Program: 00:00 Guided Meditation by Sandra Henville (BSWA) 24:24 Dhamma Talk by Dr Lydia See (Tzu Chi Foundation) Dharma Master Cheng Yen established the Tzu Chi Foundation in 1966 in Taiwan. The mission started with Charity, Medical Services, Education and Humanistic Values, and then extended further to Bone Marrow Donation, Environment Protection, Community Volunteerism and International Relief – Known as Tzu Chi's Eight Footprints. Tzu Chi's Australian footprints first appeared in Brisbane and Sydney in the early 1990s when members migrated to Australia from Taiwan. The Australian chapter of Tzu Chi Foundation was officially incorporated in 1996 and became a national body in 1999. Since then Tzu Chi Foundation has grown to encompass offices in Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Perth, with over 10,000 supporters Australia-wide. Volunteers offer their free time to serve the local communities. Their regular presence can be found in hospitals, nursing homes, hospice wards, school for deaf and blind children, and homeless centres. Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for teachings as it's a time for deepening their own practice. While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk.

Earth day is a worldwide movement that is getting an ever increasing number of people involved and makes tangible headway in trying to clean up planet earth.

In the latest episode of Corrs' Essential ESG podcast, Louise Camenzuli and Georgia Smith discuss likely upcoming reforms to Australia's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act).

What we need in Australia's new nature laws  The Federal government is overhauling the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act or EPBC Act (1999) after a damning review published in 2020. The public is encouraged to have their say via the following website:https://consult.dcceew.gov.au/australias-new-nature-positive-laws Euan Ritchie, Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at Deakin University, and his colleagues have described 5 things we need to see in Australia's new nature laws if we are to avoid disaster and even more biodiversity decline.

Kathryn Pacey, environment and planning partner is joined by Isabella Kelly, ESG senior associate and Jaya Prasad, solicitor in our energy and resources team to discuss the role of carbon and biodiversity offsets in meeting net zero and nature positive goals. They peel back the layers of government targets and regulatory reforms including the review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, Safeguard Mechanism, Australian Carbon Credit Units - and the new Nature Repair Bill. Amidst the increasing use of carbon credits to offset emissions in reaching climate targets, yet more layers are revealed including greenwashing, activist attention and disclosure considerations under the upcoming mandatory climate reporting regime and ISSB standards. Further complexities arise from multi-stakeholder carbon abatement projects, contracting arrangements and financial services requirements.

The federal government has today unveiled the details of its Federal Environmental Protection Agency to enforce the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation or EPBC Act.

Melanie Debenham and Tim Stutt are joined by Kathryn Pacey to break down an historic election where climate change featured prominently. The first six weeks of a new government have provided much to discuss including the Climate Change Bill to be introduced in the first week of parliament, a review to ensure the integrity of the carbon credit system (and similarly the Safeguard Mechanism), a $20 billion investment in transmission infrastructure and a raft of commitments in relation to green energy technologies. Along with the review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, a new environmental regulator and likely greater focus on action to benefit biodiversity.

New Japanese Environment Minister Akihiro Nishimura aims to achieve a virtuous economic circle while protecting the environment.

In this show we looked at the Living Wonders Legal Intervention. Community legal centre Environmental Justice Australia, on behalf of their client Environment Council of Central Queensland, has submitted 19 reconsideration requests to federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek, asking her to reconsider the first stage of the assessment of almost every pending coal and gas proposal and expansion across the country, currently on her desk. These reconsideration requests have been submitted under a rarely used provision of the Commonwealth legislation, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (under section 78A).We were fortunate to be joined by one of the lawyers from Environmental Justice Australia, Brittni Dienhoff. Brittni specialises in climate projects and has worked closely on the Living Wonders legal intervention.

