## Resource

On this episode of the pod, I talk to Laura Elms, Sustainability Manager at Forest Bikes. We delve into how public bike share works, the sharing economy, why some schemes survive and some disappeared, how Forest tackle their scope 1-3 emissions, and their project to plant Giant Sequoias in Wales. And, yes, I ask why not native trees – and there's a good answer! This episode is brought to you by Terra Infirma Ltd - Bringing Sustainability to Life Hosted on Acast.
