The War on Empathy: Marion Nestle and George Lakoff
Sept. 24, 2013, 7 p.m.
Remember when President Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, and âempathyâ was transformed by some political commentators into a dirty word? This week on Sea Change Radio, we talk to two giants in their respective fields who think empathy is probably pretty important, especially when it comes to policy.
First, host Alex Wise talks to Marion Nestle, a noted nutritionist and author whose latest book digs into the power of cartoons to drive home complex arguments for fighting food insecurity issues in this country. Next, progressive linguist extraordinaire George Lakoff discusses how liberals need to improve their messaging to convince people that policies that help people are actually a good idea.

Bike/Walk RVA and the Partnership for Smarter Growth
Sept. 24, 2013, 3:54 p.m.
Since Richmond will host the UCI World Road Cycling Championships in 2015, official public and private sector attention has been focused on duly provisioning the city for the big event -- but how much would infrastructural improvements increase the safety, ease, and value of everyday bicycling and walking around Richmond? Policymakers, advocates, experts and planners say that cycling and walking would reduce emissions, promote fitness, and refocus on local business, improving the environmental, physical, and economic health of Richmond. Many organizations are convening to facilitate the educational, infrastructural, and cultural changes that would develop Richmondâs bike- and walk-ability. Would you like to learn about urban innovations that would make Richmond more cyclist- and pedestrian-friendly? Bike/Walk RVA and the Partnership for Smarter Growth are co-hosting the âA Look Into The Richmond Regionâs Bike Futureâ community forum, panel discussion, and short film screening on Thursday, 9/26, at 5:30 pm.

Vandana Shiva: Genetically Engineered Food and the Militarization of Agriculture (ONE of TWO)
Sept. 24, 2013, 12:42 p.m.
Dr. Vandana Shiva, trained in Physics with a dissertation on Quantum Theory; born in Dehradun, India, the daughter of a forest conservator and a farmer, is one of the great ecologists of our time. She has written over 20 books, including Water Wars: Pollution, Profits, and Privatization, Biopiracy: The Plunder of Nature and Knowledge, Monocultures of the Mind, and The Violence of the Green Revolution.
Vandana Shiva has challenged for decades GMO corporations such as Monsanto, large hydro dam builders, and governments, including her own, on issues of agriculture, genetic engineering, deforestation, abuses of science and technology, and globalization. She has started a movement from her birthplace in the foothills of the Himalayas and is dedicating her life and creative energy and huge knowledge to what may seem the most humble of tasks, the protection of the seed and the practice of non chemical, non-pesticide and absolutely non genetic modified agriculture.
Navdanya means nine crops. They represent India's collective source of food security. She founded the organization Navdanya in 1991 and it has grown into a national movement. The main aim of the Navdanya's biodiversity conservation program is to support local farmers, rescue and conserve crops and plants that are being pushed to extinction and make them available through direct distribution. They are fighting the theft of people's knowledge by biopiracy and protect food rights in the face of globalization. Navdanya has helped set up 110 seed banks across India.
