Pamm Larry and the California proposition to label genetically modified food
Sept. 26, 2012, 2:15 a.m.
In a David VS Goliath fight a grassroots group joined by organic food, farm and environmental organizations, is facing some of the most powerful corporations, including Monsanto, DuPont, BASF, Bayer, and Dow over the deceptively simple issue of labeling GMO foods. Almost one million Californians made it possible for the labeling proposal to be placed on the November 2012 ballot as Prop. 37, however as of production of the program on September 25, over $30 million have already been committed by the GMO industry and pesticide producers to defeat Prop 37.
This program is a personal portrait of the farmer, midwife and now grandmother from Chico, CA, Pamm Larry, who single-handedly initiated the labeling campaign and met thousands along the way who also want to see genetically modified food labeled.

Occupy Montreal Keeps on Occupying

Potty Talk: The Re-Invention of The Toilet
Sept. 25, 2012, 10:47 p.m.
Aside from some aesthetic advances and rudimentary low-flow innovations, the modern flush toilet basically has not evolved since its prototype first appeared at the end of the 16th Century. This year, Bill and Melinda Gates thought theyâd accelerate the flow of progress by holding a contest to invent a better toilet. Across the globe over 2 and a half billion people donât have access to adequate sanitation. The result: disease and death in the developing world that could be avoided entirely if only someone could come up with a toilet that didnât require running water, electricity, or septic systems, wasnât expensive, and didnât create pollutants. Our guest today on Sea Change Radio is part of a team that invented precisely such a toilet. Clement Cid and a group of other Caltech graduate students, under the leadership of Caltech engineer Michael Hoffman, built a toilet that not only runs off of solar power, it actually creates hydrogen fuel and usable water. Hear how this team came up with the design that won the Gates Foundation contest and could potentially augur a cleaner, safer life for billions of people all around the world.

Mortal Remembrance
Sept. 25, 2012, 3:55 p.m.
Mortal Remembrance talks about the death that happens and the death that matters. Inspired by Thomas Lynch, Mr. Lynch was unavailable for comment or consultation on this documentary.
Mortal Remembrance picks up where Lynch's program, "The Undertaking" left off, examining how we process death, how we deal with the death that happens, how we make that loved one's life matter, and learning how to live beyond the loss when we lose someone we love. In this way, we are able to live our own lives as whole people because we become empowered to improve our state of mental and spiritual health when we work through the death that happens and make that death matter.
