Helen Caldicott, M.D., pediatrician and internationally recognized author and lecturer, hosts a weekly, one-hour radio program titled If You Love This Planet. Produced by Jasmin WIlliams and Scott Powell. Edited by Jasmin Williams.
On this program, Dr. Caldicott interviews Drew Hutton, an environmental campaigner in his home state of Queensland, Australia. Hutton founded the Greens party in Queensland and was a co-founder of the Australian Greens in 1992. He is an organizer of the Lock the Gate campaign, an alliance of environmentalists and rural landowners opposing the environmental destruction by coal and coal seam gas mining in Queensland. He is also the author, with his wife Libby Connors, of A History of the Australian Environment Movement published by Cambridge University Press in 1999. This episode also features an excerpt from Dr. Caldicottâs speech in Port Hope, Canada in late 2010 in which she warns residents of the major radiation hazards in their midst.
