 I did this cartoon shortly after I finished, The Big Belch, my first environmental graphic novel. As you can see I’ve been thinking about how our world is changing for a while now. Many other folks have too. On the next Planet Philadelphia coming up next Friday, 8/17/18, hear a number of interesting visions and hopes for our future from several other Philadelphians who’ve given the matter a lot of thought. Hope you’re having a fun safe summer, Kay Wood Tune in to Planet Philadelphia 4-5 pm Friday 8/17/18 at 92.9 low power FM Germantown Community Radio and WGGT-LP and/or streaming at gtownradio.com.  Reflecting on Our Future © 2018 Kay Wood It’s mid-August, time to take a break from the heat and our hectic lives to think about where we’re going.

Listen to the next Planet Philadelphia, 8/17/18, and hear a medley of voices from Philadelphians who have been giving this some serious thought. Hear their visions of the future and how we could get there. They will provide some rewarding insights, surprise you, and perhaps inspire you.

 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
