In this episode, inspired by Chandler Van Voorhis of GreenTrees, we explore revolutionizing capitalism and restoring the Earth. GreenTrees' Code of Ethics emphasizes continuous innovation and transparency, principles applicable to personal and professional decision-making. Chandler introduces Capitalism 2.0, integrating nature's services into the system, urging a shift in ownership, fractionalizing services, and embracing digital innovation for transformative change. We tackle the climate crisis, discussing the importance of transparent carbon credit programs. As we conclude, I challenge you to take steps towards revaluing the Earth in your life and business. 

Chandler Van Voorhis is the co-founder and managing partner at GreenTrees, a global leader in reforestation to answer climate change and the largest reforestation program operator in the U.S. At GreenTrees, he drives the organization’s efforts to address climate change through reforestation. Under Chandler’s leadership, GreenTrees has engaged more than 600 landowners ranging from 10 to 3,500+ acres, planting 130,000+ acres of trees that have generated carbon offset credits equivalent to removing more than six million metric tons of carbon from the Earth’s atmosphere.

With nearly three decades of industry experience, Chandler is a leading expert in conservation and ecological markets. In 2002, he was awarded the ChevronTexaco Conservation Award, the nation’s most distinguished private conservation award. He has made appearances as a guest lecturer at Princeton and Yale, hosted a TEDx Talk, and has authored several publications on the emergence of natural capital. Before GreenTrees, Chandler was the co-host of GreenWave Radio, a nationally ranked syndicated radio talk show on business and the environment.
