About Earthshot Now: People, places, cleantech and climate change.
Earthshot Now is hosted by Mark Bernstein, President of Earthshot, a 501c3 to inspire people to take climate action using a positive cleantech vision of the future. On each podcast I talk with people from different walks of life to tell their story of what they do, how they got there and what climate change means to them. Each podcast starts with a ‘Cleantech is Cool’ segment that highlights some innovative technologies. We end the show with a climate challenge from our guest, and some fun facts.

Earthshot Now in conversation with author Johanna Stoberock
Johanna Stoberock is the author of the novels Pigs (Red Hen Press) and City of Ghosts (W.W. Norton). About Pigs: Four children live on an island that is the repository for all the world’s garbage. Garbage arrives, the children sort it, and then they feed it to a herd of pigs. The pigs are beautiful, but fierce, with sharp teeth and insatiable appetites, and they eat anything. When a boy washes ashore in a barrel, the children must decide what to do with him—is he more of the world’s detritus, meant to be fed to the pigs, or is he one of them? The novel explores questions about community, environmental responsibility, and the possibility of innocence.
In this episode we discuss the novel, where the ideas came from and what they mean for her and what we can all do the address climate change.
