Summary
CORPORATIONS VERSUS THE ENVIRONMENT ~ Corporate corruption is working to protect short term profits- can environmental campaigners and small farmers protect our water and lands?.. or will climate change have the final say?
Ohio's Chamber of Commerce killed a community-backed environmental bill of rights- Markie Miller with Toledoans for Safe Water joins Thom with the story. ~ Timothy Wise of the Small Planet Institute tells Thom a story of corporate-backed industrial agriculture steamrolling small farmers with a polluting form of industrial agriculture. Can they be stopped? ~ Thom reads a selection from 'This Land: How Cowboys, Capitalism, and Corruption are ruining the American West'. ~ Thom's listeners brilliantly identify the consequence of environmental destruction they are watching from where they sit. And Kerry in New York reminds us of the Global Climate March coming on the 20th of September. ~ We've just discovered another planet with liquid water, meanwhile Greta Thunberg sails to America on a racing yacht to support the teens leading climate protest. ~ Renard Loke checks in on the ongoing fight to stop the sale of indigenous lands in Ecuador about the size of the U.S. state of Maryland ~ Kerry in New York reminds us to support the Global Climate March next Friday.
