CELEBRATION OF NATURE SERIES
BIRDS: CITIES AND SUBURBS

You can experience nature everywhere when you are attuned to it. From city streets to suburban backyards, from public beaches to landfills and water treatment plants, there are animals and plants in niches everywhere. There are so many places that birders go to that will be surprising to you. Tune in to hear our two guests tell you what and where those places are.

Ryan Goldberg is an independent journalist who writes about the environment, city life, crime, sports, and is the author of “Bird City: Adventures in New York’s Urban Wilds”. He has been published in many places and also has a Emmy-award-winning career in TV sports reporting. He leads regular birding walks for the Brooklyn Bird Club.
Jeffrey Train, aka Mr. Train, is a co-founder of Our Tern, with other Hoboken residents Noelle Thurlow and Juan Melli. The coalition advocates for Hoboken's Official Honorary Bird: The Common Tern and promotes the natural environment in Hoboken. Jeffrey leads birding walks and “ is also cofounder of Freedom Birders, a project inspired by the Civil Rights movement.

You can see terns diving into the water when you're on the Staten Island ferry or on the shore of the Hudson River. One environmental success story is that there is a colony of Common Terns on a pier in Hoboken, which is directly because the Hudson River is cleaner and healthier. We can thank environmentalists and organizations such as Clearwater and Hudson Riverkeeper for that. Donna sees terns occasionally when kayaking on the Hudson River. The Hoboken tern colony has galvanized the whole city, from students to businesses.

Birds reveal how we are connected. Bird walks are happening in Hoboken, all over NYC, and in every part of the listening area. Birders saw the results of climate change before most other people, as they saw the migration patterns change and breeding ranges expanding north.

Birds are inspiring the raising of consciousness and awareness of the nature all around. More people are planting pollinator gardens, which attract not only birds, but butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, making the air and water cleaner and healthier. We'll tell you how to create local habitat for birds and butterflies. Any space with a little bit of green, whether a few blades of grass in a vacant lot or a single tree, can be made into bird habitat. We'll tell you about birds that breed in the listening area, and birds that migrate through.

Long-time listeners may remember Chris Cooper talking about a hawk drama on his NYC rooftop and mentioning that nature is everywhere. We'll be exploring that concept in detail. Chris also said that birders can't turn off their observation of birds. It's amazing what science has learned from every-day birders--it's citizen science.

We begin the show with news stories. This week: King Charles III in Congress, Timmy the Humpback Whale, and sharks on co***ne.

Our music for you this week is the Jackson Five's cover of Leon René's 1958 song "Rockin' Robin".

NRC RUSHING TO DEREGULATE
R WAS FOR REGULATORY!

NRC technically stands for Nuclear Regulatory Commission, but the R stands for anything else - more now than ever before, to a dangerous degree. The Trump Administration doesn't want nuclear dangers regulated nor nuclear power plants delayed. This would be disastrous, but citizen activism can fight it. We'll explain how.

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster was 40 years ago on April 26. We will talk about some of the lessons that SHOULD have been learned from that.

Our guests this week:
Libbe HaLevy is the producer/host of Nuclear Hotseat, the weekly international news magazine on all things anti-nuclear. She is an author, playwright, and performance artist. Libbe’s play “Atomic Bill” recently had a world premiere staged reading for the Wilmington (Ohio) College Peace Resource Center's 50th Anniversary Celebration.
and
Lynda Williams is a former college professor, a physicist, songwriter, “singer by night and anti-nuclear warrior by day”, and is very good at connecting nuclear power and weapons issues. She went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with her one-woman show, “Atomic Cabaret”, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

We'll discuss the NRC NON-review of reactor designs previously approved by the Dept. of Energy or Dept. of Defense/War without citizen or environmental input. We'll be reporting on the demolition of the NRC as a regulatory agency. We also will discuss the influence of President Biden's “Advance Act”. We’ll discuss NRC’s recent accelerated deregulation attempts: We have information from a variety of sources.

