Welcome to today’s episode. I am so pleased to have Lyda Salatian on the show with me. It was honestly one of my favourite interviews I have ever done. Her ion and dedication just burst through in every moment of our conversation. Lyda founded the nonprofit, Green Teams of Canada, in 2011. She has won some very prestigious awards for her ions and commitment, such as: British Columbia Achievement Foundation Community Award and the YWCA Women of Distinction Award - Environmental Sustainability. Lyda believes inviting people into nature and engaging them in meaningful, fun hands-on action, will instill an ethic that will lead people to care more about the environment and responsible environmental behaviour. Lyda has worked and volunteered in the nonprofit sector for 20 years. Lyda and I talk about: -how she began, and what motivated her to take on this huge task. -what the events look like and what projects they do -who can come to the events (hint – EVERYONE – all ages and abilities are welcome!) -why taking care of the environment is pulling weeds and planting seeds, but even more            importantly – about connecting to each other -the difference acting in community can make -what the future vision of Green Teams of Canada is -how people can find out about the events and get involved -why environmental action should be our top priority and why it is urgent we act now My conversation with Lyda will move you, inspire you, make you think and likely have you want to get your whole family involved. See you there!