The devastating 2020 Australian east coast bushfires were a critical point in history that highlighted the imperative for governments to collaborate across jurisdictions. At that time, Victoria and New South Wales worked together to establish insurance populations of species to ensure their ongoing survival.Over 100 years on, and with a whole new spectrum of environmental issues at the fore, all levels of governments are still refining how to work together to get the best outcomes for their own jurisdictions, Australian citizens and the environment.In this week's episode we are joined by Kate Lynch, the First Assistant Secretary of the Environment Protection division at the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment and Warrick McGrath, the Director of Biodiversity Regulatory Reform at the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning. Listen as they explore the topic of working across jurisdictions on environment, policy, and regulation.Discussed in this episode:The importance of relationships and trust.Collaborating across governments while maintaining jurisdictional loyalty.The role of Local Government.Tips for working with stakeholders on environmental policies.

Ted Dorand, PECO External Affairs Manager for Bucks County, was a Special Guest speaker at the April 19, 2022, meeting of the Newtown Economic Development Committee (EDC). In this audio clip, Mr. Dorand speaks about solar power in response to a question from Matt Peters, the Chair of the EDC, about installing solar panels in parking lots and/or other open spaces. Mr. Dorand also explains how PECO works with the PA Department of Environment Protection regarding the Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant (AFIG) Program, which provides funding to help municipalities replace older gasoline- or diesel-fueled vehicles with electric fueled vehicles. It also funds installation of electric fueling equipment for these vehicles. PECO has incentive programs around “make ready” costs.

What if you wanted to do something, but you didn't ever spell out quite what it is you want to achieve, and you didn't put any time or energy into doing it, and you didn't reflect on your progress towards achieving it, and you never agreed to commit to it? What do you suppose would be your chances of getting it done?That's pretty much how Australia's laws are going about protecting our native plants and animals.Australia has the highest species extinction rates in the world. Depressing? Yes. Can we do something about it? Yes.Anne & Kev speak with Carmel Killin about what we can do and what her community of over 200 artists have achieved already. Show notesLong Live the Species - see the artLong Live the Species - go to the exhibitionANU College of Law seminar on the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) by Dr Peter Burnettfind your representativeall about federal appropriation bills CreditsTheme music:One in Ten by UB40Sound effects:https://freesound.org/people/kangaroovindaloo/sounds/202572/Sofia's Dawn Chorus, in Fryers Forest, by kangaroovindaloohttps://freesound.org/people/Kinoton/sounds/494071/Big Tree Fall in Forest by Kinotonhttps://freesound.org/people/RutgerMuller/sounds/535352/Tree Chainsawed Drops.m4a by RutgerMullerhttps://freesound.org/people/deleted_user_2304/sounds/2871/dozer sample.wav by deleted_user_2304https://freesound.org/people/Nuclearboy/sounds/568877/Self Destruct/Alpha-11 Warhead Explosion by NuclearboyAll of the above sound effects licensed under the Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Australia’s native species are disappearing at an alarming late, with already more than 1800 plants and animals formally listed as threatened with extinction. The Australian government’s own report to the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity in March 2020 revealed the government failed to meet or measure the majority of its targets. Graeme Samuel's interim report for his review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act has highlighted the lack of resources being given to the department of the environment, and the need for an independent authority to audit and report on approvals processes. However, before Samuel's final report has been written, federal minister Sussan Ley has shown her readiness to shed federal environment approval powers and give them to the states and territories. Understorey speaks with Fremantle MP Josh Wilson, Shadow Assistant Minister for the Environment, about how the government's reduced resourcing strategy and "streamlining approvals" amendments will affect biodiversity across the continent, and impact the rule of law.

Australia has over 600 national parks, taking up over 28 million hectares of land. Much of which was destroyed in the 2019-20 fire season. In this episode Tessa speaks with Peta Norris, a NSW National Parks veteran, who's worked in wildlife conservation, land management, fire prevention, and as a park ranger and professional firefighter. She breaks down what caused the catastrophic fire events earlier this year and why the tried and tested techniques failed to contain the blazes. We also discuss the recent Bushfire Inquiry Report, why wildlife conservation is key, and the importance of listening to First Nations People. Peta's clued up on environmental law too, so we touch on the recent Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 review, and discuss whos got the most 'clout' when it comes to environmental law in Australia. And in true national park style....there's a symphony of birds singing in the background. Chirp chirp! Stay up to date by subscribing, and following on TNBU socials @thenaturebetweenuspodcast

