Another Spring Equinox Enviro Show, 3/16, 6:30pm

March 12th, 2010 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. Breakout the scarlet eggs and round-up those hares, it’s almost time to celebrate Lady Day or the Festival of the Goddess Eostar. Our in-house pagans, Laura & Penny return to these microphones to explain the Rites of Spring. As usual we’ll also checkout the latest enviro news in the Echo Chamber and the local angle in our E-Valley-uation segment. Additionally, we present The Enviro Show Quote of the Week and Meet the New Boss, but first it’s time for…Revenge of the Critters! Speaking of the Spring bunny, let’s rewind the: Crazed hare attack!

In our Meet the New Boss segment it’s same old/same old as Lisa Jackson’s EPA fails us on several fronts. Clean water? Maybe not!. Carbon emissions as pollution? Maybe later. And finally this: Obama greenwashes nukes. Yes he can!

On to The Enviro Show Echo Chamber! Time for some good news, yes? Grist informed us months ago that properly sited wind power and a good grid really can free us from fossils. And this: Groups Oppose Tax Credits for Biomass Burning. Also from Grist: Big Oil’s astroturf efforts against so-called “energy taxes” features fake people! As it turns out, the “Americans” presented in the ad are stock photos from Getty Images. What? They can’t find real people to support them?? And finally, nitrous oxide in ocean dead zones are trashing the atmosphere. Will we die laughing?

The Endgame Enviro Show, Tues. 3/2, 6:30pm

February 25th, 2010 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. In keeping with our notoriety for gobs of gloom & doom here on The Enviro Show we get a call from Derrick Jensen, writer, activist, alarm-sounder and all around tree-hugging dirt-worshiper (hey! not unlike yours trulys!). We’ll be talking about some of his latest tomes like “What We Leave Behind” & “Endgame”. What? Not happy-clappy enough? Also, we delve into the latest enviro news in the old Echo Chamber, as well as in our E-Valley-uation segment; checkout The Enviro Show Quote of the Week; and visit the Bus Stop Billboard, but first it’s time for….Revenge of the Critters! You guessed it: captive Killer Whale lives up to its’ name. So why is it a captive again?

In our E-Valley-uation segment the BIG news is Vermont’s Senate voting not to extend VT Yankee’s funky old nuke an operating license beyond 2012. Don’t think for one minute that old leaky nuke doesn’t concern you here in the Valley. You are downwind and downstream and speaking of down: SHUT IT DOWN!

Greetings Earthlings. How about a New Years resolution (or should that be revolution?) to live simply so others can simply live? Jonathan & Susan von Ranson call-in to talk about their efforts in Wendell. As usual we wander into the Enviro Show Echo Chamber for some recent news.

In The Enviro Show Echo Chamber this op-ed in the New York Times reminds us that “To Save the Planet, [we must] Save the Seas!” (but watch that REDD hype!).

The Enviro Show Quote of the Week comes short & sweet from south of the border:

“If the climate were a bank, the US would have saved it.” – Hugo Chavez

The Save the Land Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. Will developers fill every last acre with condos, McMansions and malls? Carol Gray of the South Amherst Conservation Association joins us to talk about saving the former Rock Farm on South East Street in Amherst, an environmentally rich piece of land threatened by a proposed high density development of 17 luxury condos (just what Amherst needs: more condos!). The Globe spins in our E-Valley-uation segment and it’s Obama’s bad in “Meet the New Boss”. Also, The Enviro Show Echo Chamber defers to The Daily Show while the Quote of the Week gets dragged out from beneath the Wayback machine, but first it’s time for…… Revenge of the Critters! Leech attack. Gardeners beware! Better wear eye protection.
