 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. We will also have special call-in guest Simon Marxer, Spa Director, Miraval, telling us about Miraval's new Life in Balance Spa. 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.
 June 2
Chris Jordan - Internationally Acclaimed Photographer
Perhaps more than any single person, the works of Chris Jordan have impacted my work as Mrs. Green. His photographs are life changing, daunting, depressing, and yet at the same time inspirational. Chris is a game-changer and a one of a kind messenger who boldly, and at times brutally, helps look at man's impact on Planet Earth. From waste to greed to international connection with our planet, Chris Jordan is helping to build a quiet revolution - one in support of world peace and one in which we all live consciously. I am honored to be interviewing him. This show sponsored by Chapman Tucson.
 June 9

It's all about the food. Dana is a food scientist and Andrea started a school lunch revolution in the D.C. area.

Big steps, big impact? Please plan to join us. This show is sponsored by The Fairfax Companies.

Peter Ellsworth, Entomology Specialist, University of Arizona College of Agriculture & Life Sciences
It's all about the bugs and I don't even know where to begin. Ellsworth and his team have gone from facing a pest plague of biblical proportion to creating an award winning pest management center. Making pest control more eco-friendly and less dangerous to human health is something we should all care about. Join me to find out just what they've done and how they have done it.