A long-nosed Potoroo caught on a Reconyx HC600 camera during a nightly forage for truffles Photo courtesy of Vivianna Miritis As we've seen from recent reports Australia's environment is in decline due to the inadequacy of current laws and the Federal government's failure to administer the laws adequately and resource data collection. Rob Fowler is an Adjunct Professor in Environmental Law from the University of South Australia. He led the team of environmental law experts who developed the APEEL Report a blueprint for the next generarion of Australian environmental laws published in 2017. We discuss the Interim Report of the Samuel Review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act and his concerns that the Federal government is moving too quickly to devolve responsibility to the states.If you want to participate in the survey responding to the Interiim report of the Review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act click here. The long-nosed potoroo has been declared vulnerable due to loss of habitat and predation by foxes and feral cats. Vivianna Miritis investigated the interaction between long-nosed potoroos and feral cats during her honours research conducted at Deakin University. There were a few surprises as she explains. Vivianna is now enrolled in a PhD at the Unviversity of Sydney where she's looking at ways of advancing fauna conservation in post fire landscapes.    

Photo: Cover of Independent review of the EPBC Act Interim Report Melbourne's hard lockdown created unique challenges for people who use alcohol and other drugs. Adjunct Professor Nicole Lee from the National Drug Research Institute at Curtin University discusses how the Victorian government responded and what we can all to manage our alcohol use and stay safe during Covid-19. This month saw the approval of a pregnancy warning label that will appear on alcoholic beverages in Australia and New Zealand; labels that will be mandatory in the future.  But doesn't everyone already know that alcohol use during pregnancy may be damaging to the mother and the foetus? Well, maybe not. Elizabeth Elliott, Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Sydney discusses why pregnancy warning labels on alcoholic beverages are needed. She tells us about the campaign to have have the labels mandated, the groups that supported it and the opposition from the alcohol industry. Two reports released a month apart have highlighted the parlous state of Australia's environment and the Federal Government's failure to protect Australia's unique wildlife and habitat. Both the Auditor-General's report Referrals, Assessments and Approvals of Controlled Actions under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act and the Interim Report of of the Samuel Review of the EPBC Act have highlighted the need for urgent action. James Trezise, Nature Policy Analyst from the ACF, explains why action is needed and his concern that the Federal Government will cherry-pick the recommendations that suit their desire to reduce so-called 'green tape', leaving the environment even more at risk.     

‘Once in a decade chance': Australia's environment law review and why it mattersLidia Thorpe, Gunai/Brabwauloong/Briakaloong/DjapWurrung/Gunditjmara Greens Senator;  and Suzanne Milthorpe, Environment Law campaigner for the Wilderness Society discuss what's wrong with Australia's environment laws, the government's plans for a hasty fix in regards to the ongoing Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act review, and why it might not solve the problem.Music by The Black Ducks - 'People of the Mountains and the Sea' (Desert Pea Media) Earth Matters #1254 was produced by Else Kennedy

Guardian Australia’s environment editor, Adam Morton, joins Katharine Murphy to discuss the recent damning review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. The review, led by Graeme Samuel, starkly states the current protection laws are ineffective and have led to an unsustainable environmental trajectory. Could the sweeping changes recommended lead to better legislation? And will the government act?

Air pollution is nicknamed as 'the silent killer' in Afghanistan. In 2019, the PM2.5 levels placed Afghanistan as the 4th most polluted country in the world (one rank after Mongolia). Join us this week with Naqib Sediqi, from the National Environment Protection Agency, as we get briefed on the current state of air pollution in Afghanistan. Mr. Sediki informed us that there is a lack of studies and research on the subject of air pollution in his country and he gave us his long list of recommendations which he thinks might help.

