Lauro Silva is a trail runner, environmental justice advocate, community leader, designer and educator. They are building pathways to environmental action and inclusion for BIPOC folks in the outdoor community. We talk about identity, access, environmental justice and community care, and what belonging in the climate movement means to them. We also discuss their new initiative, Tierra Libre.

We talk about: 

• How having a relationship with nature is essential for effective climate action
• Their upbringing and how that influences their community work today
• Trail running, and more trail running
• Their new initiative, Tierra Libre
• Climate gardens!
