Residents in a northern calfiornia community are attempting to change a controversial logging practice called hack and squirt, arguing it creates a fire hazard during the state’s 4th drought year.  The practice is employed by Mendocino Redwood Company, and organizers in Mendocino County, Calif. are working on an ordinance to reform the practice.  We discuss the practice, the potential fire hazard, and history of MRC’s majority stockholders, the Fisher family. 

What is sanity and how do people cope in today’s world, especially those diagnosed with mental health disorders?  Radical mental health, moves beyond “sickness” to embracing madness as part of life.  We discuss what it means and looks like to live with mental health and how art can be a natural medicine towards healing afflictions of the heart and mind.
