Episode Summary: In this episode, we talked about what we can do to help preserve animals and learn how trees communicate and what humans can learn from their way of communication 

Featuring Carbon Almanac Contributors Jenn Swanson, Rod Aparicio and Inma

From Langley in British Columbia, Canada, Jenn is a Minister, Coach, Writer and Community Connector, helping people help themselves. 

Rod is a strategy advisor for indie brands. Rod is from Lima, Peru, living in Frankfurt, Germany

Imma is from Cádiz in the South of Spain, living in Aberdeen, Scotland. Imma is a sommelier, a poet, a podcaster, a mother, a slow food advocate, and an animist activist.

In the first conversation, Jenn and Rod discussed endangered animal species, how human pressure on resources and the destruction of their natural habitats threaten the survival of some animals, and what we can do about it. For example, a few years ago, Jenn’s son bought her for Christmas a year sponsorship of a …baby elephant.

In the second conversation, Inma talked about a ted talk by Suzanne Simard on ‘How Trees Talk To Each Other’, how learning from their way of communication helped Inma deal with eco-anxiety and how she went from the state of hopelessness to being hopeful again.
