Planet Philadelphia 4-5:00 PM Friday 5/6/22
92.9 FM WGGT-LP in Philadelphia
and live streaming at gtownradio.com

We will be bequeathing our environment to the next generation. What do the children think about environmental issues? How can we engage with them fruitfully about climate change? On this show:
  • Jeremy Wortzel and Lena Champlin respectively are a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania and a doctoral student in Environmental and Earth Science at Drexel University.  Jeremy will be a child and adolescent psychiatry resident at Brigham and Women’s Hospital next year. Lena also is a research associate on the Academy of Natural Sciences museum, where she conducts outreach to families. Along with help from the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry (GAP) – Climate Committee, this engaged couple wrote and illustrated a children’s book on talking with children about climate change.  The aim of the book is to help children lessen their anxiety about this problem. They will talk about how to engage children concerning climate change without increasing their anxiety.
  • Voices of children.  For Earth Day, April 22, Planet Philadelphia visited the Academy of Natural Sciences and recorded children’s observations about the environment and their experience of Earth Day at the Academy.  Additional recordings of these interviews will air on subsequent shows.
  • News related to children/adolescents and the environment

New Planet Philadelphia
4-5:00 PM today, 4/15/22

Economics of the Anthropocene:
Effects on our Environment and Society 

92.9 FM WGGT-LP in Philadelphia
and live streaming at gtownradio.com
.

In an era in which human beings are changing natural systems, perhaps our standard economics are not helping us decide what is best economically as well as for human well-being.  Would a different, and potentially better, approach to economics help policy makers make better decisions?
Picture
Leonard Nakamura is an emeritus economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.  He also works locally on climate education through the Climate Net-Zero Education Project, part of Philadelphia Neighborhood Networks.  Leonard will discuss his writings and thoughts about economic mismeasurement in our current system, the emergence of asset bubbles everywhere, economic speculation by the rich and how these issues impact environmental and other world problems that need fixing.

Also on this show:  News segment with related and timely news items and announcements.
