On today's podcast our guest is Eric Decker aka Airrack he’s a former competitive diver, entrepreneur and in 2020 took YouTube by storm growing his channel from zero to one million subscribers. Becoming one of the fastest growing channels on the platform.

He has now built a social following of 4 million. His dedication, drive, creativity and self proclaimed ‘social hacking’ have earned him recognition as one of the hottest up and coming creators online.

We’re visiting Ariel Lew Ai Le Whitson, Director of Education and Community Organizing at TreePeople, Los Angeles’ largest environmental movement whose mission is to inspire, engage and support people to take personal responsibility for the urban environment, making it safe, healthy, fun and sustainable.

TreePeople is helping communities to put these solutions into action alongside healthy, well-cared for trees to create a Functioning Community Forest in every L.A. neighborhood. Expanding the tree canopy over L.A. remains one of TreePeople's central goals. More trees means cooler temperatures, cleaner air, replenished groundwater supplies and a safer, more beautiful city.

In the last 20 years the United States lost 42.2 Million hectares of tree cover, which is equivalent to the size of California. This tree loss has created 16.3Gt of CO₂e emissions. A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period.  Only 11% of Us forest land is protected so We desperately need  to campaign for legislation  to protect existing forests from development and support education programs and reforestation initiatives like treepeople
