Can you save a rainforest by paying people not to cut trees?
from What On Earth
Come with us into B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest where Coastal First Nations are working to protect the trees using revenue from carbon offsets. But skepticism over the system may be putting the experiment at risk. We’ll hear about climate-friendly cookbooks to help you make a new year's resolution in the kitchen. A climate course you can sign up for that doesn’t cost anything and won’t bum you out. And a youth-led Swiss campaign to tax the rich to fight climate change.
