Hi Everyone,

Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there! I had a wonderful bike ride with my children. It is the one day a year where I get all three of them outdoors with me, doing something other than eating! Of course, the eating happened later, and what a feast it was!

This weekend, the NY Times article about the 400 parts per million of Co2 heat trapping particles in the atmosphere, was certainly alarming. For me, the scariest part is that we have known about this for so long, but our government and the world, has chosen to do so little about it. That is why it is so important for all of us to get involved, to join organizations like 350.org, or Citizens Climate Lobby, to raise awareness and put pressure on our politicians. We can not allow projects like the Keystone XL Pipeline to be approved, and Fracking to continue. It is all of our job to do what we can to save the planet.

This week, my guest on the Progressive Radio Network, is Lindsey Shulte, a woman who is working hard to help young people who want to be farmers, get started. Increasing the number of young farmers in this country is so important, if we want to turn around our Industrial Agricultural practices and return to growing food in harmony with the earth. Her organization is called The National Young Farmers Coalition, and they are dedicated to helping young farmers get a start through changing the legislation that creates the policies. Please join me on Thursday at 10am, for an insightful conversation about the trials and tribulations of getting started as a farmer.
