Greetings Earthlings. Of course it’s near Valentines Day and we’re here to tell you we love Brushy Mountain in Leverett and love the fact that it’s been saved from development….forever! Cinda Jones of W.D. Cowls & Kristin DeBoer, Executive Director of Kestrel Trust join us for the love fest. As usual we’ll also visit this week’s Fool-on-the-Hill, Meet the New Boss, and the Enviro Show Echo Chamber, as well as have a listen to the Quote of the Week, but first it’s time for….Revenge of the Critters! A post-Holidaze Special: it’s about those Christmas trees. Yes, we know trees aren’t critters, but are mold spoors?
This week’s Fool-on-the-Hill is last week’s Fool-on-the-Hill. House Speaker John Boehner and the Repugnican leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives announced plans last Thursday to cut all designated funding for mass transit. With any luck the House might throw Boehner under the bus, but we doubt it (we can dream though, right?…….O wait, which far-right nut job would replace him!). So what do you suppose is behind this latest far-right assault on mass transit? Could it be…….black helicopters! Many way off the rails Teabaggers think so!
