Greetings Earthlings. We're all about clearcuts on today's show, here at home and around the planet. We'll have Chris Matera, forest activist and author of the Clearcut Massachusetts blog in the
studio with us. Chris has documented some little known clearcutting taking place on public land here in the Commonwealth. Also tonight, Obama Nation! Will the new prez' protect the planet or will he
cave to the corporados? (we can hope it's the former, yes, we can!). As always, we'll witness the latest assaults on Mother Earth from Darth Cheney and the boy emperor; we'll checkout The Enviro Show
Echo Chamber; and the Quote of the Week, but first it's time for...... Revenge of the Critters! Watch out for 'dem donkeys! Glen! When does the Obama bouncer toss Darth & the boy emperor out the
door? AND, what sort of damage can THE WORST ADMINISTRATION EVER do to the planet before they're finally gone? Here's one take: "Bush administration prepares environmental messes for the next prez".
AND this: "Bush admin to open almost 360,000 acres of Utah public lands to drilling". If time allows, we'll run through a list of other Repugnican enemies of the Earth, members of the League of
Conservation Voters' "Dirty Dozen", that voters threw out of Congress last Tuesday. The Enviro Show Quote of the Week naturally goes back to last Tuesday when Barack Obama spoke to tens of thousands
gathered in Chicago after his victory at the polls: "This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and
promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and
doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can." In The Enviro Show Echo Chamber we checkout Worcester Telegram
on how our Forests, parks need friends. ALSO, New law protects old-growth in N.Y. Forests. AND, this from RAN: Rainforests and agriculture. Then it's time for our conversation with Chris Matera. Did
you know there was clearcutting of our public forests in the Quabbin and on the Montague Plains? You can see the photos on Chris' blog: http://clearcutma.blogspot.com/

http://envirosho.blogspot.com ] [Webstreaming at: http://ss7.shoutzone.net:8486/listen.pls ] {Podcasting at: http://enviroshow2008.podomatic.com/ ] Greetings Earthlings. It’s nest-fouling watch
once again on the Enviro Show. Time to have a longer conversation about the proposed expansion of the Northampton dump over the Barnes Aquifer. We’ll have Linda Hiesiger and Mike Fedora of
Citizens United for a Healthy Future in the studio to talk about the issues. As always, we’ll take a healthy piece out of the Bush regime ; check-in on The Enviro Show Echo Chamber; hear the
Quote of the Week and some tunes, but first it’s time for Revenge of the Critters! Cricket Attack! The Enviro Show Quote of the Week comes from Al Gore (or Gore-al, as we like to say, sounding
the alarm on Earth, rather than on Krypton): "You see that pale, blue dot? That's us. Everything that has ever happened in all of human history, has happened on that pixel. All the triumphs and all
the tragedies, all the wars all the famines, all the major advances... it's our only home. And that is what is at stake, our ability to live on planet Earth, to have a future as a civilization. I
believe this is a moral issue, it is your time to seize this issue, it is our time to rise again to secure our future." What’s that sound, Glen? When and will we be saved from the Bush regime??
Never mind us, when will all the endangered species be safe from these guys? You’re gonna’ love this one: Cleanup funding inadequate for Bush-designated marine monument. Maybe it’s
fitting to leave all that plastic crap floating around George’s "monument"! So, who IS the man behind the curtain on the John McSame campaign campaign trail? Could it be the man from Big Oil??
You can bet yur’ sweet crude it is!! In the Enviro Show Echo Chamber we have a look at Bob Herbert’s op-ed piece in the New York Times, "An empty promise". Our Enviro Show Blog Bonus is
all about pain at the pump. Check it! "Landfill" by Appalachian Still takes us to our interview with Linda Hiesiger and Mike Fedora concerning the clever idea of putting a dump over one of
Easthampton's water supplies. Talk about planning ahead! Check out the Citizens United for a Healthy Future web site at http://www.savingparadise.info "It really isn’t garbage" by Pat Humphries
takes us to the end of the show.

