the pandemic prevalence, with tangible action steps for conscious consumers.
Here's a preview:
[5:00] It's not *just* about timber; it's about livestock, soy, and palm oil too
[12:30] Exactly what happens when we raze forests and the generalists (ahem ... the rats, the mosquitos) march in
[26:00] Breaking down the differences between the 3 Forest Stewardship Council certifications
[29:00] Revisiting the palm oil problem
[32:00] The industrialized food system is broken, and it pays to shorten your personal food chain
