He is an activist and artist originally from Canada, who lives with his wife in a cabin on the headwaters of the Yukon River. He has lived in many other countries and has vast experience outside of Canada as well.
Climate change is the number one environmental issue of the day as John tells us about how the glaciers melting at such an alarming rate, will negatively impact the food and water supply for our whole planet. There is also the impact of the forest being destroyed because of the higher temperatures and drought that climate change is causing. Nature is a vital part of our infrastructure and if we continue to disrupt its essential and crucial systems we will indeed be at fault for our own decline.
