Summary: In 1905, America's national forest system was created to preserve pristine wilderness and the wildlife that lives there for all generations. The national forests and grasslands encompass 193 million acres of land, which is an area equivalent to the size of Texas. Unfortunately, throughout the years, more than half of the system's forested land has been developed or crisscrossed by roads that disturb its natural beauty and ecosystems. GreenXC is an organization of young professionals determined to make an impact on the preservation of National Parks and Forests. For the next 3 weeks, they are setting out on a cross-country mission using only ride-shares to conduct a national outreach and awareness campaign for parks and forests with the help of the USDA Forest Service. The scenic odyssey will have a focus on environmental protection including the myriad of conservation issues facing national forests. The team will be documenting their journey in homes of raising awareness for national parks and forests, as well as the idea of ride-sharing, a fun and eco-friendly form of transportation. The goal for this campaign is to get from NYC to California visiting various parks and forests along the way. GreenXC consists of a collaboration of enthusiasts with seasoned experience in the fields of Public Relations, Marketing, Business, Law, Journalism and Photography who share the common goal of enriching young minds to encourage the future generation to take action to protect our national parks and forests and create an eco-sustainable nation. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to the founders of GreenXC, Polina Raygorodskaya and Igor Bratnikov. Stay Tuned!
