Greetings Earthlings. You may recall our previous shows on rodenticide poisoning leading to tragic deaths of key predators. This time Laura Kiesel of Save Arlington Wildlife joins us to discuss a petition to "the Pesticide Board Subcommittee of the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to immediately suspend the registrations of all anticoagulant rodenticide products and conduct an individual review of their active ingredients". Let's end the slaughter, OK?

The Enviro Show Quote of the Week is spot on for this show:

“We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves.”

— Cesar Chavez

Greetings Earthlings. You may recall we recently featured the potential logging threat in the Green Mountain National Forest with our friend Zack Porter of Standing Trees ? Well, Zack is back this time with Standing Trees active member Jerry Curran. We'll be looking at a similar mindless threat to the neighboring White Mountains National Forest in New Hampshire. The U.S. Forest Service (who actually only serve the logging industry) continues business-as-usual with mind-numbing climate crimes across the nation.

Our Enviro Show Quote of the Week comes from on of our own in Massachusetts:

"We need new and old trees, solar panels and forests, dense housing and accessible green space."

- Sen. Ed Markey introducing the recent Trees as a Public Good Earth Day forum.

Greetings Earthlings. Spring is upon us and the days are getting longer, more daytime to resist The Machine! Those corporados and their enablers are planning yet more deforestation for corporate solar arrays and associated explosive battery siting here in the Commonwealth and across the nation. The struggle for smarter siting continues. Sharon Weizenbaum of Smart Solar Shutesbury returns to the show joined by Eric S Bachrach of Smart Solar Amherst.

Our Enviro Show Quote of the Week is right in line with this week's show:

“What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.”

- Chris Maser

A Coming Home Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. We follow-up our Earth Days activities with an Earth-based story that warms the heart and stirs the soul. Rob Edward, president of the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund joins us to talk about the reintroduction of wolves to Colorado. Some humans wiped them out, other humans brought them back. How's that going? Stay tuned. But now it's time for........Revenge of the Critters! More on the Elephants' Revenge.

Our Enviro Show Quote of the Week is in keeping with our interview:

We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.

- Aldo Leopold

Greetings Earthlings. Happy Earth Week! Back in the day, both Girl & Boy Scouts had the motto "Be Prepared" but today the Girl Scouts have apparently replaced that motto with The Girl Scout Law which includes "use resources wisely" & "make the world a better place". Our guests on the show this week have done that and way more, they saved a forest with mature & old-growth trees! Sounds like they were more than prepared, yes? Us elders would love to do that here in Massachusetts but our time is running short (can you hear us @MassDCR @MassGovernor & @MassEEA ? ) No? Better think twice, the scouts are watching! How about all those #ClimateGoals ?? More on that later. As always we will bring you along to meet this week's Fool-on-the-Hill and to see Those Whose Brains Were Small, as well as our constant reminder that "It's the Climate Crisis, Stupid!" but first it's time for......Revenge of the Critters!

Greetings Earthlings. With April Fools in mind we, once again, bring news of the National Forest Service's (NFS) duplicity with regard to our public lands, especially their ill-conceived plans to log tens of thousands of acres in the Green Mountain National Forest just over the Massachusetts border in Vermont. Zack Porter, Executive Director of Standing Trees returns to the show for an update. As always, we will also introduce you to this week's Fool-on-the-Hill and Those Whose Brains are Small, as well as some Abidin' with Biden and yet another reminder that "It's the Climate Crisis, Stupid!".

Greetings Earthlings & Happy Spring Equinox which takes place between March 19-22 in the Northern Hemisphere. Ostara will not be pleased that the U.S. Forest Service's ‘timber target’ decisions (their words not ours) is putting the climate at risk, undermining Biden's critical climate goals, and violating federal law. Surprise! That according to the Southern Environmental Law Center (and why would we doubt it given USFS' sorry history). Patrick Hunter, Managing Attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center joins us to talk about SELC's new, first-of-its-kind lawsuit. If you'd like to comment on the proposed logging in the Green Mountain National Forest just over the MA border go HERE. As always, we will also bring you this week's Fool-on-the-Hill and "Those Whose Brains Were Small.." as well as The Enviro Show Echo Chamber and more, but first it's time for.......Revenge of the Critters!

Greetings Earthlings. Once again we are coming up to that time of year when tyrants everywhere need to watch their backs because of their sins. We can think of more than a few such sins to attribute to His Malignancy The Mad King but what about those who trash the planet for fun & profit? Meg Sheehan & Katherine Harrelson of Community Land & Water  returns to the show for the latest from the Sand Wars, the rape of The Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens and the threats to the environment by the “Cranberry Cosa Nostra.”  As always, we will also bring you along to meet this week's Fool-on-the-Hill and Those Whose Brains Were Small, and more but first it's time for......Revenge of the Critters!

Greetings Earthlings. Presidents Day starts the week off and we're hoping you'll stick with the one we have and not go with the one who will destroy near everything in the USA. Yes, His Malignancy The Mad King is creeping around in the wings again (when he's not in court for 91 counts in four criminal cases), hoping to slither into the White House home base before being dragged off to prison. We're hoping for the latter and thus, Abidin' with Biden regardless of just about anything. Our guest this week is MA Sierra Club organizer Celeste Venolia who will discuss MA Sierra Club's Forest Protection Team's efforts in their Watershed Forest Subcommittee.

Greetings Earthlings. As you may know, The Enviro Show was founded by two Earth First! malcontents long ago and now and then you may have heard us go on about the importance of direct action in the struggle to literally save the planet. Sometimes we may even grumble about the need for such actions now at this critical time in the Earth's history. Enter Climate Defiance, a kickass group of younger activists whose motto is "We are young. We are livid. We are no longer willing to be disposable." Martin Gioannetti of Climate Defiance joins us to bring it all home. As always, we will also bring you along to meet this week's Fool-on-the-Hill and Those Whose Brains are Small, as well as some potential Abidin' with Biden and more, but first it's time for.......Revenge of the Critters!
