Guest: David BeckmanThis week on Untapped Philanthropy, David Beckman, President of the Pisces Foundation, challenges conventional thinking in environmental philanthropy. From his early legal advocacy to leading a foundation, Beckman shares how narrative, influence, and funding structures—not policy alone—shape the path to real change. He discusses the importance of local engagement, participatory grantmaking, and expanding support for frontline BIPOC-led organizations.To learn more about the Pisces Foundation, visit: www.piscesfoundation.orgTo learn more about Fluxx, visit: www.fluxx.ioTo learn more about NeonOne, visit: www.neonone.comEpisodes of Untapped Philanthropy are edited, mixed, and mastered by Rocket Skates Recording.

This episode expresses directly and strongly the reasons and the purpose of producing Creative FRONTLINE since its beginning on KPFK as “Climate Change. Is Here” in 2022. As stated by a Yankton Lakota colleague to me, “Robert, you have two audiences, Non-Native and NaIIve. " It's never been a vehicle for Native activism per se, it's always been a pathway for understanding the need and importance of Native values in a multi-culturalmcontext, and in the context of environmental healing and service held by all peoples as an extension ormvolution of “The Environmental Movement, in the United States but also globally.

The Rights of Nature movement launched internationally in 2006 and is growing fast. Driven primarily by tribes and citizen-led communities, more than three dozen cities, townships and counties across the U.S. have adopted such laws to create legally enforceable rights for ecosystems to exist, flourish, regenerate and evolve. Native American attorneys, Frank Bibeau and Samantha Skenandore, and legal movement leader Thomas Linzey report from the front lines how they are honing their strategies to protect natural systems for future generations. Featuring Frank Bibeau, an enrolled member of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, is an activist and tribal attorney who works extensively on Chippewa treaty and civil rights, sovereignty and water protection. Thomas Linzey, Senior Legal Counsel for the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights (CDER), an organization committed to advancing the legal rights of nature and environmental rights globally.

Guest Rebecca Terrell, The New American, joins to discuss ongoing push to battle "carbon" in the world by using carbon capture pipelines. What is it, and what is it doing to rural communities, farm land, and more? Is there a bigger agenda to inject carbon into the ground and effect drinking water and take over land? President Trump spends the weekend bringing peace to India with ongoing conflict with Pakistan.  Tariff negotiations begin this weekend with China on renewing trade deals. What can we expect?

Join Dr. Toby Butler and Dr. Saskia Papadakis - part of the team behind the History of the Environmental Movement project for the Department of Geography at Royal Holloway University, London as they reflect on the use of oral history interviews as a tool within geography projects and explore the unique insights gained from interviewing environmental activists.

On Tuesday's show: A challenge on religious grounds to a requirement that health insurance providers cover HIV prevention medications was heard at the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday. Legal expert Seth Chandler explains the case, which stemmed from Texas.Also this hour: Houston has higher rates of sexually transmitted infections compared to the rest of Texas, according to Harris County Public Health. We discuss how local public health professionals are fighting STIs and misinformation.Then, on this Earth Day, we revisit a 2022 conversation with Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley about how one book sparked the great environmental awakening of the 1960s and 70s.And we talk with musician and Houston native David Ramirez, who's performing Wednesday at The Heights Theater.

We are going to have a couple banger episodes on the Northwest Forest Plan in the coming weeks, but I'm recording this on February 24th, just over one month since Trump's second term began, and I think we need to step back and take stock for a minute.   Don't worry, this episode is not going to be all about the dark lord, but the administration's actions have already had huge consequences here in the Pacific Northwest, so we need to address it.Most of what Trump and his court of billionaires and white supremacists/facists have done so far has not surprised me, even though it has been every bit as bad as I feared.  But I have to admit, I was caught off guard by how obsessed they have been with DEI.  Since when did concepts like diversity, equity, and inclusion become radical ideas that need to be punished with the full weight of the Federal government?  And how are the witchburnings affecting the environment, climate, and social justice movements?To answer those questions, and to discuss why DEI is so important in the environmental movement, I'm joined by aparna rajagopal.Aparna is is a self described writer, speaker, agitator, and advisor at the confluence of movements for equity and justice within the outdoor, environmental, and conservation movements.Before we get started, and I'm not about to ask for money, but if you appreciate Coast Range Radio, please help me grow our audience by sharing your favorite episode with your friends, and go on apple podcasts or spotify and give us a 5 star review.  It really does help, and best of all, it's quick and free!  And my email is michael@coastrange.org, please reach out anytime with feedback, guest ideas, or even a great sourdough recipe!Show Notes:https://theavarnagroup.com/2-weeks-in-reflections-recommendations-resources-on-dei/https://theavarnagroup.com/https://www.aparnarajagopal.com/Support the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

