As so much life is at risk, Caroline welcomes award-winning science journalist, Judith D Schwartz,

Judith Schwartz is an award-winning science journalist and leading voice in regenerative agriculture and ecological restoration. Her latest book, The Reindeer Chronicles, shares the inspiring stories of a passionate group of eco-restorers who are following nature’s lead to help revitalize some of the most degraded places on earth—and succeeding.

With the UN declaring the next 10 years as the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, Schwartz’s book will help raise awareness about the importance of regenerating natural systems to fight climate change. “Our natural systems are under great stress,” she says. “However, nature’s inclination is toward healing, and we can work with the logic of ecology to restore landscapes and waterways.”

He is founder and operator of Driftless Books and Music in Viroqua, WI; was a founding teacher at Youth Initiative High School; and has a radio show on community radio station WDRT every Sunday. He identifies as a rhizome, or a verb, depending on circumstances. He has been many other things also.”

Inviting into our world guiding sane reverence, that we may protect as much FloraFaunaFungi as possible…(that it may dissolve the cuckoo cartoon of cruel crackpot humanity)

Jerome McGeorge, fellow anarcho*astro*animist*enviro-farmer-wizard, co-founder of Organic Valley;

Jerome, a long-time ally of the Kogi in Columbia- with whom he spent much time, was chosen by them to be their guide on their first trip to America… October 20th – Nov 5th, 1999, sponsored by Organic Valley, an investigative mission of discovery; bringing messages of wisdom, warning, and mutual aid…
