Suzanne Simard
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our conversation with Suzanne, she explains her groundbreaking findings and we hear about the controversy her findings have stirred up. We also discuss the</span> <a href= "https://mothertreeproject.org/mother-tree-experiment/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Mother Tree Project</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which is researching forest renewal practices that protect biodiversity, carbon storage and forest regeneration as the climate changes. Suzanne lets us in on her personal journey from a simple, rural upbringing in the British Columbia forests to world famous scientist and author. And she opens up about the challenges of being a woman taking on scientific orthodoxy in a male dominated field.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Suzanne is</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">professor of Forest Ecology in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at the University of British Columbia. She has published over 170 articles relating to forestry and the environment. She earned her PhD in Forest Sciences from Oregon State University in 1997, where her thesis on forest ecology</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">was featured on the cover of Nature, one of the world’s most prestigious scientific journals. Not a bad way to start a career in science.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join us around our virtual campfire for a conversation that may help lead us to the key to surviving the climate crisis: cooperation with nature.</span></p>

Madeleine Jubilee Saito
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week’s episode of the</span> <a href="https://www.motherearthpod.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mother Earth Podcast</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">features our first visual artist on the podcast,</span> <a href= "https://madeleinejubileesaito.net"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Madeleine Jubilee Saito</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. Madeleine addresses the climate crisis through poetry comics, an artform that combines drawings with words. Madeleine’s poetry comics on the climate crisis take us out of the language of science and into the language of feelings and emotion. In our conversation, we discuss the role of feelings, emotion and human connectivity in solving this crisis. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Madeleine’s art conveys a critical message: we are all inextricably linked; we cannot see ourselves separate from each other or from nature and we must cultivate solidarity and come together as one in order to solve the climate crisis. Madeleine says that “the idea that we are somehow separate from nature is an illusion. I draw to celebrate the beauty of the natural world, trees, forests, and hills and to convey the reality that nature is not something that is other to us.”</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Madeleine’s work is featured in the anthology</span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/All-We-Can-Save-Solutions/dp/0593237080/ref=asc_df_0593237080/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507975958237&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16746658376656471079&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030794&hvtargid=pla-1274229090124&psc=1"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">All We Can Save: Truth, Courage and Solutions for the Climate Crisis</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. She is also the creative director and operations lead at</span> <a href= "https://www.allwecansave.earth"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The All We Can Save Project</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Madeleine is involved with the</span> <a href= "https://www.sunrisemovement.org"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Sunrise Movement</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">hub in Boston and has also worked with the national team as a designer. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our conversation, Madeleine and I discuss the role of art in social movements and the how art can help us express our feelings and emotions in this time of a climate crisis. Madeleine leaves us off with a compelling reading of her own work,</span> <a href= "https://madeleinejubileesaito.net/30-days-of-comics-2019"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 30 days of comics / 2019: on climate crisis</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. Join us for this first of its kind interview on The Mother Earth Podcast. Learn more about Madeleine and our other guests on our</span> <a href= "https://www.motherearthpod.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">website</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For People and Planet, thank you for listening. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Matt</span></p>

Dan Esty
<p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the face of such grave climate threats, why has environmental policy failed us? Why has an issue that once enjoyed broad bipartisan support become a source of deep division? The 60s and 70s saw swift and effective legislation over pollution and clean air. So what has changed?</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode of the</span> <a href="https://www.motherearthpod.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mother Earth Podcast</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, guest</span> <a href= "https://law.yale.edu/daniel-c-esty"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Dan Esty</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">discusses the necessity to modernize environmental policy. He argues the 20th century policy has not failed us, but rather the policy and law of the 20th century served 20th century purposes. Now, “it’s time to refresh the game plan.”</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dan Esty is the Hillhouse Professor at Yale University with appointments at Yale’s Environment and Law Schools and the Yale School of Management. He is the director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and co-director of the Yale Initiative on Sustainable Finance. Esty is celebrated for a number of works including "Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value, and Build Competitive Advantage,"Red Lights to Green Lights: From 20th Century Environmental Regulation to 21st Century Sustainability” and most recently "A Better Planet: 40 Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future."</span></p> <p><br /> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen to this week's stimulating conversation tackling big ideas on</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mother-earth-podcast/id1508000723"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple Podcast</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/5QiO1b3i9c9PrU3iqIhamM"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, or any other podcast app with the links on our</span> <a href="https://www.motherearthpod.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">website</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
