David Milarch is showing us by example what can be done to restore the Earth. His Earth Day 2013 talk at Northwestern Michigan College, entitled Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet will touch on the challenges we face, and the opportunities in our grasp to restore our planet we call home.
There are people and causes in this world worth celebrating. Brilliance and success are often celebrated, but I sometimes wonder if we have it wrong. Maybe the people we should be celebrating are not tech icons, captains of industry and entrepeneurs like Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, or Bill Gates. In a sense, these men have received their reward. But how about the people who do big things without a guaranteed payoff at the end? Meet David Milarch.
David Milarch believes that the genetics of long-living trees should be studied to understand how they have managed to survive and thrive.
Co.Exist, a website about sharing world changing ideas and innovation, posted an article about Archangel called “An Archive Of Ancient Tree DNA Will Help Us Clone The Ones We Destroy.”
In an article entitled “The Big Idea: Clone Ancient Trees to Save Planet Earth,” Reader’s Digest shares The Man Who Planted Trees with the world as a “Noteworthy Book.”
