How do we move beyond our myopic focus on carbon/CO2 as the index of our harms to the world?  What can we do to heal the whole biosphere?  And what role is played by water-as-verb, forest-as-verb, ocean-as-verb? This week's guest is an environmental journalist and author who has answers to all of these questions - and more.  Judith Schwartz is an author who tells stories to explore and illuminate scientific concepts and cultural nuance. She takes a clear-eyed look at global environmental, economic, and social challenges, and finds insights and solutions in natural systems. She writes for numerous publications, including The Guardian and Scientific American and her first two books are music to our regenerative ears. The first is called 'Cows Save the Planet' and the next is 'Water in Plan Sight'. Her latest, “The Reindeer Chronicles”, was long listed for the Wainwright Prize and is an astonishingly uplifting exploration of what committed people are achieving as they dedicate themselves to earth repair, water repair and human repair. Judith was recently at the 'Embracing Nature's Complexity' conference, organised by the Biotic Pump Greening Group which offers revolutionary new insights into eco-hydro-climatological landscape restoration. She's a contributor to the new book, 'What if we Get it Right?' edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, who was one of the editors of All We can Save.Judith has been described as 'one of ecology's most indispensable writers' and when you read her work, you'll understand the magnificent depth and breadth of her insight into who we are and how we can help the world to heal. Judith's website https://www.judithdschwartz.com/Do The Impossible website https://www.dotheimpossible.earth/Embracing Nature's Complexity Conference https://www.thebioticpump.com/tum-ias-conference-2024Judith's paper at the conference https://bioticregulation.ru/conf2024/Judith-Schwartz.pdfBook - What if we get it right? https://www.amazon.co.uk/What-If-We-Get-Right-ebook/dp/B0BPX5GWP8

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with Ceramic Sculptor Wanxin Zhang...Wanxin discusses his journey from studying art in China, his move to America, and the influence of prominent Bay Area artists on his work. He shares how artists like Robert Arneson and Viola Frey helped shift his perception of ceramics from craft to fine art. Wanxin's sculptures, which blend historical references with contemporary culture, are showcased in several prestigious museums and galleries. He recounts his early inspiration from his mother and the pivotal moment he decided to move to the U.S. Wanxin also talks about how changing his medium from metal to clay allowed him to express his identity and cultural heritage more profoundly.About Artist Wanxin Zhang:Wanxin Zhang was born and educated in China. He graduated from the prestigious LuXun Academy of Fine Art in Sculpture in 1985. In 1992, after Zhang established his art career as a sculptor in China, he relocated to San Francisco with his family and received his Master in Fine Arts from the Academy of Art University. Zhang had been on the faculty of the Academy of Art University, Department of Art Practice at University of California, Berkeley and California College of The Art in Oakland, and the San Francisco Art Institute. Zhang's sculptures represent a marriage between historical references and a contemporary cultural context; they carry messages of social and political commentary. His work is deeply influenced by the Bay Area figurative movement and artists such at Peter Voulkos and Stephen De Staebler. As a studio sculptor and educator, Zhang was the first place recipient of the Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant in 2006 and the Joan Mitchell Grant in 2004. His sculptures have been shown in San Francisco,  Santa Fe, Miami, Seattle, Palm Desert and New York City. In 2007, his pieces were part of the 22nd UBE Sculpture Biennial in Japan; in 2008, his sculpture was selected by the Taipei Ceramics Biennial in Taiwan; and in 2013, he was part of the Da Tong's 2nd International Sculpture Biennial in China. Zhang had his first solo art museum show at the University of Wyoming Art Museum in 2006, with solo museum exhibitions following at the Arizona State University Art Museum, Boise Art Museum in Idaho, Fresno Art Museum in California, The Alden B. Dow Museum of Science & Art in Michigan, Bellevue Arts Museum in Washington, and Holter Museum of Art in Montana. His works have been selected to be included in Confrontational Ceramics by Judith Schwartz, and can be found in major art magazines such as "Art News," "Art in America," "Sculpture," and "American Ceramics." Zhang has many public collections, and his private collectors are located both nationally and internationally. In 2012, the San Francisco Chronicle picked Zhang's exhibition at the Richmond Art Center to be one of the Top 10 Exhibitions in the San Francisco Bay Area.Visit Wanxin's Website:  WanxinZhang.comFollow Wanxin on Instagram:  @WxZhang25For more about M is for Water at the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art in Napa, CLICK HERE. For more about the Spirit House exhibition at Stanford University, CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

U.S. states such as Vermont and Massachusetts are cutting thousands of acres of forest for solar power projects, despite the fact that this harms biodiversity and degrades ecosystems' carbon sequestration capacity. Journalist and author Judith Schwartz joins the Mongabay Newscast to speak with co-host Mike DiGirolamo about the seeming irony of cutting forests for renewable energy, and why she says states like hers are 'missing the plot' on climate action: she lives near a forest in southwestern Vermont where a company has proposed an 85-acre project that would export its electricity 100 miles south, to customers in Connecticut. A recent report found that such deforestation in nearby Massachusetts is unnecessary to meet that state's clean energy commitments, and would be better achieved by using already developed land like rooftops and parking lots, instead of farms or forests. Yet the acreage lost to solar energy projects in Massachusetts since 2010 has already released the equivalent of the annual emissions of more than 100,000 cars.

