April 7
Sheila Kressler-Crowley - Greenfest 2012
Why spend months organizing a green, community event? Why gather local businesses and non-profits together to educate a community about organic, recycling, important community and government sponsored programs - when you are a bookstore? Because the sponsor of this show and of the entire event, Bookmans Entertainment Exchange, is a leader in sustainability for Arizona and for the country. Hear about their mission, their reason for hosting this event, and the impact they hope to have. And did I mention that Sheila is wonderful? This show sponsored by The Fairfax Companies.
April 14
Andrew Revkin - Senior Fellow for Environmental Understanding, PaceAcademy for Applied Environmental Studies
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. Andy writes about environmental issues from Siberia to suburbia in his blog. Questions for Andy? Please let us know. This show sponsored by Chapman Tucson
April 21
EarthDay.org
At press time we had not yet confirmed the name of the guest from EarthDay.org but we will announce it in plenty of time. What better organization to interview the day before the official Earth Day than someone from the founding organization. Joining us for a call-in will be one of our all-time favorite human beings - Mr. HabiStore himself - Terry Dee! The show will definitely be one that asks us all to think, not tell us what to think. Of any day this year, I hope you plan to join me live for this one and hope you email us some questions. This show sponsored by The Fairfax Companies.
April 28
Wenonah Hauter, Executive Director, FoodandWaterWatch.org
Their vision? "We envision a world where all people have access to enough affordable, healthy, and wholesome food and clean water to meet their basic needs - a world in which governments are accountable to their citizens and manage essential resources sustainably." What a concept. We will also have a special call in guest from Miraval Resorts. Please join me. I will be glad you did. This show sponsored by Chapman Tucson.
May 5
Michael Tompkins, President & General Manager - Miraval Resorts
Down to earth? Brilliant? Fun? Informative? Well-respected internationally both in and out of the spa industry? I don't know if I have ever met anyone quite like Michael - ever. This show promises to inform, delight and give you an insight as to why Miraval is one of the most top rated resorts in the world and why you will want to live your life in balance. Do I sound excited? This show is sponsored by Miraval.
May 12
William deBuys, Author of A Great Aridness: Climate Change and the Future of the American Southwest
I had the honor of actually meeting Bill when I served as a moderator for a panel at the Tucson Festival of Books. He takes a complex, controversial, detailed subject as it applies to the American Southwest. Author of 7 books and finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 1991 for his book River of Traps. I say without hesitation that he had his audience from hello and he is a gentleman AND a scholar. Please plan to join us. This show is sponsored by The Fairfax Companies.
May 19
Rob Parsons, Executive Assistant for Environmental Concerns Office of the Mayor (Wailuku, HI)
Remember Mrs. Green goes to Maui? It was indeed an informative, inspiring trip as Maui became a metaphor for the challenges many cities face as their own "islands" relying on shipping and importing things in for their very survival. Maui passed one of the first plastic bag ordinances in the country and they have never stopped. From biofuels to solar installation to the growth of organic farming, Rob knows what is happening on his island and on the planet. Exciting, informative, and fun. Call to action? Join us! This show sponsored by Chapman Tucson.
May 26
Institute of the Environment, UA - Jonathan Overpeck and Diana Liverman
Not sure if I will be comfortable calling him "Peck" as everyone I know seems to but Jonathan and Diana are two of the most influential and knowledgeable individuals on climate change on the planet. Co-directors of the University of Arizona Institute of the Environment, will one hour give us time to cover the following: climate impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, climate change and food security? It could take an entire show to just read their bios and accomplishments. But we will get to the green heart of some of these topics and quickly. Please plan to listen. This show sponsored by The Fairfax Companies.
