In her new lawsuit, which was filed in Calhoun County District Court, Wilson alleged numerous violations of public notice requirements.” – Inside Climate News Hellcat: The True Story of an Unreasonable Texas Waterkeeper [Vimeo] PDF: San Antonio Bay Estuarine Waterkeeper Challenges Four New Nuclear Reactors and Forever Radioactive Waste in Calhoun County   *Woof*Woof*Wanna*Play?!?* · www.CoyoteNetworkNews.com · The Visionary Activist Show on Patreon The post The Visionary Activist Show – Hell Cat!

Cooling out the conflagration: Caroline welcomes the return of Diana Beresford Kroeger, and her latest book, “Our Green Heart – The Soul and Science of Forests” Offered as a KPFA pledge enticement … “Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a world recognized author, medical biochemist, botanist and climate change visionary. She possesses a unique understanding of modern western science and ancient Celtic knowledge. Orphaned in Ireland in her youth, Beresford-Kroeger was educated by her Irish elders who instructed her in the Brehon knowledge of plants and nature. Told at a young age that one day she would need to bring this ancient Celtic knowledge to a troubled future, Beresford-Kroeger has done exactly that. Diana has been working to preserve the environment since the early 1960s when she identified climate change as one of the most important challenges we would face in the modern age. This set her on a course of rigorous scientific study where she achieved a masters in botany and two PHD’s – one in biochemistry and the other in biology.” The new book as described by her editor, Anne Collins at Random House Canada: “In a nutshell, these essays show us all the many ways we are bound for our survival to one another and to the natural world, bound from the atomic level to the planetary one. The simple message is to listen hard to the trees, which hold the cheapest, least intrusive means of ameliorating climate change there is: they are our lungs, our oxygen, and as Diana said in one of her blunter moments on the phone with me, our best means to stop ****ing everything up so our children and grandchildren will survive. Each essay show us a slice of the natural world, with all its wonders, through her unique lens, which stresses the way our health (individually and as a species) is tied to the health of the forest around us—a tie materialism and greed and ignorance tries hard to ignore, with dire and unfolding consequences.”   calloftheforest.ca dianaberesford-kroeger.com/about-diana The post The Visionary Activist Show – The Soul and Science of Forests appeared first on KPFA.
