Planet Philadelphia environmental radio show 4-5:00 PM Friday 8/5/22:
Land management issues cut across many other matters related to our environment. We are exploring some of these in this show.
  • Jenny Greenberg, Camille Poinvil, and Vita Litvak will talk about community gardens and the Neighborhood Gardens Trust. NGT is an organization which attempts to preserve land for gardens and open space by putting it in a conservation trust, a unique way of preserving land. Jenny is the Executive Director; Camille started SeyPor Garden, lives in Germantown, and is the community outreach coordinator for Weavers Way Coop; and Vita is the lead garden organizer for Pastorius Community Garden located in Germantown.
  • Steve Luxton is the Executive Director of the Energy Coordinating Agency which creates lasting solutions to the energy problems of low and moderate income Philadelphians, particularly focusing on fixing their homes and on training people for weatherization and renewable energy jobs. He will provide a preview of a new home repair program which may be a model for the whole country.
  • Editorial comments:  on land management issues engendered by the above.

Several large scale institutions have recently been affecting our progress towards lessening climate change.  Among them are banking/financial institutions and the US Supreme Court.  How are some of the proponents of diminishing our exposure to greenhouse gases framing their work with these institutions?
  • Lila Holzman is a manager supporting the Alignment Insights work within RMI’s (formerly Rocky Mountain Institute) Center for Climate-Aligned Finance. Her work focuses on enabling financial institutions to align their investment and lending strategies with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the transition to a net-zero economy.  She will be telling us about this work and its potential to help with climate change issues.
  • Alex Bomstein is the Director of Litigation for the Clean Air Council of Philadelphia, an organization that has been working to insure there is clean air since 1967.  The Clean Air Council was one of the organizations involved in trying to get a positive outcome of the recent Supreme Court case, West VA vs. EPA. Alex will discuss some of the implications of this recent decision and what steps forward can be taken to protect the environment.

We Scooped PBS: Weather, Climate, & Freedom with Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz & John Harte, PhD, 7/1/22

7/2/2022

0 Comments

 
Our July 1st show featured an interview with the beloved local NBC TV news meteorologist, Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz, recently retired. He spoke with us about how TV weather reporters present the science of climate change and the weather. Later that evening PBS News broadcast a similar story telling essentially the same story we’d just broadcast.

We also had one of the first - if not the  first - stories in American media exploring the connection between the Supreme Court’s abortion rights ruling and climate change. We spoke with Dr. John Harte, Distinguished Professor of the Graduate School Ecosystem Sciences at the University of California in Berkeley, CA, about why he includes reproductive freedom as one of his climate change solutions, and what results the recent abortion decision could have on our society and our existential climate crisis.
