About this Episode
Can’t see the forest for the trees? Let Nicolai Niesen help lead you through some deforestation issues in this lively and philosophical discussion on saving the planet, saving the rainforest, and saving business people unnecessary headaches trying to comply with legislation.
Nicolai Niesen has just written a book to help small- and medium-sized enterprises as well as anyone else who has to comply with the EU Deforestation Regulation. Talking about it opened up a much broader conversation about when and why regulations are needed, what responsibility consumers and ordinary citizens have in protecting our planet, and what right countries have to impose their values on others. It made for a much more interesting discussion than you might be lead to believe when you come across the word ‘legislation’, and our easy, winding conversation took philosophical and even poetical turns! There are even some beautiful songs all about trees – what’s not to love?
