Greetings Earthlings. Believe it or not we’ve reached age 5 here on The Enviro Show. Yes, we have behavioral problems, but no, bed wetting is not one of them. The show turned 5 on August 26. We guess that makes us a Virgo and therefore: “fussy and a worrier; overcritical and harsh; perfectionist and (get this) CONSERVATIVE”! (OK, maybe not). Tom Neilson joins us in the studio for our Birthday bash. There will be cake….(well, it’s really corn bread)…for eveyone! Sorry, no burning candles allowed in the studio. Just because we’ll be partying doesn’t mean we’re asleep at the switch. Of course, there’s another more somber 5 year year anniversary taking place in New Orleans, isn’t there. We continue to update you on the ongoing BP Cover-up as well as hip you to other issues in The Enviro Show Echo Chamber and in our E-Valley-uation segment, but first it’s time for….Revenge of the Critters! We jump into the Wayback Machine to visit tiny jellyfish who kill you!

In the Enviro Show Echo Chamber we find that HuffPo has noted that Every New Hampshire Republican candidate for the Senate is a global warming denier. Well, like they say: live free or die! We’re not sure if our Repugnican Senator, Scott Brown is a climate crisis denier but he sure is pals with folks who are. Looks like folks in Boston have been shadowing Brown with the message that “climate change deniers belong in jail!”. Meanwhile, back in the Gulf it’s more science under siege. A BP sponsored study finds happy hungry microbes gobbling up oil plumes (like magic!), BUT that’s not what our own Woods Hole oceanographers found, is it! Speaking of finds: dead fish anyone? And this Enviro Show Blog Bonus: Help protect Sperm Whales in the Gulf! Finally, how about a 60 mile, weeks-long traffic jam? Better bring crayons for the kids. O, and guess what? It’s brought to you by King Coal!

In our E-Valley-uation segment we have a two-fer from the noertheast corner of the Valley. First, the news we didn’t get to last time: We noticed back on August 15 that the Sawmill River in Leverett had almost everything in it but….water! It’s Lake Wyola headwaters in Shutesbury, on the other hand, is topped off! What’s THAT about?? Then we head northward up the hill in Leverett to threatened wetlands by the Montague border.

In the Meet the New Boss segment our native son, Rep. Ed Markey takes the Administration’s minions to task for giving a pass to toxic seafood from the Gulf. Go Ed!

Of course, we’ll get into all sorts of B-Day hi jinks with Tom. Maybe Glen will bring his banjo and torture us with that for a spell. There’s also the chance we’ll have games like Pin the Tail on the Toady.

Then it’s on to the Bus Stop Billboard:

Saturday, Sept. 4th: Lafayette Park: 2 – 5pm. and Sunday, Sept. 5th: Washington Mall near Capitol Hill: 11am-4pm. Spill into Washington DC – Labor Day Weekend. A rally in the nation’s capital is crucial to gaining the lasting attention of law makers around the BP oil disaster. Email:lydiaajohnson@gmail.com or Phone: 402/708-2224.

New Fair policy is you need a wrist band to be in the street. We line up at 4:00 behind the Middle School and Blessed Sacrament Church on Federal St. The parade begins at 5:30 and we get to the fair grounds at about 7:30. You can march in any or all of the parade. The theme this year is “We Grow, We Sow, We Celebrate”. Use your imagination! Please make or bring signs (many lawn signs welcome) related to our effort and our success, bring visual aids, wear your favorite “no biomass” tee-shirt, or just come as you are. If you have muscial instruments–bring them and we can all play and march together.

Saturday, September 11,11:00 am – 1:00 pm. Explore the Montague Sand Plain. Come learn about the story of fire on the Montague Sand plain! Why is the landscape like Cape Cod, but the ocean is miles away? Now’s your chance to explore a unique habitat designed by fire and sand. Join the Great Falls Discovery Center for an introduction to the fauna, flora, and geology of this amazing and threatened habitat. Free but registration required. For more information call 413-863-3221

September 25-27. Appalachia Rising in Washington DC.

Greetings Earthlings. So, we supposedly have “The Rights of Man”, “Women’s Rights”, and “Civil Rights” (ok, ok, it’s a work in progress), how about The Rights of Nature? Ecuador wrote them into their constitution; in the U.S.? Not so much. Jeff Conant, Media Coordinator for Global Justice Ecology and author of “A Poetics of Resistance: The Revolutionary Public Relations of the Zapatista Insurgency” published by AK Press joins us to talk about it. We return once again to Meet the New Boss and scope out the Enviro Show Echo Chamber, as well as get to that George Carlin quote we dumped last time around, but first it’s time for….Revenge of the Critters! Toilet snake terrorizes Brits! (these things wouldn’t happen if they used composting toilets).

