  • GaiaGram #150 Environmental Headlines from around a planet in crisis.
    This GaiaGram marks the 150th edition in the series. A lot has changed over the four years of airing these environmental headlines. I started producing them to alert us to the increasing amount of negative events that are inexorably changing planet earth and to hopefully get those of you who hear these stories to collectively get off your rear ends and do something about it. This is the time of year we celebrate Earth Day. I would hope that we all may make every day Earth day and in whatever small way change the way we conduct our individual lives to save the planet, as we have known it, for future generations to enjoy. I produce GaiaGram for my children and grandchildren. Please share if you care.

    My guest now is Craig Floyd. Craig has been here on DITD several times before.

Craig is retiring from running the Giving Garden in Stonington CT., which grows tons of wholesome food and gives it away.
