Our guest this week is Dr. Gordon Edwards, founder and president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility. Gordon has been on the program several times before to provide his expertise on this or that current nuclear issue in Canada, but we decided it was time to hear from him why he does what he does. So be more specific, we asked him how he came to be an anti-nuclear activist?

Josh Schlossberg is the editor of the Biomass Monitor, a page that follows the less understood news around Biomass Energy. Biomass Energy has largely been given a pass as "green" by environmentalists, but should it?

Mary Evelyn Tucker is a Senior Lecturer and Research Scholar at Yale University where she has appointments in the School of Forestry, Environmental Studies and the Department of Religious Studies. Mary Evelyn joins us to dig deeper into the contents and impact of Pope Francis' Encyclical.

Finally Stefan read us a short piece he wrote inspired by the recent "Jobs, Justice Climate" rally that saw 10,000+ people flood downtown Toronto last weekend called "An Ode To Climate Trolls".

Jonathan Silver wasn't content to just keep all the wonderful living architecture in Toronto to himself, so he's made a free map called "The Living Architecture Tour" so that others can enjoy this wonderful trend in building too.

In the second half, Stefan and Daryn discuss some of the environmental platform announcement by Canadian political parties as the country gears up for what promises to be an exciting (and probably messy) federal election in Oct.
