Welcome to the ispeakforthetrees podcast! Whether you're a tree-hugging hippie, a civil engineer or a bodybuilder, this platform is designed to diversify the discussions around environmentalism. Each week I welcome a different guest on the show as we break down different environmental philosophies and ideologies through an interdisciplinary lens. On the surface environmentalism might just seem like planting trees and counting birds, but really the core of environmentalism is accountability, education and social change. Speak for the trees, save the bees, and lets keep it below 1.5 degrees.