In our Meet the New Boss segment we find the Obama Administration playing fast & loose with the facts on the BP disaster. Also we checkout White House spokes, Robert Gibbs and the view from behind his rose colored glasses! O, don’t forget EPA’s Carol Browner (that’s not Greener is it?) doing the talk show rounds with news of “Mother Nature doing her part” to clean the Gulf! Thanks, Mom. Sorry about that f’ing mess.

In The Enviro Show Echo Chamber, Spike Lee weighs-in on BP. But hey, forget the “stars”, checkout the common folk at a town hall meeting near the Gulf. Sooo, where’s the oil that magically disappeared from the Gulf? All one has to do to find it is dig a little deeper! And this eye-opener from Mother Jones: BP Ocean Cover-up.

About that Enviro Show Quote of the Week: this time George Carlin REALLY returns from the grave to remind us:

“I look at it this way… For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers… so when nature strikes back, and smacks him on the head and kicks him in the nuts, I enjoy that. I have absolutely no sympathy for human beings whatsoever. None. And no matter what kind of problem humans are facing, whether it’s natural or man-made, I always hope it gets worse.”

In our E-Valley-uation segment we find Eight local women being arrested at Vermont Yankee….again! And this: Biodiesel plant breaks ground in Greenfield (we’ll have excerpts from the Montague Reporter version of the story).

Following our interview with Jeff Conant we wander off to the Bus Stop Billboard:

Friday, August 20, 8:00 – 9:30 am. Early Morning Nature Walk. Participants will meet outside the main entrance to the Great Falls Discovery Center in Turners Falls at 8 a.m. Learn about plants, animals, and mill town history along the Bike Path of Turners Falls.

Sunday, August 22, 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. Great Falls Birding Trip. 1st Local Birding Trip with Mark Fairbrother! Depending on weather will cover Gill-Montague area. Meet at the GFDC. Call 413.863.3221

Wednesday, August 25, 6:30pm. IN MORTAL HANDS: A CAUTIONARY HISTORY OF THE NUCLEAR AGE. Talk and Book signing with author Stephanie Cooke. Centre Congregational Church, Main Street, Brattleboro, VT Call: Nancy Braus 802-254-8160 (work) or 802-380-3363 (cell).

Thursday, Sept 9. Franklin County Fair Parade. No Nukes contingent. Biomess contingent? Downtown Greenfield, MA

September 25-27. Appalachia Rising in Washington DC. A national response to the poisoning of America’s water supply, the destruction of Appalachia’s mountains, head water source streams, and communities through mountaintop removal coal mining. Email: Massachusetts Contact: Rana Xavier at shoot.rana.x@gmail.com or appalachiarising092710@gmail.com. Go to: http://appalachiarising.org/

That should keep you busy, but remember to take time to listen to your Mother. Next time it’s our Birthday Party and YOU are invited. Cake & ice cream for everyone!

Greetings Earthlings. After four back-to-back depressing shows on the BP Gulf disaster we thought we’d shift gears a bit and look for some simple solutions to living with Big Oil and the corporados. With that in mind, Jim Merkel calls-in with some info on Radical Simplicity. We visit the Enviro Show Echo Chamber just in case you really CAN’T get enough of that miserable news from the Gulf and we’ll make a pit stop in our E-Valley-uation segment to catch-up on the Biomess. Also, more words of wisdom in our Enviro Show Quote of the Week and a flashback surprise, but first it’s time for….Revenge of the Critters! Italian bird poacher attacked by his own victim.

In The Enviro Show Echo Chamber, in case you had any doubts, the scientific proof is in: Researchers confirm subsea Gulf oil plumes are from the BP well, surprise! And….more oil where no one wants it! In The Gulf, in Michigan, in China, in Nigeria, another BP one in Alaska, and around the world! Meanwhile, actions in response to BP’s sins are taking place in San Francisco and during the 100 Days of Outrage! Where’s western Mass?? Asleep at the….umm…pump? BTW, it might not shock you that the National Wildlife Federation and NOAA are not on the same page regarding the damage done.

“No Body Knows Nothin’”, by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band & friends takes us to our E-Valley-uation segment where it’s time for more on the Biomess! Checkout the comments on the Manomet study hearing in Springfield last Wednesday here.

