Today is Earth Day and we have a special "The Gary Null Show"

with great world guests discuss Earth. Here is a little about them:

Guest 1:

Dr.

Vandana Shiva is an internationally renowned environmental and social

activist and a leading pioneer behind India’s ecological and

eco-feminism movement. Dr. Shiva is the founder of Navdanya – an

organization dedicated to the restoration of organic farming across

India and the preservation of indigenous knowledge and culture. For

several decades, Vandana has fought for changes in agricultural

practices and food security. She has traveled the world speaking on

behalf of women’s rights and against biopiracy, globalization and

patenting of indigenous knowledge by large agricultural and

pharmaceutical corporations. Her activist efforts have created

grassroots organizations throughout the developing world to counter GMOs

and empower women. She has received numerous international awards,

including the Alternative Nobel Prize (the Right Livelihood Award), the

UNEP’s Global 500 Award and the UN’s Earth Day International Award. 

Among her many important books are “Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability and Peace” and most recently  “Staying Alive: Women, Ecology and Development”  Her websites are VandanaShiva.com and Navdanya.org

 Guest 2:

Derrick

Jensen has become one of the nation’s leading voices of cultural and

environmental dissent, who writes on how civilization is devastating the

environment and the natural world, and our society’s denial of that

fact. Utne Reader listed Derrick among the 50 visionaries changing the

world. In sharp contrast to environmental optimists who believe working

within the corporate system will offset the tenuous planetary balance

threatened by climate change, Derrick has advocated for many years a

“dismantling of civilization” which can include radical dissent as well

as imparting wisdom to our children.  Derrick has written many books including “The Derrick Jensen Reader: Writings on Environmental Revolution”  and his forthcoming “The Myth of Human Supremacy” will be released next month. He also hosts a weekly radio program, Resistance Radio, on the Progressive Radio Network every Sunday evening at 6:00 pm Eastern time.   His website is  www.DerrickJensen.org
