There's no doubt we live in a time of crisis.
Day after day, we read news and stories about the worsening climate challenge. Yet little do we hear stories of hope.
And not just theoretical hope, but the pragmatic, "rolled-up sleeves" kind of hope.
But that is exactly what this week's guest's work and book is all about.
And so we are delighted to welcome Osprey Orielle Lake to The EcoSend Podcast, to bring a fresh perspective on the vital role which women and indigenous cultures can play in safeguarding our planet (and our own!) future.
So please do tune in and join us as James chatted to Osprey all about:
🪓 Osprey's childhood, confronted by logging activities of California's majestic Redwoods.
😔 Unfulfilled climate-change promises from the Obama administration.
📉 How increasing the Women's Political Empowerment Index dramatically cuts carbon emissions.
🗣️ The importance of conversation around gender and race.
🌍 Reforesting 1.6 million acres in the DRC
🙌 Moving from pyramid hierarchy to grass-root, bottom-up leadership.
... and much more! ✨
This was a fantastic episode, revealing so much to us on the changes needed if we are to move forward together, towards a better future 💚