The U.S. government, military, and industry once saw ocean incineration as the safest and most efficient way to dispose of hazardous chemical waste. Beginning in the late 1960s, toxic chemicals such as PCBs and other harmful industrial byproducts were taken out to sea to be destroyed in specially designed ships equipped with high-temperature combustion chambers and smokestacks. But public outcry arose after the environmental and health risks of ocean incineration were exposed, and the practice was banned in the early 1990s. Smoke on the Water: Incineration at Sea and the Birth of a Transatlantic Environmental Movement (Columbia UP, 2023) traces the rise and fall of ocean incineration, showing how a transnational environmental movement tested the limits of U.S. political and economic power. Dario Fazzi examines the anti-ocean-incineration movement that emerged on both sides of the Atlantic, arguing that it succeeded by merging local advocacy with international mobilization. He emphasizes the role played at the grassroots level by women, migrant workers, and other underrepresented groups who were at greatest risk. Environmental groups, for their part, gathered and shared evidence about the harms of at-sea incineration, building scientific consensus and influencing international debates. Smoke on the Water tells the compelling story of a campaign against environmental degradation in which people from marginalized communities took on the might of the U.S. military-industrial complex. It offers new insights into the transnational dimensions of environmental regulation, the significance of nonstate actors in international history, and the making of environmental justice movements.

On this episode, Nate is joined by ER doctor, nuclear power advocate, and podcast host Chris Keefer for a broad ranging conversation including the basics of nuclear energy, how he engages with opposing opinions, and hypotheticals for a future medical system. Coming from a broad background, Chris understands what it means to have a human to human conversation and put together the pieces of our systemic puzzle in a clear and compelling way. What role could nuclear play for our future energy needs - and how are different countries making use of it today? How can we prioritize the health and safety of people under energetic and resource constraints? Most of all, how do we listen to others that we don't agree with - regardless of the issue - to foster the diverse perspectives necessary to navigate the coming challenges of the human predicament?  About Chris Keefer: Chris Keefer MD, CCFP-EM is a Staff Emergency Physician at St Joseph's Health Centre and a Lecturer for the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto. He is also an avid advocate for expanding nuclear power as the President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy and Director of Doctors for Nuclear Energy. Additionally, he is the host of the Decouple Podcast exploring the most pressing questions in energy, climate, environment, politics, and philosophy.

How does the Bible instruct humans to interact with the Earth? Over the last few decades, white conservative evangelical Christians have increasingly taken positions against environmental protections. To understand why, Meghan Cochran talks with Neall W. Pogue about his book The Nature of the Religious Right: The Struggle between Conservative Evangelicals and the Environmental Movement (Cornell University Press, 2022) in which he examines how the religious right became a political force known for hostility toward environmental legislation.  Until the 1990s, theologically based, eco-friendly philosophies of Christian environmental stewardship were uncontroversial. However, when some in the evangelical community began to lean towards environmental activism in response to human caused climate change, their effort was overwhelmed by some conservative leaders who stressed a position against environmentalism. They ridiculed conservation efforts, embraced conspiracy theories, and refuted the expanding scientific literature. Pogue explains how different ideas of nature helped to construct a conservative evangelical political movement that rejected long-standing beliefs regarding Christian environmental stewardship. Suggested readings:  The Gospel of Climate Skepticism: Why Evangelical Christians Oppose Action on Climate Change by Robin Globus Veldman (University of California Press, 2019) Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right by Arlie Russell Hochschild (The New Press, 2016) Meghan Cochran studies belief and action as a technologist working in customer experience and as a student of religion, business, and literature.

Pogue about his book The Nature of the Religious Right: The Struggle between Conservative Evangelicals and the Environmental Movement (Cornell University Press, 2022) in which he examines how the religious right became a political force known for hostility toward environmental legislation.  Until the 1990s, theologically based, eco-friendly philosophies of Christian environmental stewardship were uncontroversial. However, when some in the evangelical community began to lean towards environmental activism in response to human caused climate change, their effort was overwhelmed by some conservative leaders who stressed a position against environmentalism. They ridiculed conservation efforts, embraced conspiracy theories, and refuted the expanding scientific literature. Pogue explains how different ideas of nature helped to construct a conservative evangelical political movement that rejected long-standing beliefs regarding Christian environmental stewardship. Suggested readings:  The Gospel of Climate Skepticism: Why Evangelical Christians Oppose Action on Climate Change by Robin Globus Veldman (University of California Press, 2019) Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right by Arlie Russell Hochschild (The New Press, 2016) Meghan Cochran studies belief and action as a technologist working in customer experience and as a student of religion, business, and literature.

On Tuesday's show: We discuss how districts identify where to place new schools in light of controversy over one such decision in Tomball ISD. Also this hour: We get an update on plans to renovate and eventually reopen the River Oaks Theatre. Then, we listen back to our 2022 conversation with Rice University history professor Douglas Brinkley, author of Silent Spring Revolution, which recounts how one book sparked the great environmental awakening of the 1960s and 70s. And a study published this summer finds just 13 percent of the video games ever released in the United States are still available for sale. We talk with a gaming enthusiast about retro gaming in the Bayou City and about the need to preserve old video games.