It's a special episode! Assoc. Prof. Dr. Perter Burnett from the Australian National University tells me about the calamitous failures of the administration of Australia's environment laws, as reported by the Australian National Audit Office, in this report from the Auditor-General, "Referrals, Assessments and Approvals of Controlled Actions under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999" After 20 years working in government managing and reviewing environment policy, this report shocked him.  It's no wonder our threatened species have fared so badly over the last decade. Pay special attention to Peter's comments about the major tool of the department in this policy area, offsets! Read Peter's article from The Conversation here. Honour Roll - You have to give credit where credit is due! It's NSW environment minister, Matt Kean, who purchased Narriearra station in the state's far north-west, for a new national park. As mentioned in The Guardian, "The area includes wetlands listed as nationally significant and is home to at least 27 threatened species, including almost 90% of the endangered grey grasswren's habitat and breeding areas."  Hooray! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jun/27/nsw-makes-record-land-purchase-for-new-national-park Follow me on Twitter @birdemergency Currently trying to get some eyes and subscribers on The Bird Emergency on YouTube, so I can put a bit more effort into the video side of things, so if you would like more visual content, please subscribe, and I will watch with interest if that's what you want!

While we've been preoccupied with the pandemic, a significant review of Australia's national environmental laws has been underway. The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (or EPBC Act) is only reviewed once every 10 years and green groups say it's time the laws considered climate change. Plus, if you've been having more anxiety dreams we'll tell you what they mean and what you can do about them. And, the latest rental affordability figures highlight just how hard it is for struggling young people to find a home.

On this weeks show you will hear the highlights from the recent webinar ~ Yeelirrie, a case for environmental law reform. You'll hear from Ruby Hamilton a solicitor from the Environmental Defenders Office of WA You will hear from Australian Conservation Foundation, Environmental Investigator and Mia Pepper from the Mineral Policy Institute.The story of the Yeelirrie uranium mine approvals process at a State and Federal level is shocking.  The Western Australian EPA rejected the mining application because of an unacceptable risk of causing the extinction of unique species.   Yet the WA Government approved the mine immediately before calling an election - and the Federal Government did the same thing. Under recently obtained, Freedom of Information, alarming documents demonstrate a lack of transparency and an urgent need for environmental law reform to protect species from becoming extinct.The nuclear industry is pushing for the nuclear power ban and the uranium trigger to be lifted from the current review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.The Yeelirrie uranium mine assessment process is a very clear indication of how environmental laws are failing in fair transparent processes. We urgently need improved environmental laws that prevent political influence and improves the agility in the Federal environmental department to protect species from becoming extinct.Please write a submission today!

While covid-19 understandably dominates the headlines, important environmental news risks being marginalised. Take the annual Australia-wide State of Environment Report, declaring 2019 “probably the worst year in a century.” Conservationists warn governments are also weakening environmental protections, exactly at a time when the voters are too busy with a pandemic to notice. Understorey dips into a pre-covid example, examining emails and letters obtained through Freedom of Information about the Yeelirrie uranium mine approval. Hours before the 2019 election was called, from her Geraldton electoral office the Minister for the Environment signed off the necessary federal approvals for Cameco to mine uranium until 2043. Apart from casting aside scientific concern for threatened species protections, the Minister took into account the advice given by a Resources Minister. The government's current review into the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 could widen the democratic deficit. Dave Sweeney from the Australian Conservation Foundation hopes people will make submissions,[now open](https://environment.au.citizenspace.com/epbc-review/epbc-act-review-submission-discussion-paper/) until April 17th, to call for more EPBC independence.

Dr.Luna Panda speaks On Environment Protection by Tribal Women - Report

We talk with Zoe Weil, the co-founder and president of the Institute for Humane Education. She talks about providing young people with the knowledge, tools, and motivation to address our pressing challenges in order to transform unsustainable and unjust systems into ones that are humane, healthy, and peaceful.

