Do you know where plastic garbage actually goes? It not only fills our landfills, but so much ends up in our oceans. Dr. Marcus Eriksen is on the show today to discuss the film, “Our Synthetic Seas,” which covers the total issue about plastic and the garbage found in our seas and especially the problem of disappearing sea life as fish are now eating plastic, waste, debris, and more dangerous materials.  This will severely impact both the fish and ultimately us. Marcus Eriksen is currently the Executive Director of the 5 Gyres Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Science Education from University of Southern California in 2003, months before embarking on a 2000-mile, 5-month journey down the Mississippi River on a homemade raft of plastic bottles. His experience on the river led to a career studying the ecological impacts of plastic marine pollution, which has included 8 expeditions sailing 25,000 miles through all 5 subtropical gyres to discover new garbage patches of plastic pollution in the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. With an affinity for rafting, his most recent adventure sent him and a colleague across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii on a homemade raft floating on 15,000 plastic bottles and a Cessna airplane fuselage as a cabin. The journey, 2,600 miles in 88 days, brought tremendous attention to the plastic pollution issue.  Info: algalita.org and marcuseriksen.com

 Do you know there’s a “secret key” to unlock the best place for you to thrive? It can be done by astrology! Three dimensions can be explored by astrology which can be accessed via three questions: what, when, and where. Most people just have their birth chart done. But Astrocartography works with the “where” dimension or Astrology of Location. It’s often overlooked, but plays an important role in either our success or failure to thrive. Guest Scott Wolfram is an expert in this type of astrology and is on the show today to explain its merits. Wolfram’s personal journey and passion as an astrologer involve exploring the soul’s journey and learning how to move in harmony with the sun, moon, and stars. In his teens, he met his guru Swami Rama of the Himalayas and also began studying astrology. In 2003, Scott established The Traveler’s Well Astrology and attained certifications as an Evolutionary Astrologer in Astro*Carto*GraphyTM by Continuum and in 2004 by Jeffrey Wolf Green.  Info: astrologyoflocation.com
