Executive Director, Center for the Study of Deserts & Oceans (CEDO)

CEDO has been working with the small-scale fishermen of the Northern Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez – near Rocky Point), helping them create viable, productive, sustainable fishing methods and management techniques for over 30 years. Working with shrimpers, divers and gillnet fishermen in about 10 communities around the Northern Gulf is both challenging and rewarding as they gather the data and do the science research necessary to share with the fishermen so that they can make informed decisions about how to manage their marine natural resources. CEDO also works with the communities, helping locals figure out ecotourism options, including the creation of jewelry and tourist novelties from the stuff that they beach-comb (anything from trash to marine skeletons!) Interested? I know I certainly am!

This amazing program helps consumers and businesses make choices for one of my favorite passions – healthy oceans. They actually publish a seafood guide recommending which seafood items are “Best Choice,” “Good Alternatives,” and which ones we should “Avoid.” Their recommendations are science-based, peer reviewed and use ecosystem-based criteria. Their impact? Over 40 million pocket guides distributed, their smartphone app has been downloaded almost a million times and they have close to 200 partners across North America including two of the largest food services companies. Tune in to find out how many fish are left in the sea and how to make healthy seafood choices. Wow.

Theresa Marquez
Organic Valley Coop

This is an amazing story about a co-op that has always been organic and has always been farmer-owned since 1988. They believe in good food, they believe in the labeling of GMOs (because we really are what we eat and have a right to know!) This mission driven cooperative is owned by family farmers, has a stated philosophy of making decisions based on the health and welfare of people, animals and the earth. They are thought leaders, their story starts when family farms were on the brink of extinction and they are standing strong against big companies with LOTS of money. They believed that a new, sustainable approach to agriculture could help family farms and rural communities survive. And they were right. Please join us.

Laurel Moffat
Outreach Communication, Southwest Airlines

Note from Mrs. Green: It is a RARE occurrence for us to do a repeat show. But alas! We bring you our most popular show of 2013 – a great reminder of all Southwest Airlines does for the planet and how much they helped with getting the Ben’s Bells Project to Newtown, Connecticut only three short months ago.  Read all about it.

Not only does SWA (and trust me, I fly SWA) not charge you for your bags AND still give you peanuts and pretzels AND frequently entertain you during your flight, they are going greener every day in every way they can. I am nuts about them. “Our performance, our people, our planet.” Don’t you want to know what this industry leader is doing to be a good steward of the planet?

Author, Uprisings for the Earth – Reconnecting Culture with Nature

Osprey had me from hello (even if only from her book). How’s this observation for inspiration? “At the center of an Earth etiquette is a deep, respectful listening, knowing what to do comes from the listening. When we begin to listen to The Big Quiet and feel the rhythm of our home planet, we become mindful that our survival is completely intertwined, people and planet.” Here’s to an Earth etiquette, to listening – and this show is a great place to learn about it all from Osprey herself.

Rudy Socha
CEO of Wounded Nature – Working Veterans
All I could think about when I heard about Wounded Nature – Working Veterans was “I have GOT to interview them.” And so I shall. Who are they? They are an agency that stations their houseboats offshore or on the beaches of cleanup areas in rural areas on the East Coast delivering workers in and out of smaller crafts – places where larger organizations don’t want to go or don’t have the capacity to go. The entire concept intrigues me and I can’t wait to fire away my questions.

Executive Director, Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center

Claire Zucker
Director of Sustainable Environment, Pima Association of Governments

Pima Association of Governments (PAG) joined over 800 volunteers last January to help remove buffelgrass at 22 sites around the Tucson basin. They put in 2,214 hours to collect 1,597 bags of buffelgrass. Listen and learn how you can help fight against this growing environmental problem, including joining us at this year’s Beat Back Buffelgrass Day on January 26.

Buffelgrass invasion is threatening to transform the mostly fireproof and diverse Sonoran Desert into a flammable and impoverished savanna, affecting both natural and urban areas. PAG actively contributes by volunteering and serving on the Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center (SABCC) Executive Board.

Learning by Doing. This is almost one of those “you’ve got to hear it to believe it” and I saw it. What is it? MINDDRIVE is a non-profit, after school program for at-risk high school students that utilizes experiential learning methods administered by instructors and mentors. The real green skinny is what this program does to change the world. People passionate about building cars, car racing, the environment and at-risk kids got together and made something happen. By the time we are on the air, we will hear about how they built and drove an electric car from San Diego to Florida and so much more. This show sponsored by The Fairfax Companies.

Buffelgrass, habitat and climate change adaptation strategy development programs did not really have a clear home before the reorganization. The program combines watershed and air quality planning with travel demand management to create an integrated and cohesive group poised to work with sustainability efforts throughout the region. The goal for the program is to become a resource for member jurisdictions in support of the long-term environmental, economic and social vitality of our community. Claire will also share information about Earth Day.

Sound impressive? He is. Andy is passionate, informed and fearless when it comes to telling it like it is about anything. Short excerpt from his blog tells it all: I’m on the run in Portugal supervising 13 students shooting a documentary on the forests that are the source of the cork sealing billions (not a typo) of wine bottles a year. The movie, Battle Behind the Bottle, is due to be released on May 2. Andy writes about environmental issues from Siberia to suburbia in his blog. This show sponsored by Chapman Tucson.
