Dow Chemical, known for products like Dursban, Napalm, and Agent Orange, is now entering the food business. The company seeks government approval for genetically engineered (GE) corn and soybeans designed to withstand repeated dousing with 2,4-D, a component of Agent Orange. This raises significant concerns about trusting Dow Chemical with our food supply.

Producer Ian Kibbe discusses "Greener Pastures," a compelling PBS documentary, in this podcast. The film delves into the struggles, hopes, and resilience of America's family farmers, addressing the urgent challenges shaping agriculture today.

The interview highlights key voices such as Jeff Ditzenberger, a veteran corn and soybean farmer and founder of Rural Minds and TUGS, alongside Chris Petersen, a sustainable agriculture advocate and board member of the Organization of Competitive Markets.

Produced by Bob Trench and interviewed by Paul Steinbroner, this podcast is presented by Sustainability Action Media, an Earthsayers project.

Not all green solutions are created equal. Many eco-friendly alternatives, from corn-based biofuels to biodegradable plastics, promise to save the planet—but do they truly deliver? In this engaging talk, sustainability researcher and Georgia Tech professor Patricia Stathatou shares a powerful 3-question framework to cut through the hype and assess the true environmental impact of emerging technologies. Drawing on surprising case studies, such as the unintended consequences of ethanol and the progress of electric vehicles, she reveals how to evaluate products and policies across their full lifecycle, from production to disposal.

As an assistant professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech, Patricia specializes in sustainable water and energy systems, working to redefine their design and assessment. Her research, featured in Forbes and WSB-TV, integrates life cycle and techno-economic assessments with real-world data to drive sustainability. With a doctorate from the National Technical University of Athens and postdoctoral research at MIT, she has also contributed to international standards, including marine fuel guidelines for the International Maritime Organization, accelerating the transition to cleaner technologies and more sustainable environmental solutions.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Wallace’s flying frogs employ a unique camouflage strategy: masquerading as bird droppings. Researchers discovered that young froglets, painted to resemble fecal matter with red and white splotches, were attacked half as often by predators as those with solid colors. This "fecal camo" helps these young frogs survive to adulthood, allowing them to grow into the green, web-footed adults found in rainforest canopies.

This fascinating research was highlighted by the Center for Biological Diversity in [Endangered Earth Online](https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/publications/earthonline/endangered-earth-online-no1231.html) and a [Scientific American report](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/this-flying-frog-spends-its-youth-masquerading-as-poop/). The Center, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to protect diverse wild species through science, law, and creative media, ensuring a future where the wild thrives.

Five endangered red wolf pups underscore the urgent need to save this species from extinction. With fewer than 20 known in the wild, red wolves are among the world's most endangered carnivores. A new draft recovery plan, proposed by the Fish and Wildlife Service in September 2022, offers a crucial step forward after 32 years.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, believes human welfare is deeply linked to nature and biodiversity. We work through science, law, and creative media to protect species on the brink of extinction, ensuring a future where the wild thrives. Learn more and take action at biologicaldiversity.org.

On February 7, 2021, David Courchene III hosted Session 2 via Zoom, featuring the Red Shadow Singers and Knowledge Keepers Mary and Robert Maytwayashing, and singer Cody Courchene. The session focused on translating ceremonial songs.

Mary Maytwayashing shared the Ojibwe translation and significance of the Nibi Water Song, received in a dream. Cody Courchene presented the Turtle, Black Bear, and Calling In Songs, which were translated by Robert Maytwayashing.

Produced by David Courchene III and Pic River Development Corp (PRDC), this session built upon previous work. You can watch Red Shadow Singers Traditional Drum Songs: Learn the Meaning Behind the Songs (Session 1) here.

New Yorker writer Eliza Griswold and UC Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild traveled to "Trump country" to challenge stereotypes and understand environmental perspectives beyond the "red state, blue state" divide. Griswold explored fracking's impact in Pennsylvania, while Hochschild immersed herself in rural Louisiana. Both emerged with honest portraits of a misunderstood America.

The discussion also covered the U.S. fracking boom, which has made the country the world's largest oil producer. Bethany McLean's book, *Saudi America*, examines fracking's past, present, and future. However, this fossil fuel expansion conflicts with Paris climate accord goals, prompting questions about the future of energy. Learn more at climateone.org.
