GUARENTEED CLIMATE CHANGE SUCCESS: 4/4:  The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet, by Jim Robbins. https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Planted-Trees-Science/dp/0812981294/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Twenty years ago, David Milarch, a northern Michigan nurseryman with a penchant for hard living, had a vision: angels came to tell him that the Earth was in trouble. Its trees were dying and, without them, human life was in jeopardy. The solution, they told him, was to clone the champion trees of the world—the largest, the hardiest, the ones that had survived millennia and were most resilient to climate change—and create a kind of Noah's ark of tree genetics. Without knowing if the message had any basis in science, or why he'd been chosen for this task, Milarch began his mission of cloning the world's great trees. Many scientists and tree experts told him it couldn't be done, but, twenty years later, his team has successfully cloned some of the world's oldest trees—among them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah.   When the New York Times journalist Jim Robbins came upon Milarch's story, he was fascinated but had his doubts. Yet, over several years, listening to Milarch and talking to scientists, he came to realize that there is so much we do not yet know about trees: how they die, how they communicate, the myriad crucial ways they filter water and air and otherwise support life on Earth. It became clear that as the planet changes, trees and forest are essential to assuring its survival. 1910 Germany

This week's episode is the second in a multipart series called Climate Hits Home, in which guests discuss the effects of climate change in US cities and towns and how local communities are addressing those effects. In this episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Kathryn Sorensen about how the city of Phoenix, Arizona, has been preparing for uncertainty around water availability. Sorensen is a professor of practice at Arizona State University and a former director of Phoenix Water Services. Sorensen discusses how climate change is affecting the desert Southwest, how Phoenix encourages responsible water use, the importance of water-delivery infrastructure, and water-related lessons that other cities can learn from Phoenix.

Nature is an incredible source of inspiration for scientists and R&D experts, leading to the development of biomimicry: a new branch of science that seeks to imitate living things. Through biomimicry, researchers are able to develop new technologies by studying and imitating the designs created in nature by Allah. This approach has been applied in the world of technology, particularly in nanotechnology, robot technology, artificial intelligence, medicine, and the military. By drawing from these natural systems as models, humans are able to create more sustainable technologies than those in use today. Biomimicry has surprised scientists and revealed incomparable structures and systems that have the potential to enrich technology in a wide range of fields. Nature is a source of inspiration for scientists, and biomimicry is a way of using the extraordinary designs in living things in the service of humanity. Scientists are making important gains with regard to time and labor, and using less material resources by imitating nature. There are many scientific papers that discuss these topics, such as "Science is Imitating Nature," "Life's Lessons in Design," "Biomimicry: Secrets Hiding in Plain Sight," and more. In the 19th century, nature was only imitated aesthetically, but in the 20th century, scientists began studying natural mechanisms at the molecular level and learned from living things, as revealed in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.

Its trees were dying and, without them, human life was in jeopardy. The solution, they told him, was to clone the champion trees of the world—the largest, the hardiest, the ones that had survived millennia and were most resilient to climate change—and create a kind of Noah's ark of tree genetics. Without knowing if the message had any basis in science, or why he'd been chosen for this task, Milarch began his mission of cloning the world's great trees. Many scientists and tree experts told him it couldn't be done, but, twenty years later, his team has successfully cloned some of the world's oldest trees—among them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah.   When the New York Times journalist Jim Robbins came upon Milarch's story, he was fascinated but had his doubts. Yet, over several years, listening to Milarch and talking to scientists, he came to realize that there is so much we do not yet know about trees: how they die, how they communicate, the myriad crucial ways they filter water and air and otherwise support life on Earth. It became clear that as the planet changes, trees and forest are essential to assuring its survival.

Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Tony Mahavorick was born in Glendora, California on Leap-Day, February 29th, 1960. Even as a young child, Tony was always asking questions about the world around him and answering those questions was almost a full time job for his mother! Life was difficult in those early years, and as Tony got a little older, he did everything he could to help his mother and his younger brother and sister. When Tony was 13, his mother married again, this time to a very nice man named Jim Robbins. That's when Tony Mahavorick became Tony Robbins. Life was still hard, though because this new family was very poor. In fact, that November, they didn't have enough money for a Thanksgiving meal. But then some very kind person put everything they needed for a great Thanksgiving meal right at their front door. Young Tony was SO amazed by this act of kindness that he made a promise to himself that very day. He promised to work really hard and become the kind of person who could afford to be very generous to others. A very short time later when Tony was in the 9th grade, he KNEW exactly what he wanted to do! He wanted to be a sports writer and cover not school games but major league games. With his great determination, and because he lived in Southern California, he was able to find and interview professional football players, baseball players, golfers, and even professional sportscasters! And with that VERY BIG start in the 9th grade, he has continued to do EVERYTHING in a BIG way! Over time, he became a great speaker and a life coach who helps heads of major corporations and even leaders of countries all over the world with his advice about success. He has made MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars, all as a part of keeping the promise he made on that Thanksgiving Day so long ago – a promise to help people in every way he could. Tony Robbins' entire life is about being a HERO! That's what I know about the beginning of This Hero, and I know that YOU Can Be a Hero TOO!

