Americans realize that no leadership on our environmental crises will come from our political "leaders." So people have begun making changes on their own. The show explores several approaches people are taking--including bicycling, modifying everyday behavior, and raising backyard chickens. Then DERRICK JENSEN explains why only political action will make any difference at all. What to do? Maybe all of the above.
This show was originally broadcast (as NWN #85, "Can We Save the Environment?") in October 2009.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "Executive Dining Room") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
Music added: James McMurtry, "God Bless America"
