This is A Sustainable Mind, episode 36.

Hey there, Sustainable Minds.

Did you know that we have a phone number?

And guess what?

I actually respond.

Send me a text message to 323-536-1120.

Again, that phone number is 323-536-1120.

Tell me what you love about this show, what you think we can improve upon,

who you want to hear from on future episodes, and let me know what your green goals are for

2018. I'd love to hear from you. Reducing plastic use or not contributing to legal

wildlife trade when you're on vacation or recycling more using public

transfer. There are lots of ways that we can start small, but I think together as a global unit,

we can do a lot more through starting small.

Welcome to A Sustainable Mind, where we delve into the minds behind today's most impactful environmental campaigns, organizations, and startups, inspiring the environmental change makers of tomorrow.

I'm your host, Marjorie Alexander.

Jessica Graham is a crime-fighting conservationist.

She has previously worked with Interpol on their environmental security program and is former senior

advisor of the U.S. Department of State, where she created an environmental crime program that

now dedicates $40 million annually to combating wildlife and forest crimes. Jessica, welcome to

the show. Thanks for having me. You have a really, really interesting background in law enforcement, and I cannot wait to dive a little bit deeper into that.

But first, I want to know about how nature, the environment, and sustainability played a role in your home life growing up.

Yeah.
