The act of composting ensures that food scraps and green waste are never wasted, but returned to enrich the soil. It sequesters carbon, and helps to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from landfills. Furthermore, it also enriches the community, creating cooperative human networks, inclusive spaces, and green jobs. We had Michael Martinez, Founder and Executive Director of @lacompost on our @ecojusticeradio_ show to illustrate how composting should and can be available to everyone (no matter if you are in an apartment or single family home). We explore how his organization has grown a successful urban composting model by developing spaces and collaborations with a wide variety of partners including the community, nonprofits, business, and city departments.

n his book “An Afro-Indigenous History of the United States,” Kyle T. Mays, Assistant Professor of African American Studies, American Indian Studies, and History at UCLA, argues that the foundations of the United States are rooted in Anti-Black racism and settler colonialism, and that these parallel oppressions continue today. Speaking with EcoJustice Radio, he explores how Black and Indigenous peoples (sometimes together, sometimes apart) have always sought to disrupt, dismantle, and reimagine US democracy. He uses examples of the Black Power and Red Power movements of the 60s and 70s, as well as collaborations for the Standing Rock Sioux and Black Lives Matter. Dr. Mays’ work seeks to illuminate how we can imagine and put into practice a more just world. Kyle T. Mays is an Afro-Indigenous (Saginaw Chippewa) writer and scholar of US history, urban studies, race relations, and contemporary popular culture at the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Mays is an author of 3 books. “An Afro-Indigenous History of the United States” is available @beaconpress LISTEN on podcast - check the link in bio! Guest: Kyle T.

The Joshua tree is an icon and ecological keystone of the California deserts. However, climate disruption with hotter, drier summers and more frequent brush fires, threatens that some day soon Joshua Tree National Park will no longer have any Joshua trees. We discuss these systems and investigate what solutions are needed. Are solar farms in the desert an appropriate renewable energy solution, or do they cause more harm than good? What about the consequences of lithium mining in Death Valley for electric vehicles? Did you know it is not a wise idea to grow your own Joshua Tree from imported seeds? Our guest, James Cornett, is an ecologist, author, and principal biologist at JWC Ecological Consultants. He is one of the West's most prolific writers with more than forty-four books published as of 2021. As former Director of Natural Sciences at the Palm Springs Desert Museum, he continues to share his love of natural history through writing, teaching, and lecturing. He is the first professional naturalist to have visited all nine of the world's great deserts and is writing a book on his travels and research in each.

Having #earthday fun with @matt_sedillo gracing us with his bracing spoken word poetry. In Downtown Los Ángeles with @xrebellionla @socal.350

Here’s to the #Easter witches of Sweden who fly (on a broom, I guess) to this little island of Blkulla, which is where supposedly the devil is having a party. As you can see, they prefer coffee. They also carry an ointment that assists them in flying. The image is a vintage Swedish postcard of an #EasterWitch

Adam McKay, director of the Oscar-nominated movie #dontlookup joined us in Downtown Los Angeles to call on @citynationalbank to divest from their financing of climate chaos, including the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline that violates unceded Indigenous Wet’suwet’en land in British Columbia. #climatechange #indigenousrights #coastalgaslink #nomoredirtybanks #adammckay

BREAKING NEWS: Juan Orlando Hernandez, former US and Canadian-backed dictator of Honduras, arrested for US drug-trafficking charges. From @rightsaction Truth & accountability for US & Canadian complicity It is not plausible that this corrupt, military regime would have come to power in the first place, without US and Canadian support for the June 28, 2009 military coup that ousted the elected government of President Mel Zelaya. It is not plausible that the drug-trafficking regime headed by Juan Orlando Hernandez and his National Party would have remained in power for 12 years and 7 months without the unconditional support of the US, Canada, Spain and the EU, the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and International Monetary Fund, and numerous global companies and investors. From the day of the 2009 coup forward, Republican and Democrat administrations in the US and Conservative and Liberal governments in Canada, maintained full military, economic and political relations with this “democratic allie” in Honduras, lying every step of the way about the true nature of the military-backed, corrupt, exploitative and repressive regime they were propping up.

Since the pandemic began, and long before then, many would concur that capitalism in its current form is failing, here and globally. Rooted in inequity, exploitation, profiteering, and social injustice, capitalism exacerbates inequality, disempowerment, and poverty by benefiting only the few. In this show we interview Della Z. Duncan, Renegade Economist, who invites all to ponder what is the purpose of the economy? What is capital? What is value? How is wealth created & sustained? Are we engaged in meaningful work that promotes planetary health? How might we use our gifts, contribute to society, meet our basic human needs & thrive individually and collectively? Hear Della Duncan share provocative insights from the growing movement to revolutionize our perceptions, understanding and practice of renegade economics in our lives. Della Z Duncan hosts the Upstream Podcast, uplifting stories of regenerative economics. She supports individuals working to align their values with their work as a Right Livelihood Coach. She also works with organizations as a cooperatives economic consultant, and facilitates courses and retreats around the world. LISTEN live @kpfthouston on Monday 9 am CT or check the link in bio!
