Summary

Last September 2022, Corinna Bellizzi interviewed Tzeporah Berman, Founder of Stand.earth. Her inspiring words from that episode were used by Donna Grantis in her moving musical presentation centered on climate activism, A Drop in the Bucket. Donna is here to talk about using her music in raising awareness on saving the environment through her newest project, Culture v. Policy. She explains the role of arts during a climate emergency, some simple practices to reconnect with nature, and why she considers Planet Earth as a co-writer of her songs.
