This week we are celebrating the 200th edition of Sustainability Now!, which has been coming to you every week since April 2017! Returning to the program to mark this special milestone with your host, Justin Mog, is Carolyn Waters, an environmental education researcher currently pursuing her PhD at Bellarmine University. We explore her studies into the JEDI training model for environmental educators (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) and addressing the legacy of white supremacy in the U.S. environmental movement. But we also get an update on Carolyn’s tiny house project and her new shotgun house in the Clifton neighborhood, where she is engaging in her new “unintentionally intentional” community, tapping her maple trees for syrup, and exploring Joshua McFadden’s Six Season’s cookbook (https://www.joshuamcfadden.com/sixseasons).
Carolyn recommends these resources for going deeper:
North American Association for Environmental Education (https://naaee.org/)
Kentucky Association for Environmental Education (https://www.kaee.org/)
Kentucky Native American Heritage Commission (https://heritage.ky.gov/aa-na/Pages/overview.aspx)
As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!
