KPFA - Law & Disorder w/ Cat BrooksNo Coal in Oakland w/ Sejal Choksi-Chugh & Ryan NicoleFor years now, local developer Phil Tagami has been embattled in a lawsuit with the city over a lease granted to him by the City of Oakland at the West Gateway on the waterfront of West Oakland – to build the Oakland Global Trade and Logistics Center. It is here he that wants to orchestrate the shipping of coal from Utah right through West Oakland. Not only has Tagami been embroiled in a battle with the city – he has been embroiled in a battle with Oaklanders who don’t want coal pollutants running through their community.

Beyond The Fog RadioSan Francisco Baykeeper w/ Sejal Choksi-ChughSejal Choksi-Chugh is a fierce defender of the environment. From a young age she wondered why the water was murky, why the air was polluted, and why no one seemed to be doing anything to fix it. After receiving her law degree with a certificate in environmental law in 2002 from UC Berkeley, Sejal’s been taking charge at San Francisco Baykeeper, a non-profit whose mission is to protect our Bay. Using law, science and advocacy as their tools, SF Baykeeper seeks out polluting businesses and holds them accountable by any means necessary. Sejal has been Executive Director since 2015.

Yet the Bay Area doesn’t yet have a coordinated plan to respond to sea level rise.
Terra Verde host and Earth Island Journal Managing Editor Zoe Loftus-Farren discusses sea level risk, natural adaptation solutions, and the importance of regional planning with Julie Beagle, Senior Sc...2020-06-1229 min
