When it comes to the environment, there are some people who understand the need for conservation and others that won’t until they have a personal reason why they need to. Then there are those who are really not sure what to do because they just don’t get it. In the book, Beautiful and Abundant, Building The World That We Want, author, Bryan Welch points out that “we are the only species that can conceptualize its own impact on its habitat” and actually do something about it. The big question remains, how exactly do we achieve this? Do we need to go back to living in a cave in order to evolve as human beings? (Of course not!) We need to do things smarter, conserve the existing resources that we have while we figure out how to use available untapped resources as we work towards cleaning up the mess we have created as a species. Bryan Welch offers a great deal of food for thought with his suggestion that we should envision the world we want to live in as a successful existence before we begin to take the necessary steps in order to create it. The key thus lies within our attitude. We need to begin with a shift in our focus. If we had a positive attitude and thought about the possibilities, we could achieve so much more. However, with so much of the planet at war, how can people with different belief systems, cultures and backgrounds work together to achieve this? How can businesses find the balance between profitability and conscientious business practices? Can we actually create an abundant world that is truly sustainable? How can we even fathom being able to create enough food for a rapidly growing population while we are running out of resources? In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Bryan Welch to discuss his best-selling book and how we can all work together to achieve sustainability. Stay tuned!

When most people go away for the weekend, they come back with great memories of the things they did, the people they saw, etc, etc. What if you went away for the weekend and came home with a new friend? However, there is just one slight detail about this friend that might be a bit difficult for you to explain. It just so happens that this friend is actually the spirit of an African-American nanny that has been stuck in her home for the last 150 years! For someone like J.H. Soeder, this was a very interesting situation because although he had been communicating with spirits since he was a child, he never had one that was stuck in a different time. This certainly was a challenge! In the book, Haddie’s In Our Closer, J.H. Soeder talks about his unusual friendship with a spirit named Haddie. The relationship was not unusual because she was a spirit but because she was stuck in a time when white men did not befriend slaves and treat them as equals. J.H. has the unique opportunity of enlightening Haddie about how much the world has changed as well as helping her to “make the decision” to move on. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to award winning author and famed animal communicator, J.H. Soeder about his latest inspirational book which is about friendship, family and enlightenment. This will really open your eyes about what Hollywood tells us about the spirit world and the huge difference about what the true reality is.

Glyphosate is the most commonly used herbicide and is also one of the most controversial. Professor Don M. Huber has done extensive research warning that the widespread use of glyphosate has a negative environmental impact. This impact not only affects the soil and plants but can possibly affect the health of animals and human beings. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Professor Don M. Huber to discuss his research. Stay tuned!

As we rapidly run out of precious fossil fuels, there is a huge demand to explore other options as quickly as possible, especially due to the increasing cost of energy. There is a highly controversial debate about a process called hydrofracking. It is a method of extracting natural gas from shale. This is especially a heated topic in Upstate, New York, the home of the Catskill Mountains. This natural gas which is embedded deep underground beneath Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Ohio is said to be enough to supply the East Coast for up to 50 years. So why can’t we just go along and drill, baby, drill? There are a myriad of reasons, especially one main reason, potential ground water contamination. This would not only pollute drinking water but the thousands of eco systems dependent upon the drinking water. However, there are others that feel that the verdict is still out and before the actual facts are in, we should explore it regardless. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Dr. Sandra Steingraber about what you need to know about fracking.

With the consistent decline of our bee populations, it is important that people everywhere do their part in order to create food sources for bees as well as all pollinators.

It is amazing how many people get cancer and simply succumb to the disease. For Fred Ho, he decided to take a different approach and choose to live his life and demonstrate to others that there is life during chemo. He teaches us that to live life to the fullest, you should live in a perfect state of presence which is more meaningful as opposed to simply living in a perfect state of health. After being diagnosed with cancer for the fourth time, Fred chooses to follow a raw food diet as opposed to allowing the doctors to operate and remove his rectum. This is something his doctor discourages but Fred, who is determined to try things quite differently. In Diary of a Radical Cancer Warrior, Fred discusses his battle intimately. Like all great warriors from Sun Tzu to Bruce Lee, Fred chose to write his astonishing cancer memoir as a diary, acknowledging that all the greatest warriors wrote daily diaries because warfare against a most formidable enemy will be won, ultimately, on the philosophical level. His diary will make you laugh, will make you cry and will make you wonder what part do the big chemical corporations play in making so many people like Fred, get so sick. Fred leads by example as he demonstrates his will to fight, even during some of the most physically painful moments of his life. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Fred Ho. Stay tuned!

Throughout October,industry leaders, educators and activists have combined efforts to further enlighten the public advocating mandatory GMO labeling. While the big agro-chemical companies continue to spread propaganda insisting that GM crops are good for the environment, the manufacturers of conventional foods are scrambling knowing that once mandatory labeling has been enforced, consumers will not purchase foods made with GMO’s. “If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it.” – Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994 However, there is still a great need for education as the mud-slinging continues with the creation of clever manipulative and misleading surveys that are being published conveying a false message that consumers approve of GMO’s. It appears that this may be the case with an opinion survey conducted in Boulder County Colorado which was initiated by the Boulder County Parks and Open Space Division. Opinion surveys are frequently misused to influence opinion rather than assess it. This type of propagandizing is to be expected as more people become educated as far as the devastating impact of GMO’s not only on the environment but on their health. Thanks to efforts such as The Right2KnowMarch.org, the message is reaching the masses. One of the key speakers involved with the march is activist Anna Lappé. Ms. Lappé is a widely respected author and educator, renowned for her work as a sustainable food advocate. Ms. Lappe is a founding principal of the Small Planet Institute and the Small Planet Fund and has for more than a decade been a key force in the growing international movement for sustainability and justice in the food chain. Stay tuned as host, June Stoyer talks to Anna Lappe about the politics of GMO’s.

Thanks to smart phones and computers, with just a few simple clicks, information is easily accessible to consumers providing easy access to every resource available. However, this is not the case when it comes to our food. When you take a closer look, clarity is not pretty! Would you knowingly buy your favorite box of cereal if you knew it contained ingredients that could have a negative impact on your health? Of course not! However, in the United States, food manufacturers are not required by law to specify whether or not the ingredients in the products they sell contain or are made with genetically engineered ingredients. It is up to the conscious consumer to investigate the company, find out what certifications they have, what country they are sourcing ingredients from and if they are producing in an ethical manner. In other words, buyer beware. In order for a consumer to really know what is in the product they are about to buy, they must be able to clearly read everything in the product on the label. Unfortunately, until this is mandated, manufacturers will continue to sell their products as is to uninformed consumers that don’t understand the impacts of GMO’s. Michael Potter, the CEO of Eden Foods is someone who has been a long term advocate of the organic industry and is also fighting for food clarity through the mandatory labeling of GMO’s. Eden’s certified organic foods are non-gmo verified and a household staple for millions of consumers in America. Clearly, this is something people are demanding. So, why are the non-organic companies fighting against GMO Labeling? What would this mean for their market share? Would consumers opt not to buy GE laden foods if they knew? In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Michael Potter, President of Eden Foods will be on the show to discuss the impact of GMO labeling. Stay tuned!