http://envirosho.blogspot.com ] [Webstreaming at: http://ss7.shoutzone.net:8486/listen.pls ] {Podcasting at: http://enviroshow2008.podomatic.com/ ] Greetings Earthlings. It’s Koyanaskatsi, a
world out of balance, thanks to industrialized human-centric society, but hey, we can evolve right?? Umm….right? Re-wilding, or reintroducing displaced species may be part of the solution. We
have a conversation with Rob Edward, Carnivore Recovery Director for WildEarth Guardians. Of course we’ll always find time to bash Bush and the Empire, and checkout The Enviro Show Echo Chamber
and Quote of the Week, as well as a call from Tom Neilson out on the road, but first it’s time for....Revenge of the Critters! We jump into the Wayback Machine for a tale of man and wolf. The
Enviro Show Quote of the Week comes from the dean of enviro thought, Aldo Leopold from the essay "Thinking like a mountain": "The cowman who cleans his range of wolves does not realize that he is
taking over the wolf's job of trimming the herd to fit the range. He has not learned to think like a mountain. Hence we have dustbowls, and rivers washing the future into the sea." Ahmen! Los Lobos'
"Will the Wolf Survive?" takes us to the Enviro Show Echo Chamber where we revisit the Boston Globe story about the Gray wolf that was killed in Shelburne last March. This sorry incident is what led
us to do this week’s show on wolf reintroduction. We also checkout the Restore the North Woods website and the latest on Northeast wolf reintroduction from the Maine Wolf Coalition. You can
meet some LIVE reps from the wolf community right here in the Commonwealth, by the way. Checkout Wolf Hollow in Ipswich. Then we read from the Daily Hampshire Gazette’s coverage of the recent
event concerning the Northampton landfill expansion proposal. It's that Darth Cheney dirge again! When will it end!! Glen, what’s the count? How many days?? Of course you’ve heard Darth
and the boy emperor want to drill their way out of the gas crisis (a scam within a scam within a scam...these guys are the worst!). Bush says he’ll lift the ban on offshore drilling signed by
his father. That will go exactly nowhere since there’s also a congressional ban (though Cape Wind proponents might like the sight of more trashed coastlines!....sorry, couldn't resist). Luckily
Barbra Boxer and Nancy Pelosi are digging in their high heels. Here’s the Enviro Show Blog Bonus: Dig your heels in too!. Did you catch the emperor’s farewell "joke" at the G8? He said to
his fellow leaders: "Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter." The rightwing flat-earth robos loved it. Gaia, help rid us of this plague!! End of story for this week. Until next time,
remember to......LISTEN TO YUR' MOTHER!

[Podcasting at: http://www.podomatic.com/people/index/enviroshow2008 ] Greetings Earthlings. Time to talk about Mother Earth, the urban dweller. She’s stressed, she’s pressed-in,
she’s not happy! Jonathan Bates, board member of Nuestras Raices, joins us to discuss that Holyoke organization’s work to protect the urban environment and create sustainable models for
city living. As always, we’ll be checking out the latest from The Enviro Show Echo Chamber, the Quote of the Week, and naturally, the latest in dastardly deeds from The Empire, but first
it’s time for....Revenge of the Critters! A listener suggestion: Parrot won’t talk! (at least not to the cops!) In the Enviro Show Echo Chamber: This just in from The Montague Reporter -
The state investigation into the remarks made by Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission director Robert Welch has officially concluded. You may recall from our last show, Welch was the guy who said
"Tree-hugging Indians" were holding up progress on the proposed Turners Falls airport expansion. Welch has resigned, as of June 4th, according to Klark Jessen, director of communications for the
Executive Office of Transportation. Soooo, will TF Airport Commissioner, Mark Fairbrother, who called Narragansetts trying to protect a sacred site, “rock-hugging Indians” follow Welch
into the dustbin of history? We hope so! That would be FAIR…..brother! AND this from Grist: The Hulk talks up green buildings for low-income housing. AND FINALLY (and in keeping with the
show’s theme) Our Enviro Show Blog Bonus, Grist Special Series on Smart(ish) Cities. O no, it's that sound again! They’re back! Glen, when?? Yes, The Empire’s Big Oil operatives are
still barricaded in the White House and, as always, up to no good. It looks like Henry Waxman is about to wax their collective ass however. He’s got Evidence that the White House influenced the
EPA to deny a waiver California needed to regulate vehicle greenhouse-gas emissions. ALSO: the high priests of The Empire launch their latest offensive against the planet! On our Enviro Show Quote of
the Week we have this question from the year 1888: “In this country the mass of the people are entire strangers to the sentiment of beauty; they deform whatever they touch. Will it always be
so?” –John Burroughs (OK, it’s over a hundred years later, will it??) We revisit “Toxic City”,by System of a Down on our way to the interview with Jonatan Bates. Then
it's on to the interview.

[Webstreaming at: http://www.valleyfreeradio.org/resources/listen-now/ ] {Podcasting at: http://enviroshow2008.podomatic.com/ ] Greetings Earthlings! On this, the birthday of Rudolf Diesel, father of
the diesel engine, we look into carbon trading scams as well as the upcoming global actions on Fossil Fuels Day. Speaking of scams, we’ll hear from U.S. Senate candidate, Ed O’Reilly on
the fatal flaw in the proposed Cape Wind project. Ed’s lookin’ to displace the junior senator from our fair Commonwealth, the squishy patrician, John Kerry who failed to defend his
presidential win in Ohio in ‘04, thus giving us four more years with the criminal Bush regime and the Repugnican Torture Party. As always, we’ll delve into the dark side with Darth
Cheney, but first it’s time for.....Revenge of the Critters! Elephants strategize attacks on humans!. There it is again! The theme from the dark side!! Glen, how many days until we are free?
We'll get into yet more examples of THE worst White House occupants in history, such as the Bush regime’s EPA continues dragging its hobnail boots on CO2. And, Ozone rules weakened by boy
emperor! ALSO, White House operatives dis wolverines.