January 2, 2018 Sunny with high temperatures in the mid-20s. NEW LAWS TAKE EFFECT ON SALES TAX, ESTATE TAX, MINIMUM WAGE The state sales tax has dropped to just over 6.6 percent and the estate tax has been eliminated, now that 2018 has arrived, Patch.com reports. The minimum wage in New Jersey has been raised 16 cents to $8.60 an hour. And in an effort to cut down the length of lines at the Motor Vehicle Commission offices, driver’s licenses and state ID cards will expire every four years on the numerical day of the holder’s birthday instead of at the end of the month. The driver’s license change should take effect by February. STATE’S FIRST SIKH MAYOR TAKES OATH OF OFFICE IN HOBOKEN Immediately after being sworn in on Monday, Hoboken’s new mayor, Ravi Bhalla, signed his first executive order, declaring the municipality a “fair and welcoming city,” News 12 New Jersey reports. Under the order, police and other officials will not use city resources to enforce federal immigration laws except when they are legally required to do so. Bhalla, who was the subject of racist fliers in the mayoral campaign, is the first Sikh to be elected mayor in New Jersey. LAWMAKERS MAY REVOKE RULE ALLOWING DEVELOPMENT IN HIGHLANDS The state Senate and the Assembly are expected to vote Thursday to rescind a rule adopted by the Department of Environment Protection last summer that eased restrictions on the number of septic tanks in the New Jersey Highlands, Tom Johnson writes for NJ Spotlight. The regulation would have opened up some of the forested land to more development. If the Legislature revokes the rule, it would be a rare rebuke to the administration of Gov. Chris Christie in its final days. TEENAGER FACES HEARING TODAY IN LONG BRANCH SLAYINGS A 16-year-old boy was arrested after the killings of his parents, his sister and a family friend on New Year’s Eve, Jessica Remo reports for NJ.com. Prosecutors said they would seek to have the teenager tried as an adult in the fatal shootings. Authorities have not commented on a motive in the killings. TEMPORARY HOUSING IN NJ ENDING FOR PUERTO RICANS The federal program that has housed in hotels and motels nearly 4,000 families who were displaced from their homes in Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria is ending this month, Monsy Alvarado writes for The Record. New Jersey hotels have been the temporary home to 72 of the displaced families in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Transitional Shelter Assistance Program, which ends Jan. 13. Puerto Rico's governor, Ricardo Rosselló, has asked federal authorities for an extension. TETERBORO AIRPORT: VITAL LINK, NUISANCE OR DANGER? When Teterboro Airport opened in 1919, it was the first airport in the New York metropolitan area. But now there are clashing views on whether the airport run by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a vital economic driver for the area or an outdated facility whose noise disturbs neighbors and whose low-flying jets pose dangers. Vivian Wang of The New York Times takes a look at Teterboro’s history and future. ATLANTIC CITY BEGINNING YEAR WITH WAVE OF OPTIMISM Beleaguered for the last decade with casino closings and dropping property values, Atlantic City may be heading for a resurgence in 2018, Nicholas Huba writes in the Press of Atlantic City. Set to open this year are more than $800 million in private investment projects, including the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, the Stockton University Gateway project, the Beach at South Inlet and possibly the reopening of the Revel. And if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns the federal ban on sports betting, that would open more opportunities for casino operators.