Then we get back into the Wayback Machine for a loooong trip this time to The Enviro Show Quote of the Week:

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. ~Leonardo DaVinci

And this: He’s baaaaaack! Yes, Darth Cheney lives on with the help of medical science and who knows, Satan maybe??

Greetings Earthlings. Had enough of THE worst environmental disaster in U.S. history? Think it’s over? Imagine if you were an oyster with no where to go! Jennifer Seavey returns to these microphones with tales from the depths of despair. She’s doing post doc at the University of Florida, examining oysters in the Gulf of Mexico. We’ll look into some more of BP’s nefarious deeds and such like in The Enviro Show Echo Chamber, checkout the Quote of The Week, and perhaps venture into our E-Valley-uation segment, but first it’s time for…..Revenge of the Critters! Are you ready for this? Amelia Earhart attacked by crabs!. Now we know.

This time The Enviro Show Quote of the Week comes from in-house. It’s D.O.’s tirade…er…we mean commentary on the BP disaster: Where’s Big Green?

In the Enviro Show Echo Chamber we find our friends at Ocean River Institute calling on Obama to federalize the Gulf clean-up. And this from the Huffington Post: BP trying to buy scientists! Also from Huff: George Lakoff on Conservatism’s Death Gusher (actually George, they’re not conservatives in the real sense ‘cuz they don’t CONSERVE!).

“Wash up over me” by Ethan Miller & Kate Boverman takes us to our E-Valley-uaton segment it’s excellent news on the Biomess front: Another victory in Massachusetts!. Sorry Madera Energy, looks like your shrinking and your flying monkeys have morphed. What a world! What a world! O, by the way, Biomess warriors took their case to DC. Read all about it here.

After our call-in interview with Jennifer we’ll stroll over to the old Bus Stop Billboard:

Wednesday, July 20, 10:30 am: New England Climate Summer bicyclists are in town! They’ll be visiting Garden the Community folks at 10:30 and we’re planning other events with them. More to come (see Thursday)!

Wednesday, July 28, 6:00-8:00pm. Massachusetts Biomass Policy Development Public Meeting. Holyoke Community College. Leslie Philips Auditorium (Building C)303 Homestead Avenue,Holyoke. Call 617-626-7327

August 10th, 12 Noon. Rally at Rep. Neal’s office, 300 State St., Springfield. Get corporate dollars out of Washington! Sign the Pledge! Sponsored by MoveOn.org.

Saturday, August 14 The Vermont Citizens Action Network will host a potluck dinner at the Organ Barn at Tree Frog Farm in Guilford, Vermont. Call 413-625-6177 for reservations.

Greetings Earthlings. The saga continues: the catastrophic BP oil well blowout is transforming the Gulf of Mexico into some kind of futuristic end-of-times disaster film. Guess what? It’s not a movie (though there’s plenty enough footage on YouTube to make you sad/crazy/mad!) Take your pick: Toxic Oil Spill Rains on Crops?; It’s raining oil?; Surf on Pensacola Beach boiling like acid? BP disaster unstoppable?; or, our favorite: the End of the World! While you are at it, checkout our Enviro Show Banish BP! page and kick BP out of the Valley. Diane Wilson, fisher, activist, hell-raiser calls in to mull over these and more (unless, of course, she’s in jail for one of her many actions, in which case, Scott Eustis rejoins us from New Orleans). Also, Katie McGonagle of the local Climate Summer bike ride calls in with an update. As always, we wander into The Enviro Show Echo Chamber and maybe our Meet the New Boss segment, as well as checkout the Enviro Show Quote of the week, but first it’s time for….

Revenge of the Critters! Direct action in West Palm Beach by a “crazy bird”! Given what’s going on down there, maybe it’s not so crazy!

In The Enviro Show Echo Chamber, speaking of direct action, if YOU want to go down to New Orleans and help out, call The Emergency Committee to Stop the Gulf Oil Disaster at (504)644-7214 or email them at stopgulfoildisaster@gmail.com. Also, several protests are in the works. Most notably: Spill onto the Washington Mall, Labor Day weekend, September 4 to 6 and Rally @ BP Headquarters! 4101 Winfield Road, Warrenville, IL on Monday, July 19, 10am to 3pm. Our Enviro Show Blog Bonus concerns oil too (surprise!). Checkout The Video BP & Big Oil Don’t Want You to See. Finally, about erecting those giant windmills next to the Great Atlantic Flyway?

