 Power Towards a Just Future parade/rally August 2, 2018 © Kay Wood This is a photo I took at the Power Towards a Just Future parade/rally on August 2nd when I was down on the hot summer streets of Center City to cover the event. Carnival de Resistance (CdR) and a number of other environmental and justice groups such as EQAT, PAIPL, and Green Justice Philly staged the parade/rally, a well attended colorful, energetic, creative event urging PECO, SEPTA and the City to make a just transition to a clean energy future. A number of rally attendees gave me statements about what was happening and some of their hopes for action, several of which will be on the August 17th Planet Philadelphia. Hope you’ll be able to tune in,

 Hi Everyone, I did this editorial cartoon back in 2014 on congressional inaction on helping do something about climate change. Not sure anything has improved since then. However, on today’s Planet Philadelphia, we have a number of young Temple students who have some pretty good ideas on what we can do right here in Philly to make things better. So tune in 4-5 pm today to Planet Philadelphia at 92.9 low power FM Germantown Community Radio and WGGT-LP and/or streaming at gtownradio.com. Have a great rest of your summer, Kay Wood Producer and Host of Planet Philadelphia

As the planet warms there will be several large challenges we as a society need to address. Most of these challenges will hit our youth the hardest. This Planet Philadelphia features podcasts by Temple University students about the climate change adaptation process and its implications for equity and social justice. Seventeen undergraduate students at Temple University enrolled in the “Geography of Hazards” course offered by the Geography and Urban Studies Department produced these podcasts. Dr. Hamil Pearsall, a professor in the Geography and Urban Studies Department at Temple, supervised. The students worked in groups of four to five to create the episodes, and each group partnered with a local organization or agency: Philadelphia Horticultural Society, Temple University Office of Sustainability, Philadelphia Department of Public Health. Kay Wood, from Planet Philadelphia, and Richard Johnson, CUSP (Climate and Urban Systems Partnership) Project Manager, provided guidance on science communication. The Franklin Institute provided funding through its CUSP project competition.