I have just come away from a devastatingly powerful interview by a very clear, communicator - Phyllis Tichinin. This being a ‘two tiered discourse’ - one that validated what I thought was happening in relation to glyphosate, but shocked me to the core all the same. The other confirmed that there is a fast growing healthy, non chemical, biological revolution of farming and horticulture happening across the rural face of NZ and beyond. If this interview was played over Radio New Zealand’s nationwide network it would have mothers of babies and children in uproar. First: Is Glyphosate ‘slowly’ killing everything it comes into contact with, including humans? The statistics are saying yes! The research being collated from all around our planet is confirming a coming nightmare. It is looking grim for most biota. That means you and your family, animals and vegetation including the elements of air, soil and water. Regrettably, it looks like the unbridled avarice and corruption of the biotech corporations especially Monsanto, with their unscrupulous insiders - in allowing this cleverly disguised toxin into the sacredness of the world’s environment - is having a devastating affect on all planetary biota. Second: This is really good. There is a powerful yet quiet revolution happening across NZ (and globally) that farmers horticulturists and market gardeners have realised that there is another unique way of growing healthy food, without chemicals, called ‘biological agriculture’ that is rapidly gaining prominence over the chemical agribusiness that is taking down our country’s clean green image. (if we really had one) That NZer Graeme Sait, American Arden Andersen and Australian Christine Jones, among many others have been at the forefront of introducing this methods to the world (all three have been interviewed on GreenplanetFM.com). Thus, we have come to an important shift of perspective and of action. We are crossing over into a new paradigm not only in land management and connection, but to one of a new consciousness in our relationship to all planetary biota. Phyllis who comes from California has a degree in Environmental Planning and Management with emphasis on soils and Ag economics, and worked for the State of California in ministerial level positions in energy conservation policy, municipal waste, hazardous waste management and coastal regulation. She is now based here in the Hawkes Bay NZ. When in America, she met and married a NZer who was studying for his graduate degree in ecology and his focus was on the regulation of pesticides and insecticides and their affect on all levels of the environment, biota and ultimately the food chain. Thus with her environmental credentials plus her husband’s PhD in ecology she has embedded a very good understanding of how the environment is being saturated by chemical pesticides and insecticides. Her ongoing focus has continued to cover the situation of soil, microbes, water and that extends into human health and what it’s doing in particular to our gut bacteria and the increasing understanding of microflora that inhabits our stomach and intestines. Over the last 20 years, this has been a major theme that she has continued to deepen her understanding of the connection between soil fertility and environmental health where she has branched out and has her own business based in True Health an animal remedies firm. Where she imports specially made up certified organic tinctures - plant based extracts to act as alternatives to antibiotics so as to assist farmers to wean their farm animals off antibiotics. She has a small farm on highly mineralised, high brix soils with diverse pastures with her cows producing high saturated fats, including cholesterol that when taken appropriately she says are very helpful for the human body. She has spent a lot of time with biological agriculture exponents Graeme Sait and Arden Andersen who are at the fore-front of a farming phenomena where they are doing brix tests on soils and remineralising them, bringing about healthy microflora especially fungi and bacteria including earthworm populations. Leading to healthy rapid vegetation growth. Thus doing away with chemicals fertilisation and applications. In South Africa, where Graeme has a huge following pulling in very large crowds to his talks and field days he has had Woolworths the supermarket chain (not to be confused with the Australian & New Zealand group) through their 500 plus stores switch over to only sourcing food and produce from biological farmers under the name of “Farming for the Future, a holistic approach.” In this interview, Phyllis clearly covers the major benefits of biological farming, having brought Graeme Sait to NZ for numerous courses where hundreds of NZ farmers attend and many more have now switched across to biological methods. This is where the soil is well mineralised and balanced, becoming more microbially alive and diverse and producing more pasture. What this method leads too is better quality and healthy fruit and vegetable that store well, taste great and have higher mineral and vitamin content (higher Brix) This means higher dissolved solids which indicates that the food is going to be better for us. By creating food from the soil up that heals people, that nourishes them deeply not just fulfills a hunger - but that they have the mineral building blocks to createthe enzymes and the tissues withintegrity - that actually translates into full and optimal health. However, statistics from around the world are showing that the percentage of vitamins and minerals in our food are decreasing