The Enviro Show Quote of the Week comes from Albert Einstein: “A human being is part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole [of] nature in its beauty.”

In our Meet the New Boss segment we rewind to the last show where time ran out for…..um…the boss? Seize BP responds to Obama’s speech from the Oval Office on the BP’s crime against the planet.

Following our interview with either Diane or Scott, we venture over to the Bus Stop billboard to see what’s happening in the area:

Thursday, July 8, 7 p.m. Vermont Public Service Board Hearing RESCHEDULED. Brattleboro Union High School, Fairgrounds Rd, Brattleboro, VT. Call 413 339-5781

Call 413-584-3158

Friday July 16 – 18. Solarfest. The Northeast’s premier renewable energy and arts festival—a three-day, family-friendly festival that combines world-class entertainment with not-to-be-missed workshops in renewable energy, sustainability and community engagement. http://www.solarfest.org/

Monday, July 19, 10:00am – 3:00pm. Rally at BP Headquarters! 4101 Winfield Road, Warrenville, IL. Contact: rebecca.rose.baird@gmail.com

Sunday July 25 – August 8. Earth Activist Training. To teach visionary and practical solutions and personal sustainability to social change activists, and to teach practical skills, organizing and activism to visionaries EarthActivistTraining(at)gmail.com

Enough! Maybe next time we’ll have some good news to report? For now, remember to listen to your Mother (don’t you wish everyone did?).

Greetings Earthlngs. It’s that time of year again: Summer Solstice, time for the fire festival. Happy Midsummer Eve! Our in-house pagans, Laura & Penny return to (ahem!) enlighten us all. Also, roving reporter (and Bardic Insurgent) Tom Neilson calls in from the U.S. Social Forum. And, a call from Mike Howells, an activist from New Orleans with his finger on the pulse of what’s going on with grassroots response to BP’s crimes against the planet. As always, we’ll scope out the news in The Enviro Show Echo Chamber, as well as locally in our E-Valley-uation segment where we introduce (fanfare please) our very first Annual Enviro Show Big Green Clear Cutters Award!, but first, it’s time for……Revenge of the Critters! Gardeners beware! It’s the Attack of the Killer Mutant Leek Moths!

OK Enviro Show fans, let’s get right to it: here in our E-Vally-uation segment we present the Annual Enviro Show Big Green Clear Cutters Award! This award goes to out to someone who professes to be “green”, but who actually is a sort of mottled crud gray with brown streaks. OK? Are you ready? The envelope please…………this years Annual Enviro Show Big Green Clear Cutters Award goes to the Massachusetts Sierra Club’s Elisa Campbell!! Elisa is receiving the award for her recent vote at the Quabbin Watershed Advisory Committee to continue clearcutting in the Quabbin watershed. What’s that you say? The same Elisa Campbell of Mass. Sierra who is a proponent of nukes and developments? You are correct! Now for the VERY good news on our local Biomess: Manomet Study confirms activists warning: Biomass incineration worse than coal! (OK, so the Post story says zip about about activists but……WE TOLD YOU SO!)

“Oil and water don’t mix” by Recycleman & the Dumpster Divers takes us to the Enviro Show Echo Chamber where Robert Reich reminds us that BP is not a person (you know, like D.O. is?….sort of?). And this:….Big Oil eats its young: BP thrown under the bus. However, Big Oil’s friend Rep. Joe Barton fell all over himself to….are you ready? apologize to BP! No apologies from Diane Wilson though; she got in BP honcho, Tony Hayward’s face at those hearings in DC. Also, remember the International Whaling Commission is meeting to discuss the resumption of whaling? (can you believe these people??). Why not be one one in a million and say NO WAY! Finally, speaking of driving critters to extinction, how about defending the lions!

In our Meet the New Boss segment the group, Seize BP responds to Obama’s speech from the Oval Office on the BP/Haliburton crime against the planet. Also, checkout our own Rachel Maddow’s fake president speech to the nation!

Then it’s on to the Bus Stop Billboard:

June 22-26. U.S. SOCIAL FORUM , Detroit. The US Social Forum is a very special kind of gathering. It isn’t a conference with an agenda and a program of events; it’s a convergence of movements, communities, and cultures whose participants produce their own agenda and programs. It is a MOVEMENT BUILDING process. It is a space to come up with peoples’ solutions to the economic and ecological crisis. Info: http://www.ussf2010.org.

Kennedy Middle School (Cafeteria)?, 1385 Berkshire Avenue ,?Indian Orchard.
