Ep. 24 - Back to Nature with Scott Countryman

Ep. 24 - Back To Nature Great internet, no food or water - a sign of the times. This week's guest is my good friend Scott Countryman , who runs the Coral Triangle Conservancy, and is currently on a small island with no running water in the Philippines. Under threat of arrest, he cannot leave the island to buy food, and in these times he focuses on surviving every day. As we all face lockdown internationally due to an animal born virus, we are taking the environment around us more seriously than ever. Many people are stuck inside imagining a simpler life on an island far from humans. Scott will join us and discuss his situation right now, and also take us on a tour of the island and some of the inventive solutions he has created to live off the grid and keep the balance of human need and keeping nature natural. Please check out Scott's website for his work, where he spends his life to save the fastly disappearing corals in a legendary area known as the Coral Triangle. His goal is to become net positive for the biosphere because sustainability is not enough! http://ree.ph/ The Coral Triangle is a roughly triangular area of the tropical marine waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste that contain at least 500 species of reef-building corals in each ecoregion You can watch the show live at facebook.com/erik.crown We will talk about positive solutions to move forward and how we can improve after the pandemic to change the way we live and demand companies treat the Earth.
