    Keeping Coal Out of Oakland

    Organizers are keeping up the fight against a proposed coal export terminal in West Oakland, where residents already face a high burden from environmental pollutants.

More than a decade ago, residents of Oakland, California, first got wind of a plan to export coal from their city through a proposed bulk commodity export terminal. Initially, developers reassured residents that the facility wouldn’t export coal. But it soon became clear that wasn’t the case. Community members and environmental groups have been organizing against the plan ever since. Then, in June, the project got a major boost: President Trump announced that he would provide $75 million to support its construction, part of a larger influx of cash for the United States’ dying coal industry. The announcement injected new life into the terminal, and also into the opposition. Margaret Rossoff, coordinating committee member of No Coal in Oakland, and Veronica Eady, executive director of the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, talk with Terra Verde Co-host and Earth Island Journal Managing Editor Zoe Loftus-Farren about where things stand.

    Imagining an Ecological Civilization

    Author and speaker Jeremy Lent suggests that as climate change, inequality, and social fragmentation intensify, humanity faces an imminent choice. We can either continue with the same system of extraction, exploitation, and endless growth that created the polycrisis we now face—which will almost certainly lead to collapse—or, we can reimagine civilization itself.  In his new book, Ecocivilization: Making a World that Works for All, Jeremy Lent presents that reimagination. Guided by proven design principles of ecosystems, the book provides a practical framework that shows how every major sector of society could be redesigned to achieve ecocivilization. Terra Verde co-host Fiona McLeod speaks with Jeremy Lent about this vision for deep, system-wide transformation. They discuss some of the important work already in motion that shows how another world is entirely possible—even against the tremendous odds we collectively face.  The post Imagining an Ecological Civilization appeared first on KPFA.

    A Call to Exercise Our Right to Protest

    Veteran environmental activists André Carothers and Annie Leonard have spent decades protesting for climate action, environmental protection, and human rights. Photo by Brooke Anderson. The right to speak freely, to organize and protest injustice is under threat across much of the world right now. In the United States, in particular, protesters — especially those focused on environmental justice and immigrant rights — are facing targeted violence from state forces. Yet, peaceful protest— which is a protected right in this country — is a cornerstone of participatory democracy. In this episode of Terra Verde, Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief Maureen Nandini Mitra speaks with two veteran Berkeley activists, Annie Leonard and André Carothers, about their new book Protest: Respect It Defend It Use It, which showcases the role peaceful activism has played over centuries in advancing the public good. Both Carothers and Leonard have been watching the increasing vilification of protest with growing concern, but they say, we must continue exercise this fundamental right even when it might feel unsafe to do so.   The post A Call to Exercise Our Right to Protest appeared first on KPFA.

    Standing Up for Youth Climate Rights

    Eighteen young people are challenging the EPA’s repeal of the 2009 “endangerment finding” on constitutional grounds. The finding provided the basis for federal climate policy,including the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from cars, trucks, and power plants. Photo by Sila Lundquist / Unsplash. Earlier this year, the Trump administration repealed the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2009 “endangerment finding” that greenhouse gases pose a danger to public health. The determination was, until now, the foundation for federal climate policy. Among many challenges to the repeal, one stands out: a youth-led petition based on the constitutional rights to life, liberty, and religious freedom. Terra Verde host Zoe Loftus-Farren speaks with Elena Venner, a college student and the lead petitioner, and Julia Olson, the founder, co-executive director, and chief legal counsel of Our Children’s Trust, the public interest law firm representing young people in the petition.

    Toxic Legacies on the San Francisco Bay Shoreline

    The former Zeneca chemical facility site in Richmond, CA, a contaminated shoreline property that has become a focal point for community concerns about environmental health, cleanup efforts, and the future impacts of sea level rise along San Francisco Bay. Photo courtesy of Richmond Shoreline Alliance. Across the San Francisco Bay shoreline, communities are living alongside the legacy of more than a century of industrial activity. From former chemical manufacturing facilities to hazardous waste sites, contaminated lands and waterways continue to shape the environment and public health of waterfront neighborhoods. As climate change drives sea level rise and raises groundwater tables, new questions are emerging about what happens when these contaminated sites meet a changing shoreline. In this episode of Terra Verde, host and producer Hannah Wilton speaks with Kevin G. Ruano Hernandez of Richmond Shoreline Alliance and Makayla Marquez of San Francisco Baykeeper about environmental justice, shoreline contamination, and efforts to build more resilient waterfront communities in the face of climate change. The conversation explores Richmond’s industrial history and the ongoing challenges posed by contaminated sites such as the United Heckathorn Superfund site and the former Zeneca chemical facility. To learn more, consider joining Richmond Shoreline Alliance and local environmental justice leaders for a Toxic Tour of the former Zeneca site. You can also report pollution concerns to SF Baykeeper through its pollution hotline 1-800-KEEP-BAY. The post Toxic Legacies on the San Francisco Bay Shoreline appeared first on KPFA.
