Different Approaches to Environmental Advocacy: New Planet Philadelphia - 4-5 pm Friday, 4/6/18

3/30/2018

 
The next Planet Philadelphia features two guests with different approaches to environmental advocacy:  cognitive/concrete and action oriented versus unsuspecting, and making the invisible visceral. 

Listen to two active advocates of caring for people and planet earth:

We here at Planet Philadelphia are thinking about all those poor people who are shivering in the cold without power after the nor’easter. We sure hope they get it back on soon!


What happened last Friday?

Planet Philadelphia ran a repeat this past Friday. Till the last, I thought I’d be able to provide a new show. However, the Nor’easter blew in fierce enough that I was worried about the guests’ safety. I decided to run a repeat instead of asking them to trek through the snow and whipping winds.

Don’t loose hope though, those of you who were really looking forward to hearing that Planet Philadelphia with Big Wind talking about youth climate change activism and Dr. Rachelle Valletta telling us what to expect from climate change here in Philadelphia. You will get to hear from them. It will just be a bit delayed. I will keep you posted. It’s our planet and I know you want to hear about it.

Thank you for supporting Planet Philadelphia environmental radio show!
Kay Wood