In what ways are cemeteries like parks? How tall should the grass in a cemetery be allowed to grow? Following up on some of the themes from our discussion with NYC Microseasons about urban plants, animals, and fungi not typically thought of as farms or gardens, Melissa talks with Joseph (Joe) Charap, Vice President of Horticulture at the Green-Wood Cemetery, about the history of cemeteries as green spaces in NYC and the broader United States.They discuss the rich and biodiverse ecosystem found at Green-Wood—which comprises over 8,000 trees of over 800 species, including many native species! Joe and Melissa talk about everything from “charismatic megaflora” (trees) to turfgrass, touching on long-term scientific collaborations with Cornell, different kinds of green burials (including mushroom burials, which are not yet practiced in Brooklyn), “Sweet Hereafter” honey, and what exactly a “managed meadow” is.

I reject your doubt and substitute my own.'Merchants Of Doubt' by Naomi Oreskes & Erik M. Conway is a historical recount of the scientific debate regarding the effects of smoking, the DDT insecticide, chlorofluorocarbons and burning fossil fuels. The evidence proved there was health and environmental damage but a group of individual scientists waged a campaign to seed doubt against the science.I summarised the book as follows. "It started solid but slid into subjective opinion towards the end. It was quite illuminating when they stuck to the book's subtitle but personally I would only read the first third or first half if I had to read it again."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

The episode is about Kathleen Stock's appearance last week at the Oxford Union, with a rather large interlude in the middle of that discussion about the environmentalism movement and its particular class composition. With mention of Hegel, Lenin's internship at the Winter Palace, and Stock's status as premier golden retriever lesbian, we cover the ridiculousness of 'safe spaces' at Oxford and how self-advancement is the key purpose of the protests we saw last week.  This episode was recorded in a park - so expect some breeze, planes, and birds - but we are soon investing in microphones! With windshields, other professional equipment, and plan to do the show in a properly set up studio environment as of next month.

History of Republican EnvironmentalismThe history of Republican environmentalism spans decades. On January 1, 1970, just a few months before the very first Earth Day, President Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) into law. NEPA created a program to review and require government agencies to take into consideration the environmental impacts and consequences of their actions or projects. After the first Earth Day celebration on April 22, 1970, President Nixon signed into law a slew of new environmental programs and agencies, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Endangered Species Act. President Ford continued this trend by championing the Safe Drinking Water Act in 1974, designating national parks like Isle Royal, and coordinating with several other countries to protect and expand the Endangered Species Act. All of these environmental policies and actions were passed under Republican administrations. There are many examples of Republican environmentalism throughout America's history, from the initial establishment of national parks under President Theodore Roosevelt to passing amendments to the Clean Air Act under President George H.W. Bush. It is important to recognize this history in order to find common ground across partisan lines when moving to pass climate legislation. This is why many young conservative climate activists believe in a path towards bipartisan climate action.  The American Conservation CoalitionThe American Conservation Coalition (ACC) works to mobilize young people around climate solutions in ways that align with conservative values ––  market-based mechanisms and a limited-government approach –– without attributing partisan labels to their work. The ACC's current climate solution goals include energy innovation, 21st century infrastructure, nature based climate solutions, and a global approach to fighting climate change. In addition to a broad set of goals for a bipartisan approach to climate solutions, the ACC encourages young people to get involved in their local communities to enact climate solutions and lessen climate denial. For example, in the Midwest, the human-wildlife conflict and agriculture are likely more relevant than rising sea levels and wildfires, so ACC advocates for a local focus on those issues rather than the broader spectrum of climate issues that may not have the same local immediacy. ACC and others also promote  bipartisan climate action through events held at college campuses, talking to conservative members of state and local governments, and urgently making clear that climate change must be on the political agenda. Climate change does not discriminate based on political ideologies, and action will benefit from participation  by everyone, from all walks of life and political backgrounds, coming together to find innovative, sustainable and equitable climate solutions. Further reading:American Conservation CoalitionBipartisan Path to Address Climate ChangeYoung Republican Climate MovementAdler, The Conservative Record on Environmental Policy, The New AtlantisYoung Conservatives for Carbon DividendsBruggers, Bucking GOP Elders, Some Young Republicans Embrace a Slower, Gentler Brand of Climate Activism, DeSmogRepublicans for Environmental Protection

The world's environmental problems demand solutions for the common good, which in turn necessitate environmental diplomacy. With us to untangle the messy history of environmental diplomacy is Mark Lytle. In addition to his long tenure as a professor at Bard College, Mark has taught at Yale, Vassar, and University College Dublin. Mark's books include The Origins of the Iranian-American Alliance, 1941-1953, America's Uncivil Wars: The Sixties Era from Elvis to the Fall of Richard Nixon, The Gentle Subversive: Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, and the Rise of the Environmental Movement, and The All-Consuming Nation: Pursuing the American Dream Since World War II.

Have you ever hiked a portion of the Appalachian Trail? Taken a family vacation to the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone? Or strolled through Central Park for some respite from the Manhattan hustle? If so, you can thank a handful of early American environmentalists who advocated for, designed, and built the public lands we enjoy today.Today on the podcast, we're joined by Jeffrey H. Ryan, author of This Land Was Saved for You and Me: How Gifford Pinchot, Frederick Law Olmsted, and a Band of Foresters Saved America's Public Lands. Jeffrey, an avid outdoorsman in his own right, walks us through the fascinating history of the early environmental movement and its major players.
