Loss of Heritage
Listen to RRI President, Huey Johnson, on how the 1929 crash led to the Save
the Redwoods League, why Michigan Governor Granholm won't turn wetlands into
green jobs, what the Depression can teach us about long-term stewardship of
natural heritage, and what makes the real quality of life.
Preservation of Heritage
Everything has a price; few things have a value: Huey Johnson tells a
personal story of how the movement to preserve natural heritage arose from
promises to defend it with "every last breath and every last dollar."
91.7 KALW Your Call: Picking Winners in the Green Economy
Should the state play a primary role picking winners in the green economy? On the next Your Call we'll discuss who should take the lead creating the new jobs and new technologies that will reverse the damage of the oil-based economy. Measures on November's ballot in California would boost high-speed rail, natural gas cars, and certain kinds of renewable energy. Should the state favor specific technologies, like cars that use natural gas? Should the state just set general rules and leave the rest to the market? It's Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.
