Former professional stock car racing driver and environmental activist Leilani Münter is the latest to feature on the Plant Based News Podcast.
Münter, who is an advocate for renewable energy, solar power, electric cars, plant-based diet, and animal rights, sits on the board of three non-profits: Ocean Preservation Society, Empowered By Light, and EarthxFilm.
She also featured in the 2015 documentary Racing Extinction - which 'draws attention to mankind's role in a potential loss of at least half of the world's species'.
PBN's Co-Founder Robbie Lockie sat down with Münter to see why you should never underestimate a 'vegan hippie chick with a racecar'.
"If we don't make these adaptions to the way that we're living on the planet then we're going to take ourselves out, and sadly, we're going to take millions of other species with us."
