40 Years, 1650 Communities in 9 Countries: Planting 73 Million Trees to Transform Lives, Ecosystems & the Environment
Big environmental and ecosystem impact. Global cause. In today’s episode, I have the honor of talking with two visionaries and humanitarians. Plant with Purpose CEO Scott Sabin and Kathy Kellogg Johnson, co-owner of 100 year old heritage brand Kellogg Garden Products and 15-year volunteer for PWP.
In this lively, highly informative and inspiring conversation, Scott shares his story how he started with Plant with Purpose in 1993 as an accidental environmentalist (article link below). He explains he had various roles ultimately rising to CEO, after beginning as a volunteer while in graduate school.
Kathy joins the conversation as a loyal 15-year volunteer and donor whose life perspective changed dramatically from her first PWP expedition in a third world country and how passionate she is with PWP’s three pillars: Thriving People, Healthy Ecosystems, and Climate Resilience.
I’ll let the profoundness of PWP’s impact sink in with you as you hear how the core efforts are integrated in long-term community-driven programs with local partners in nine countries. They partner with farmers in 1650 communities to plant 73 million trees, while dramatically reducing poverty in their watersheds.
“Trees are the lungs of the planet. Fundamentally, the reason we started planting trees is because they are one of the best ways of helping hungry people, who grow their own food, to restore and get the most out of the land they depend on,” says Scott.
Incredible. Share this with your children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends. We are all one.
