trees out in the wetland areas. and i began doing this work around 2009 or so 2010. and i was working in the oil and gas industry and i was driving the boat's here in the harbor. right. and i was going back and forth between the harbor and the spots on the golf and noticing a lot of land loss over the years. and i wanted to be doing anything i could to, to be slowing that down and, and so planting trees was something that i could do within my own power. richie and mom could already planted several 1000 trees in the mississippi delta. the tree roots give the islands greatest ability. so the notice easily washed away routine. notice these f, it's a just a drop in the bucket, but because it's better than doing nothing,

the richie grows the seedlings and these are on god and receives no financial assistance from the governmental aid organizations. he used to work as a fisherman and later on an offshore oil. rig richie now has a job with the local township, but he's most devoted to his work in the delta. so you can see there's water in the ground here. very high water table. this island is at risk because it doesn't have a single tree. and the roots of the plans aren't more than a couple of centimeters. deep mock has been planting trees alongside richie for years. my family came here in early 1700 has been living here

ever since. and if it goes away, we go way. the humans that we're living here before they built earth and mountains made on a one basket of money show of the time. they pulled their efforts in labor together to live in these exceedingly productive places. and when the europeans got here, we built levies and we started controlling nature. and where we find the problems here is where we try to control nature too much. since the building of the levies and the 19 cities, the sea level here has risen by about 9 millimeters each year. and about 5000 square kilometers of land has been lost in mississippi river. it has provided for my family for generations. and the delta is in peril, right? and so we're, i'm doing what i can and others are to, to help restore this area because they don't take care of us and into the future. and the mississippi river brings all americans together in one way or another, right?

it makes us who we are. scientists expect that most of the little islands will be gone for good in just 20 years. but richie and others who leased by the mississippi refused to give up hope just yet. the extra mobility in the us has become the newest symbol in the quote. so joe biden is planning an electric vehicle revolution. 12 donald trump promises to american the next street a road economic political portfolio made in germany in 30 minutes on the w. 6 own a search in support for the fall, right?
