Greetings Earthlings. The term "Natural Solutions" has been coming up quite a bit lately here in the old Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at Elders Climate Action there's a Natural Solutions Working Group and at the ever dubious Nature Conservancy they were quick to co-opt the term for their own corporate ends. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology was paying attention during COVID but what about here & now as the Climate Crisis ramps up and bogus or no solutions press in on us? Marta Vicarelli, Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst joins us to explore the obvious and more (1) & (2).
The Enviro Show Quote of the Week:
“Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message – spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions – telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve”
– Naomi Klein