at an alarming rate. This decline is continuing and it has been linked to orthodox farming practices due the way we have been fertilising the soil and applying insecticides and herbicides to foliage. What this has been doing, in the words of Graeme Sait, we have been ‘bombing the microbe bridge’ that allows minerals to be absorbed by the plant in their ideal and proper forms. This is why plants are becoming too weak to be able to produce their own ability to repel insects and the more we farm in this archaic method, the more chemicals and sprays will be used as we embark down a slippery slope of poor soils, unhealthier vegetation and higher costs to both the the land, the farmer and consumer. Healthy soils and healthy plants result in the plants being able to repel pests because they are so strong and robust. We need to know that all plants are medicinal as well as producers of food. Protection of the Environment & Protection of Human Health. If there was leadership in the EPA ‘Environmental Protection Agency’ especially in the USA, we the global consumer would be far more safer and the ecology would be too. However, this is a global phenomenon, most countries have a poor record of making sure biotech companies are up front and legally fulfilling the precautionary principle. With the EPA, a US Government Department it is known as the Global default watchdog of what is allowed out into the environment but it is poorly financed and it is deliberately kept to a low budget. This way it leaves the door open to when the large biotech conglomerates like Bayer, Dupont, Syngenta and Monsanto want to apply for a product to be released into the environment they are allowed tp submit their own ‘safety’ studies that they paid for themselves. Yet time and time again they have posted fraudulent data, or manipulated it or made up the facts, or underplayed the risks that is has been near on farcical in many instances. Now all that needs to be done is for the EPA to charge the applicants a far higher fee so as to employ the numbers and qualified personnel to test on behalf of the EPA. For there have been so many instances of even independent labs doing the tests and they have been found out, for fraud and taken to court, fined and jailed, but it still goes on solely because of the vastness of what is happening across the USA. From a political science standpoint, which was generally the topic of her husband’s PhD thesis that in the US the EPA which has a global standing has never been in a position to be financially able to do the necessary research. So why is the EPA so short of funds to be not able to do thorough testing? Well there is a cosy situation. That politically from the beginning the EPA lacked the quality and caliber of the scientists to evaluate the industry generated safety studies in the first place. The cosy chemical corporate lobbyists are cosy with the chairman of the Senate Agricultural Committee in Congress for example and they make sure that the EPA has a very, very modest budget and they can never really keep up with the industry bought scientists. And it they do, they usually they don’t last very long. So there is a revolving door where the head of the EPA or the head of the US Food and Agriculture or some other regulatory agency happens to have been Chief Council for Monsanto for example, that definitely has happened and they put him in charge of approving Genetically Engineered crops in the early 1990’s There are multiple examples of someone from the industry been brought in to regulate their previous industry. Unfortunately, this happens time and time again. We now have the ubiquitous use of chemicals globally, remember the DDT spraying of everyone, and then the hurried ban on it? (No, very few do - as mistakes are quickly buried and covered up.) The ever present use of herbicides and insecticides globally is having a disturbing effect – not only in the rural sector and farms but now in urban areas for parks and pristine home lawns. The conventional NZ farmer /market gardener today are increasingly finding that they are totally incongruent with the precautionary principle, that when they awaken in the morning, their thoughts are based on – not what they are going to grow today, but what they are having to kill today? Which becomes a full frontal chemical attack of so many different sprays – so the farmers in essence, lose heart in that they are not 100% proud of their produce, because they know that it’s covered in poisons - so they can not really hold their head high and be proud. Little does the NZ consumer know that under the auspices of the EPA, the ‘Environmental Protection Agency’ formerly ERMA the Environmental Risk Management Authority, that they they seem to have seemingly robust standards, yet they do not adhere to them. As a result - Agriculture has become a killing field instead of a growing field. A New Understanding. In the last 4-5 years there has been a greater public understanding and reconnection across the soils, science, farming and health sector that microbes are the key to our planet functioning. In particular, the ‘gut micro biome’ and their community and the health of these are critical to our own health. Which equals a diverse healthy ‘integrated micro biome’ be it on our skin, in the water, gut, tissue, blood – we need to have an inner ecology that is a reflection of a healthy outside ecology. Science is today seeing that the human gut microbiome has been seriously compromised by anti-biotics, plus herbicides and insecticides . They are notching that the vegas nerve from our gut microbiome to