It won't be all bad news. County Commission zoning can allow local activists to prevail in the fight. No nuclear power plant will be fully constructed before Trump leaves office, even if he's still there at age 100, and thus can be canceled. States cannot regulate radioactive safety, but they can regulate other toxic materials.

Comments needed
Fred Schofer, a retired NRC analyst, says that public comments matter to the NRC, as does press coverage.

In the meantime, you can make your comments known to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by going to www.regulations.gov and enter the docket numbers described below.

The first deadline for your comments is May 4th, where you can make your opinion known about the NRC eliminating review of reactor designs previously approved by the Dept. of Energy or Dept. of War without any further environmental review or public comment. Enter the docket number 2025-1503-0001.

The next deadline is May 11, which is about the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Paducah Laser Enrichment Facility (PLEF) in McCracken County, Kentucky, where decades of nuclear waste from the cold war is stored. The docket number is NRC-2025-1007.

We begin the show with news stories. This week: New Jersey caviar, the NESE pipeline, and Hawai‘i making roads from ocean plastic.

Our music for you this week is Joy Ryder and Avis Davis: “No More Nukes”.

GREEN AMENDMENTS
PROGRESS & OBSTACLES

Green amendments secure a constitutional right to pure water, clean air, a stable climate, & healthy environments for all people, including future generations, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomics.

It seems that such an amendment would not be needed because those rights would be automatic. However, we live in a society that values profit over environmental health. There is a movement to pass Green Amendments in every state. So far, three states have one (Pennsylvania, Montana, and New York) and 27 states have active campaigns.

Green amendments are designed to be self-executing, but in practice, even when one has been adopted, without enabling legislation, it is often overlooked. Too often, constitutional issues are looked at as matters of principle, as aspirational—but in reality, just like freedom of the press or freedom of assembly, they are meant to be realized in practice, not simply theories. Like so many beneficial laws, Green Amendments need to be enforced. Principle, without supporting laws, is rarely enough. Voter vigilance is always key. Especially now, with so many environmental protections being taken away or ignored, it's more important than ever for states to come through. Expecting politicians to come through without vigilance and activism is like Charlie Brown expecting Lucy to let him kick the football.

A Green Amendment is not the same as a Rights of Nature amendment (a coalition in Westchester County is working on Rights of Nature for New York); a Green Amendment provides for human rights to clean air, water, and environment, but does not provide for the right of a river to flow or wildlife to have protected habitat, for a couple of examples. One obstacle has been the “siloing” of such issues as public health, affordable housing, and environmental protection; they are all connected, and we need to come together to pass and use green amendments and other legislation.

We will discuss how to use this tool when we have it and how to get it when we don't yet, plus how to overcome lack of enabling statutes. What are the possible arguments against this amendment? What do we say to counter them? What are the Environmental Justice aspects of Green Amendments?

Our guests this week are Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper and founder of the Green Amendments For The Generations Movement and Joel Kupferman from the National Lawyers Guild Environmental Justice Committee.

We begin the show with news segments. This week: multitasking EVs, a successful beach recovery from overuse, and pocket gophers restoring the Mt. St. Helens ecosystem.

Our music for you this week is Paul Pino's “It Ain’t Over ’Til We Win,” Paul is a past guest on Eco-Logic and he is with the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium.

PUERTO RICO: PRIVATIZATION

Puerto Rico's natural beauty makes it a target of acquisition by the wealthy and connected. As so often happens, Indigenous people lose land, rights, and power to big corporate interests. Original Indigenous Taíno people's history and heritage is being destroyed or sold to private collections, as with so many archaeologic artifacts. From developers privatizing the beachront to the power grid continually going down, governments turn away the needs and interests of permanent residents in favor of wealthy foreigners and greedy corporate interests. What is happening and being attempted in Puerto Rico has happened in Hawaii, other tropical Pacific islands, several places in Central and South America, Europe, and Asia.

