Greetings Earthlings. Do you really believe we should all pay for the fouling of our nest by the fossil fools? We sure don't and neither does Make Polluters Pay, "a campaign to create a climate superfund, penalizing the worst polluters of greenhouse gasses and funding resilience and adaptation projects in communities most impacted by climate change. 350 Mass joins Better Future Project and other groups like CREW (Communities Responding to Extreme Weather), Mass Youth Climate Coalition (MYCC), and more to drive a grassroots campaign to hold polluters accountable." Daniel Zackin, Legislative Manager at 350 Mass/Better Future Project joins us for the interview.

Our Critter of the Week & Our Quote of the Week is a good one;

"As I come over the hill, I hear the wood thrush singing his evening lay. This is the only bird whose note affects me like music, affects the flow and tenor of my thoughts, my fancy and imagination. It lifts and exhilarates me… It is a medicative draught to my soul. It is an elixir to my eyes and a fountain of youth to all my senses. It changes all hours to an eternal morning. It banishes all trivialness. … I long for wildness, a nature where the wood thrush forever sings, where the hours are early morning ones, and there is dew on the grass, and the day is forever unproved. … All that is ripest and fairest in wildness is preserved and transmitted to us in the strain of the wood thrush. It is the mediator between barbarism and civilization."
