Planet Philadelphia

Podcasts of Great interviews from the Planet Philadelphia environmental radio show streamed on GTown Radio 7/21/17

7/22/2017

July 22, 2017 - This is a bit of a different approach I’m trying out for Planet Philadelphia. Instead of doing one big file with the podcast of the whole show, I thought I’d do the individual interviews that were slated to broadcast yesterday. This way of posting the sound files let’s people listen to each individual interview. It also is a way of apologizing for the strange tech problems that occurred during yesterday’s show. I'd hate for people to miss these inspiring and informative interviews.
Thank you for your interest in and support for Planet Philadelphia, the radio show about our environment on our wonderful local radio station, GTown Radio.
Stay cool folks,
Kay Wood
Planet Philadelphia Producer and Host

Senator Robert Casey, Jr. will give some insight into what’s happening with Climate Change and the political scene in DC and what we can do about it here at home in Philly. In his interview with Planet Philadelphia host, Kay Wood, he stressed not only the urgency of acting on climate change strongly, he also talked about it as a moral issue in line with Christian teaching. Senator Casey also talked about the growing effectiveness of acting locally that he’s witnessed in recent months.

Todd Rogers of Energy Training Solutions, an environmental educator and energy auditor for buildings, discussed a human-centered approach using group motivational strategies to lower the use of energy with Planet Philadelphia reporter, Linda Rosenwein. This approach contrasts with approaches that give information only, deliver external rewards such as bonuses, or focus on lowering costs. In mid-May, Todd was working in Philadelphia schools using this approach.

In her interview with Planet Philadelphia host, Kay Wood, Maya K. van Rossum, The Delaware Riverkeeper, asserts that FERC allows far too many pipelines to go ahead without real regulatory oversight while superseding landowners’ property rights. With their current practice they allow companies to use eminent domain to plow through fields, streams, and people’s rights to control their own property, and to enjoy clean water and a livable environment in their drive to ship more fracked gas over seas.