39: Dr. Julia Colwell, “Shifting from Reactive Brain to Creative Brain”   In this episode, we talk with our friend, the brilliant and insightful psychologist Dr. Julia Colwell, about the physiological experience of shame and why it’s so important that we learn how to shift out of our reactive brains - and the hierarchy that comes with it - back into our creative brains where collaboration, connection, and creativity are possible.

Jim Robbins has written recently about pandemic-related overcrowding on Montana's rivers; the connection between the growth of deadly viruses and the destruction of nature; the effects of public lands policy during the Trump Administration; geothermal energy; and an internet of animals. We'll talk with him about public lands and related topics as the Biden Administration gets underway.

We consider question 61 of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, seek out ministry partners and speak well of an old and dear friend, Jim Robbins.

Jim Robbins has written recently about pandemic-related overcrowding on Montana’s rivers; the connection between the growth of deadly viruses and the destruction of nature; the effects of public lands policy during the Trump Administration; geothermal energy; and an internet of animals. We’ll talk with him about public lands and related topics as the Biden Administration gets underway. Jim Robbins is a veteran journalist based in Helena, Montana. He has written for the New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, and numerous other publications. His latest book is “The Wonder of Birds: What they Tell Us about the World, Ourselves and a Better Future.”

David Milarch, Co-Founder of Archangel Ancient Tree Archive (www.ancienttreearchive.org), is a third generation nurseryman with over 40 years of experience in propagation and reforestation and has a vision of replanting the earth with the genetics of the world's remaining ancient forests. In this episode, David shares what he and his team are doing to propagate, reforest, and archive the world's oldest trees. They're doing this so we're able to restore our forests using clones of Champion Trees, that have shown they are capable of surviving thousands of years, in order to improve the ecofunction of the world's forests and give us the best shot of combating climate change. In the U.S. alone, we have cut down 98% of our old growth forest; Archangel Ancient Tree Archive (AATA) is creating a kind of Noah's Arc for trees so their genetics live on in these environmentally uncertain times. They have already cloned about 130 different species of trees and they continue to expand their work around the globe; they're even helping tree species with assisted migration to ensure their survival. David tells us how he and his team of climbers collect and clone ancient tree cuttings, and how they came up with a process to clone trees that are thousands of years old, which scientists said was impossible. David shares how his son Jake and his climbing colleagues even developed a rope elevator so visitors and non-climbers can go up 250 feet up and experience what it's like to be in an ancient Redwood! If you haven't already, you should definitely read Jim Robbins' book about David Milarch and his work. The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet is such an inspiring read. My mom and I both read the book in a day, and we even talk about in Episode 9: Our 2020 Must Read and Watch List. - Visit the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive website: www.ancienttreearchive.org - Donate to AATA: https://www.ancienttreearchive.org/donate - Watch David's TEDxJacksonHole talk on Ancient Trees For The Future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y069UFbk11s Mother Daughter Earth links: - Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/motherdaughterearth - Follow us on Instagram: @motherdaughterearth (www.instagram.com/motherdaughterearth) - Visit our website: www.motherdaughterearth.biz

In the premiere episode, Creator of The Iconoclast Dinner Experience (IDE), Executive Producer and host of The IDE Impolite Conversation Podcast, Lezli Levene Harvell begins her first episode introducing the podcast and episode one of a five part series of conversations beginning at the height of the coronavirus, reflecting a timely perspective on the global pandemic how it shines a lights on our food supply chain, its impact on culture, Black businesses and potentially the Black middle class. The first episode under the theme “Climate Change + COVID-19 + Communities of Color, Lezli is joined by Jim Robbins, Montana based free-lance journalist for the New York Times, covering climate change and the environment, as well as Mary I. Williams, assistant director of community and student engagement at the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice in New Orleans, LA . The conversation between the three examines how climate change influenced an environmental shift where the coronavirus could not only survive, but thrive. Lezli also examines the cross section of environmental, economic, and social-cultural factors that contribute to how communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, and how Black and Brown communities have been historically impacted by climate change over time and unequally protected during recovery efforts.

