Gotta love a great Green Dude DIY segment w/ Jeff MacIntire_Strasburg of Sustainablog about making human-powered washing machines and plastic sleeping mats from plastic shopping bags for the homeless.

Another fun a feisty episode with Jenny G. Perry in the studio as we talk about reasons to be a slacker parent.

This show has many great segments, but the feature is a powerful one with Osprey Orielle Lake, Founder of WECAN (Women Earth and Climate Action Network), who talks about indigenous women around the globe that are standing up for climate action and climate justice. Other segments include Green Dude Mike Nowak on a recycling rant; the Creative Vegetable Gardener on choosing seeds for spring planting; Lisa Beres, of Ron & Lisa about improving indoor air quality; and sorry about the vegetarian Valentine’s menu segment, the volume on Diana Rice is way too low and couldn’t be fixed. It’s only that segment tho. 🙁

The first of our series with Megan Cain, the Creative Vegetable Gardener. One of the things we can do during these cold inactive months (at least for many of us), is to start planning the garden and choosing seeds to plant is a fun winter garden activity.

No one riffs and rants about environmental issues better than Green Dude Mike Nowak. Watch out Chicago, he’s not thrilled with your recycling system.

Lisa Beres of Ron & Lisa talks about indoor air quality, which is especially important during the winter months when many of our homes are shut up tight against the cold. She offers some great remedies, including houseplants that help.
