- Episode 14: Reducing Plastic Pollution in OaklandIn this episode, we discuss proposed legislation to drastically reduce plastic pollution in Oakland, CA. As demand decreases for fossil fuels as a power source, we're seeing that the production of plastics is actually *increasing*. But California is pushing back. Oakland is working to become the next city to limit food and beverage containers currently choking our San Francisco Bay. As a member of Reusable Oakland, our guest explains the proposed city ordinance, why we need it, and the personal story of why he works so passionately on this issue.Guest: Kwok Chan, co-chair of Climate Reality Bay Area's Alameda County Policy SquadSee a photo of our guest at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mKShqSuyvkox1NPsoqje5Wsq5qVLsjfN/view?usp=sharingGreat Guest Quote: “We think we can participate actively in plastic waste reduction by limiting the use of disposable single-use food service ware.”Host: Dalya MassachiTranscript HERE: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F8ZFL4Rd-muJxau1EvgR-wsE8Z6RbeXs5Wl3VYTehzw/edit?usp=drive_linkRelated Websites:Climate Reality Bay Area’s Alameda County Policy Action Squad’s email newsletter signup: [email protected]Stop Waste’s Model Legislation on Food Service Packaging Reduction and Reuse: https://www.stopwaste.org/resource/stopwaste-model-ordinance-for-food-service-packaging-reduction-and-reuseEnvironmental Protection Agency list of high-priority toxic chemicals: https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/ongoing-and-completed-chemical-risk-evaluations-underUnited Nations Environment Programme document on marine litter and plastic pollution: https://www.unep.org/resources/pollution-solution-global-assessment-marine-litter-and-plastic-pollutionThe Ecology Center can help you reuse your containers by refilling them with household products.

In this episode, we talk to Ravinder Sehgal, Board Member of the San Francisco Veg Society and biology professor at San Francisco State University. We learn about why and how eating more plant-based food can decrease our negative impact on the climate. We discuss deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, misuse of energy, land and water, and more. Ravinder also shares easy, everyday tips and recommendations for how to adopt a more Earth-friendly diet.
Great Guest Quote: “If people reduce the amount of animals they eat, I believe slowly we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere, and improve the climate.”

16 min - Episode 11: Music as a Voice for Climate Action (song excerpts included!)
In this 15-minute episode, we hear from songwriter Pete Kronowitt of the Face the Music Collective and Music Declares Emergency U.S. We also listen to excerpts of three engaging climate activist songs he is associated with. (Hint: prepare to rock!) He’s organizing a campaign for one of the songs, “I Wanna be Cool,” to be released in late 2023. Pete aims to have a large number of kids sing the chorus and simultaneously make a commitment to take at least one effective climate action.
Great Guest Quote: “Using the creative process can connect people in different ways. There's something about art that builds community.”
