Resilient Earth Radio

Welcome to RESILIENT EARTH RADIO where we host speakers from the United States and around the world to talk about critical issues facing our planet and the positive actions people are taking. We also let our listeners learn how they can get involved and make a difference.

Hosts are Leigh Anne Lindsey, Producer Sea Storm Studios and GM of KGUA 88.3FM (an independent public radio station on the Northern California coast), and Scott & Tree Mercer, Founders, Mendonoma Whale & Seal Study.

A focus of this podcast series are Nature-Based Economies that help rebalance the Earth and raise awareness about the value of whales, elephants, mangroves, seagrass, the deep seas, waterways and forests - our natural world - towards that rebalancing. This addresses the effects of our own human-caused climate change, and what we can do about it - from simple steps to grand gestures!

Global experts, citizen scientists, activists, fisher folk, and educators examine and explain ciritical issues facing our planet and actions people are taking to mitigate and rebalance climate. We discuss the critical role of carbon storage, and how it is essential for all life forms on earth.

This awareness could lead to new laws, policies and procedures to help protect these valuable resources, and encourage economies around them to replace the existing exploitation of oceans, forests, and animals.

Taking positive action, and getting people involved, that's our goal.

Guest

Eben Schwartz, California Coastal Commission, Marine Debris Program Mgr.

Mr. Schwartz serves as the Marine Debris Program Manager for the California Coastal Commission, the agency charged with protection and regulation of the state’s 1,100-mile coastline. He has advised state and local governments, non-profit organizations, and members of industry on actions and programs that can reduce the causes of marine debris.

With a long and broad history of work on plastic pollution and marine debris, topics on which he has become one of the state’s leading authorities, he has been a leader of California Coastal Cleanup Day, California’s largest volunteer event, as well as the year-round Adopt-A-Beach Program, motivating tens of thousands of citizens to fight against plastic pollution. Mr. Schwartz served as advisor and author for the California Ocean Protection Council’s Resolution on Marine Debris. The resolution, passed in February 2007, is the most comprehensive policy statement on marine debris in California’s history.
