Summary

This week, we're sharing an earlier conversation with Hank Dearden, who we featured in October 2022. He runs a not-for-profit called Forest Planet, and he’s able to do something truly amazing – he plants trees for just $0.15 each.How does he do it? By working within communities where the dollar goes further. He’s recently taken on a project in Morocco where they are planting fig trees, and where they are working to restore biodiversity, shifting from mono-cropped fields to biodynamic regenerative farms that incorporate more species, that reduce tillage, and that incorporate livestock. As he states on his blog page about their work in Morocco – which I’ll link to with show notes – The Right Trees, Planted in the Right Way, at the Right Time are an economically viable alternative. Before I share the episode, I also want to remind you that I’ve decided to support Hank and Forest Planet this year as my charity of choice. I’m planting a tree for each active subscriber to our newsletter. So join our circle! Visit circleb.co and sign up today. I’ll plant a tree on your behalf!

0:00.0	Hello, fellow dookers and friends. I'm your host, Karina Belizzi. This week, I want to bring you
0:05.9	into the way back machine to listen to my conversation with Hank Dearden, who I interviewed in
0:10.9	October 22. Hank runs a not-for-profit called Forest Planet, and he's able to do something
0:17.5	that's truly amazing. Would you believe that he plants trees for just 15 cents
0:22.8	apiece? How on earth does he do this? Well, frankly, it's by working with communities where
0:28.6	the dollar simply goes further. He's recently taken on a project in Morocco where they are planting
0:34.3	fig trees and where they're working to restore biodiversity,
0:38.3	shifting from monocroped fields to biodynamic regenerative farms, and incorporating more species.
0:44.9	This reduces their need to till, and ultimately they're incorporating livestock, too.
0:50.4	As he states on his blog page about their work in Morocco, which I think I'll link with show notes,
0:56.4	he says, quote, the right trees planted in the right way at the right time are an economically
1:03.1	viable alternative. Before I share the episode, I also want to remind you that I've decided

1:40.8	Plus, keep in mind that our hosting site, CircleB.co, is also partnered with 1% for the planet.