our brain is increasingly being affected as a result. This affects our mood, thoughts and feelings - depending on the state of the health of our gut. Even the risks for alzheimers is increase dramatically. Very few in the Western world have a robust healthy gut. C section births was mentioned too as problematic as babies born of the birth canal are far more able to cope because they picked up antibodies in the birth canal journey . To sort this there is the GAPS diet cleanse that may be able to assist. Marketing of broad spectrum herbicides: Round Up and its active ingredient glyphosate is now marketed globally by a great number of companies as a broad spectrum weed killer. It is extremely capable of killing all vegetation other than Monsanto’s GMO or GE ‘Round Up’ – ready, corn, soy and canola and as glyphosate use increases every year now - up to between 800,000 and a million tonnes is sprayed annually world wide. It is now in our air, our water, in our food, and when we look into our food, there it is. 10 of the largest wineries in California have found it in their bottled wine. So it is now in our bodies and especially our growing babies, infants and children and we have no idea where this is leading us. It is also an antibiotic that is having a slow but continuous effect on our gut bacteria. This is just one of the many impacts that Monsanto’s glyphosate has. It locks up minerals to the point that it is difficult for our body to get full nutrition. It directly causes infertility in all mammals. It blocks the transport of sulphur within our body and it shuts down our body to detoxify environmental toxins – through the cytochrome p4 50 enzyme pathway which is part of our liver system for detoxifying chemicals . So not only is glyphosate an antibiotic, but is shuts down our own ability to detoxify glyphosate itself and most other environmental toxins. With the increase of glyphosate we are also correlating an increase in alhzeimers, cancers , breast cancer in particular – non-Hodgkin lymphoma’s and autism is the big one. The strongest correlation between glyphosate and Round Up is the marked increase in autism. Autism is related to gut microbiome dysfunction. Plus lack of sulphur transport. With plummeting fertility rates too. Phyllis asked the question – how are we going to function as a society when one out of 6 males in particular, but females as well is autistic and cannot function on a normal basis? Specifically - when they need to be reliable, hold down a job, interact with people, this is becoming a huge, huge issue. This Interview then covers the NZ environmental health authorities, previously it was ERMA and now the EPA who have approved every single application for a GE or GMO trial in NZ that have come to them. There has been over 60 applications some actually outdoor trials! So out of all of these expensive trials, none of them were commercialisable whilst at the same time ran tremendous risks of exposing the NZ environment to GE and GMO ‘constructs ‘ that for all we know could still be in our environment - hidden away from us! The fact that microbes are so small and can quite possibly mutate once they are out there , it is then basically impossible to retrieve them. This is what is in supposedly clean green NZ that we were exposed too. Regarding GE & GMO release, note that no insurance company globally is willing to insure in the case of a New Zealand GE or GMO mishap, because the liabilities would be so vast and could last to 20 to a hundred years for all we know – so they realise that GMO tests are problematic in the extreme. So who carries the can if there is a major mishap? In our country it won’t be the government - who is allowing this to happen, it will be we, the people!  Over seas you will notice no country wants to pay a premium for GMO food, not one. Why? Because it lacks quality nutrition and who really knows what is embedded in GE food? However, what is becoming very noticeable is that many countries are wanting to pay a premium of non GE & GMO and organic food. The reason is obvious. Organics and Premium Returns. Organics in NZ has had a very bad rap for many years, being manipulated by mainstream media photos and video footage to be seen especially by the people living in the rural sector, as a hippy thing or non scientific – this being far from the case. In NZ today, organic dairy farmers are getting $9.20 a kilogram of milk solids as against normal farming of $5.00 – so the conservative NZ dairy farmer is dragging his own chains! Phyllis emphatically states that mainstream farmers do not have to wear thongs or jandals or grow a beard to go organic! Or not having to stop wearing deodorant! In the US, organics is really spiking and in the dairy sector too. There is a 20% increase in production per year and it is growing fast especially with the growth of organic stores and supermarkets. As consumers we need to vote with our dollars this is critical to where shape our future. High quality high brix food, more regenerative input and biological agriculture are gaining momentum. http://blog.nutri-tech.com.au/the-beauty-of-brix/ She states if we want to involve ourselves and even get angry if that is what it takes to control our food choices then we need to get involved! Create a small demo and front up! There are people creating products that are harming us and our babies – so we have to shake ourselves out of our collective stupor and take control of what we put in our bodies. We also need a gigantic co-operative organic super-market here in NZ to blow everything open! Web site www.Truehealth.co.nz.