In episode twenty, we’re doing something a little different. We don’t have just one book to discuss, we have a whole year of reading and books and reading related goals to reflect on. And, of course, we’ve got a bunch of stellar recommendations for you that should see you through those long lazy summer afternoons.So, let’s talk books. We read a pretty interesting mix this year, from This One Summer, a graphic novel from Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki, to Clare Wrights The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka to N.K. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season. Some scored the much revered two thumbs up and some, well, not so much.So, what were our high points this year?

In 1960, Anthony J. Mahavoric was born in North Hollywood, California. Not sure who that is? Let me give you a hint: his mom remarried a man named Jim Robbins, who adopted young Tony as a 12-year-old. That’s right, today’s episode is all about Tony Robbins. This man has had the most profound influence on the coaching and consulting business, and has changed personal development as we know it. I believe that Tony has had three major inflection points over the course of his career. The first came when he was 17 years old and began working for Jim Rohn. The second came in the early 1980s, when he met John Grinder and started teaching NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis. Tony’s third inflection point occurred in the early 1990s, when he met Bill Guthy and Greg Renker. My favorite quote of his is just three words long, but carries so much wisdom and insight: “Proximity is power.” If you want to turn your dreams into reality faster, you need to get yourself in physical proximity with people who are playing the game at a higher level than you are. These are people with higher status and more success than you, who make more money than you do. Surrounding yourself with these people allows you to model what is proven to work. Don’t miss today’s episode to hear more about the power of proximity, which is the common thread that runs through today’s key insights! In this episode, you’ll learn why... ...being the proximity of other leaders can change your life. ...who you spend time with is ultimately who you become in your life. ...your environments will influence your future more than your personal willpower. In This Episode: [03:47] - Alex introduces today’s episode and mentions the three key insights that you’ll learn as you listen. [05:21] - We hear the story of Anthony J. Mahavoric, better known as Tony Robbins. [07:34] - Alex explains when Tony Robbins’ first inflection point in his career occurred. [11:53] - We learn about Tony’s early infomercials, which featured celebrities, and how successful Tony became as a result of this exposure. [13:26] - Alex’s favorite saying by Tony Robbins is just three words: “Proximity is power.” He then talks about the importance of modeling. [16:22] - We hear about how spending physical time with specific people has changed Alex’s life and career. [20:45] - Proximity people can turn the dial and move the needle for your business, Alex points out. [21:44] - Alex shares an example of the power of proximity from his own business. [23:25] - We learn that Alex is an introvert (except when he’s on stage), and find out how proximity started for im. [25:21] - Who you spend your time with is ultimately who you become, Alex explains. [27:26] - What about proximity with groups? [29:33] - We hear a quick review of the insights about proximity that Alex has covered over the course of today’s episode.

Host: Ron Beard, University of Maine Cooperative Extension Studio Engineer: Amy Browne Issue: Community concerns and opportunities Program Topic: The future of the Millinocket Baxter region, including a possible National Park Key Discussion Points: What changes have you seen in the Millinocket-Baxter region in your lifetime… are there trends in the economy and in forest practices, land ownership of the Millinocket-Baxter Region? Given the trends, what role could recreation and tourism play in the near and longer term future economy (leaving aside, for now who owns and manages the land). What private resources are currently contributing to the recreation/tourism economy? What gave rise to groups like Friends of Acadia and other “friends groups” of national and state parks? Your career has been in conservation—what trends do you see in what land is conserved, how it is conserved? What is the interplay between conserved land and land that is managed for forestry, agriculture or other specific economic ends? What are the main arguments for (Olson and Johnson) and against (Pray and Robbins) a national park in the region? Quoting from an article in Portland Press Herald– In response to interest in having President Obama initiate National Monument designation for land donated by Elliotsville Plantation “…three members of Maine's congressional delegation outlined nine “conditions” that the Obama administration should consider if it went forward with a designation. Those conditions include ensuring that traditional recreational activities – including hunting, fishing, camping and use of snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles – as well as forest management continue on the land. They also stated that any monument designation “must respect private property rights and ensure the federal government will never take any private land in the area by eminent domain.” Are these conditions at the core of continued discussion?

 Will genetic clones of the World's largest trees help to save the planet?  One man believes the answer to this question is YES!  David Milarch of Copemish, MI. has dedicated years to this concept and the project will be launched December 4, 2012.  To quote Dr. Rama Newami, Earth Scientist, “It is amazing for one layman to come up with the idea of saving championship trees as a meaningful way to address the issues of biodiversity and climate change.  This could be a grass roots solution to a global problem.  A few million people selecting and planting the right trees for the right places could really make a difference.” Join us to hear the details of the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive.
