I've traveled around the planet and it's changing it at amazingly fast pace and what we see

today won't be around in 10 or 20 years. So the more you can get out, the more you can see the world, the more it can experience it,

and the more you can do to help protect it, you'll be happy that you did it.

Welcome to a sustainable mind, where we delve into the minds behind today's most impactful environmental campaigns, organizations, and startups, inspiring the environmental changemakers of tomorrow.

I'm your host, Marjorie Alexander.

John All is a scientist, mountaineer, and explorer.

He is the founding director of the Mountain Environment's Research Institute at Western Washington

University, as well as the co-founder and executive director of the American Climber Science

Program.

He has traveled to some of the most isolated

places on this planet to collect data and has witnessed the effects of climate change firsthand.

Welcome to the show, John. And how are you?

Great, great. Thank you for having me.

Absolutely. I'm so excited to be interviewing you because I feel like this is perhaps, interestingly enough, one of the first times that I've interviewed what I would consider to be a climate expert, a climate change expert.
