Greetings Earthlings. Are we feeling very Independent yet? We sure should be given what's going on in DC these daze! With that in mind let's talk about some successful local action. Anita Ryan and Brian Seppala join us to talk about the struggle to protect Bare Cove Park in Hingham, MA. Their website is HERE.

Here's our Quote of the Week's backstory: "Two people display[ed] a banner atop the Empire State Building in the Manhattan borough of New York, July 1, 2026. The pair were self-identified via social media as Russian couple Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau, daredevil climbers who were the subject of the 2024 documentary “Skywalkers: A Love Story”. The banner read: "When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace"

That said, passersby would hardly be able to read the banner over 103 floors below.

Greetings Earthlings. Happy Summer Solstice. It's the 21st century, burn technologies no longer make sense in a Climate Crisis and the losers' War Against Nature must end ASAP. That's how we see it and we've invited Zack Porter co-founder of Standing Trees and passionate advocate for America's public lands back to make the case for permanently protecting State and Federal forest lands in the Northeast.

The Enviro Show Quote of the Week as we imagine being out in the Wild:

“Devoted though we must be to the conservation cause, I do not believe that any of us should give it all of our time or effort or heart. Give what you can, but do not burn yourselves out -- or break your hearts. Let us save at least half of our lives for the enjoyment of this wonderful world which still exists. Leave your dens, abandon your cars and walk out into the great mountains, the deserts, the forests, the seashores. Those treasures still belong to all of us. Enjoy them to the full, stretch your legs, expand your lungs, enliven your hearts.."

- Edward Abbey

Greetings Earthlings. We reported on this show in the past words to the effect that "Invisible and nearly indestructible, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have seeped into the blood of almost every American and permeated the natural world." That's the tagline for the recent book "Inescapable - Facing Up to Forever Chemicals". The author, F. Marina Schauffler joins Glen for the interview.