Puerto Rico would logically be a world model of renewable energy, with solar, wind, and tidal power being incredibly abundant, but fossil fuel companies and the conservative government are slowing down renewable energy's growth, even charging people monthly for having solar panels. However, Casa Pueblo’s long-existing solar panels in the central-midwestern Adjuntas community continue to show what is possible.

Hurricane María was possibly the worst hurricane ever to hit Puerto Rico and the needs of Puerto Ricans were ignored in favor of fossil fuel company interests. The Puerto Rico diaspora increased so much that there are now more Puerto Ricans living off the island than on it, and after the hurricane, members of the diaspora and allied organizations were instrumental in the recovery, which is still not complete.

Our guests this week are Puerto Rican activists David Galarza and Isatis Cintron-Rodriguez, Ph.D
Climate Governance & Participation Specialist, Climate Justice, Columbia University.

We begin the show with news segments. This week: environmental impacts of the war in Iran, King Penguins adapting to a warming climate, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau helping us identify greenwashing.

Our music for you this week is "Una Velita” (Visualizer)” by Bad Bunny.

GREENWASHING
HOW TO SPOT & STOP IT

Greenwashing is an attempt by an entity with bad environmental practices—usually a corporation or politician— to fool people that they are environmentally friendly. The term was coined in 1986 when Jay Westerveld realized that hotels’ asking guests not to change towels to save water was an attempt to distract from bigger environmental issues.

Greenwashing can be done in many ways. Some will have one division of their corporation that really is environmentally friendly, to try to pretend that their 95% poisonous environmental record is the same as the good 5%. Other corporations will use such words as sustainable, environmental, eco-friendly, green, or organic in an attempt to completely disguise their poisonous products.

On this episode, we will expose some of those practices and help you to identify greenwashing. This is an episode about corporate irresponsibility and corporate masquerades. We’ll talk about how they hide pollution—and how to avoid being deceived.

Our guests this week are plastics campaigner Lindsey Jurca from Greenpeace and Deanna Noël, campaigns director for Public Citizen’s Climate Program. Both organizations have been working on greenwashing issues for a long time.

Deanna Noël advocates for financial institutions and regulators to act on climate change and for automakers to transition to zero emission vehicles. Prior to joining Public Citizen, Deanna worked on campaigns to protect public lands and safeguard federal environmental laws including the Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Act.

Lindsey Jurca is a Senior Campaigner at Greenpeace, where she advances efforts to prevent plastic and petrochemical pollution, using research, policy, and advocacy to expose the true costs of plastics and petrochemicals. Prior to joining Greenpeace, Lindsey led global petrochemical and plastics campaigns at the Center for International Environmental Law.

We begin the show with news segments. This week: Big Seafood’s labor and sustainability problems, the big Greenpeace trial, greenwashing of the building industry, and environmental effects of war in Iran.

Our music for you this week is “Greenwashing” by New Zealand singer, songwriter, educator, Peter Weatherall.

ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVALS

Film Festivals have gotten very popular in recent years. This year we are devoting an entire episode to them. Some festivals specialize in environmental films. The Princeton Environmental Film Festival (PEFF) and the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) have each been going for over a decade. Long-time listeners will have heard us mention both of them often over the years.

Our guests, IUFF Co-founder Norbert Suchanek and Kim Dorman, Princeton Library Community Engagement Coordinator and PEFF Director, are veteran film festival producers and will discuss the inner workings of producing and promoting the festivals.

We'll also discuss
What is it like to run a Film Festival?
How are films chosen?
What is their relationship with filmmakers?
How do they get their venues?
What is their relationship with other film festivals?
Can you tell if a film is made or partially made with AI?
How have things changed since the Film Festival was established?
What was the motivation for doing and continuing to do a Film Festival?
Do you get greenwashing films?
Who attends?
Get the inside story!

We begin the show with news segments. This week: benefits of mangroves, fighting octopus farms, Indigenous fire management, and Spring Fever for wildlife.

Our music for you this week is songwriter, performer, and Eco-Logic Collective member Joel Landy singing “Rock Planet Earth”.
