We had stories on Cathy Douglas and Mike Nickerson, two great environmentalists with equally great campaigns. We also followed the Life Cycle of a Tim Horton’s Cup...make sure you get your free reusable coffee cup at Info Source and the Spoke on Campus. As well be had a story put together by Toban Black on Ada Lockridge, one of the two Aamjiwnaang people who filed a lawsuit against Suncor and an industry-friendly Ministry of the Environment. As well we quickly discussed Bill C-311 that was just rejected by the Canadian Senate (This story will be readdressed next show as we ran out of time and have much more to say on this topic!). We concluded with a great rant about 'stuff' and how we don’t really need it.<br /><br /><em>From Toban Black on the environmental struggle of the Aamjiwaang:</em><br />In this interview, Ada Lockridge speaks about Aamjiwnaang community<br />members' efforts to confront petro-chemical pollution from industries<br />that surround their native reserve, inside of Sarnia's Chemical Valley.<br />Through the organization Eco-justice, Ada Lockridge and Ron Plain have<br />filed a lawsuit against Suncor and the Ministry of Environment. As Ada<br />makes clear during the interview, this legal case is one of many<br />approaches which she and other community members have taken to improving<br />their health and environment -- despite industry opposition, and<br />government negligence. This interview with Ada follows up another one<br />with Zak Nicholls, a Sarnia resident who has been grappling with similar<br />Chemical Valley issues; you can listen to the full interview with Zak <a href="http://www.mediacoop.ca/audio/fighting-chemical-valley/5070">here</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2804726843537453457-8415363912968268461?l=chrwnewsandspokenword.chrwradio.com' alt='' /></div>94.9 CHRW Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14041967926664012418noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804726843537453457.post-24710093041998008522010-11-22T13:28:00.004-05:002010-12-02T11:22:25.041-05:00<p>Originally broadcast November 12, 2010<br />Produced by <a href="http://www.usc.uwo.ca/envirowestern/">EnviroWestern</a><div align="left"><embed flashvars="audioUrl=http://chrwradio.com/podcasts/949CHRWRadioWesternOnEarth/20101112woe.mp3" height="27" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf" style="height: 27px; width: 502px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash; charset=UTF-8" width="502"></embed></div><br /><a href="http://chrwradio.com/podcasts/949CHRWRadioWesternOnEarth/20101112woe.mp3">download mp3</a><br />This week’s environmental hero featured on Western on Earth was Wangari Maatai. Following that we focused on some issues around bottled water with an overview of the documentary “Tapped”. We concluded the first half with the life cycle of Gatorade. In the second half, the theme was switched to some food issues and covered stories about veganism and oregano helping to reduce cow’s methane production to name a couple.<br /><a name='more'></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2804726843537453457-2471009304199800852?l=chrwnewsandspokenword.chrwradio.com' alt='' /></div>94.9 CHRW Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14041967926664012418noreply@blogger.com0