What you'll learn in this episode: Why sacred geometry is the underlying link between Eva's work in jewelry, architecture and design How growing up in an isolated Soviet Bloc country influenced Eva's creative expression Why jewelry is one of the most communicative art forms How Eva evaluates jewelry as a frequent jewelry show judge Why good design should help people discover new ideas and apply them in other places  About Eva Eisler A star of the Prague art world, Eva Eisler is an internationally recognized sculptor, furniture/product designer, and jeweler. Rooted in constructivist theory, her structurally-based objects project a unique spirituality by nature of their investment with “sacred geometry.” The current series of necklaces and brooches, fabricated from stainless steel, are exemplars of this aesthetic. In 2003, she developed a line of sleek, stainless steel tabletop objects for mono cimetric design in Germany.  Eisler is also a respected curator and educator. She is chairman of the Metal and Jewelry Department at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, where she heads the award-winning K.O.V. (concept-object-meaning) studio. Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum and Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Canada; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; and Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague, among others.  Additional Resources: Eva's Instagram Photos available on TheJeweleryJourney.com Transcript: Eva Eisler is the rare designer who works on projects as small as a ring and as large as a building. What connects her impressive portfolio of work? An interest in sacred geometry and a desire to discover new ideas that can be applied in multiple ways. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how she communicates a message through jewelry; why jewelry students should avoid learning traditional techniques too early; and her thoughts on good design. Read the episode transcript here.  Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com. My guest today is Eva Eisler, Head of the Jewelry Department of the Academy of Arts in Prague. She's probably one of the most well-known artists in the Czech Republic. Welcome back.    How long were you in New York? A long time?   Eva: 25 years.    Sharon: Wow! I didn't realize that. And did you teach the whole time?   Eva: I taught for a few years at Parsons School of Design, and then New York University pulled me in. It was Judith Schwartz, who was the Director of the Department of Art Education, who wanted to expose the students to metalworking. So, she asked me to come and teach there.   Sharon: Did you do jewelry and other things because you wanted to have not so much grayness in the world, to have color, to have joy?   Eva: Are you asking?   Sharon: Yeah, I'm asking. Did you break out, in a sense, because of the world around you?   Eva: I think that one challenge after the other gave me strength and conviction. This is something I can work with, the medium of jewelry, because it's so communicative. I had so many incredible encounters through wearing a piece of jewelry. For example, I went to a party at Princeton University. I'm talking to this professor of physics. He's telling me how they are developing an artificial sun, and he's looking at my piece. When he finished talking about his project, he said, “Is this what I think it is?” I said, “Clearly, yes.” It was a piece of metal bent into an S, one line and one dot. It's basically telling you that it depends on a point of view and how you perceive things. I used to like to come up with a concept that I would play with in different theories.    Sharon: Did you expect to be in the States for 25 years? That's a long time.   Eva: No. We were allowed by Czechoslovakia to go for one year. After one year, we politely applied for an extension. It was denied to us. So, we were actually abroad illegally and we could not return because we did not obey the rules.    Sharon: When you came back, did you teach? We saw some of your students' work. What do you tell them about your work? What do you teach them?    Eva: It's a different system. In New York, you teach one class at a time if you're not a full-time professor at the university. In New York, it's very rare. The intensity and the high quality of professionals in all different fields allows schools to pull them in, so they can take a little bit of their time and share with students what they do. It's not that you devote your full time to teaching.    In the Czech Republic, it's different. At the academy where I have taught for 16 years, you're the professor, and you have a student for six years with a special degree in the master's program. For six years, you're developing the minds of these young people. I don't teach them techniques. We have a workshop and there is a workshop master. I talk to them about their ideas. We consult twice a week for six years. It's a long time. I would be happy if somebody talked about my work for half an hour once a year. I would have to ask somebody because I need it as well. It's a different system, the European system of schools.   Sharon: You're head of the K.O.V. Studio. How would you translate that?   Eva: The academy is divided into departments, and each department is a different media: Department of Architecture, Department of Industrial Design and so on. We are part of the Department of Applied Arts, which is divided between ceramics, glass, textile, fashion. My studio is about metal, and for metal in Czech, you write “kov.” When I took over the studio, I put dots in between the letters, which stands for “concept, object, meaning.” In Czech, meaning isn't even a word. That way, I could escape the strict specialization for metal, because when you're 20 and you go study somewhere, do you know you want to work for the rest of your life in metal? No. Today, we are also exploring different materials, discovering new materials. I am giving them assignments and tasks. Each of them has to choose the right material, so the person comes up with using concrete or cork or wood or paper or different things, glass or metal.   Sharon: How do you balance everything? You have so much going on. How do you balance it?    Eva: I have to do three jobs because teaching does not make a living, even though I'm a full-time professor. It's an underpaid profession, maybe everywhere.   Sharon: I was going to say that, everywhere.   Eva: Then I do my own art, and I do large projects like designing exhibitions, curating exhibitions, designing a design shop. Things like that to make money to support those other two. It's a lot, yes. I have grandchildren.   Sharon: A family. Yes, it's a lot. You've done jewelry shows and you've evaluated shows. What's important to you? What stands out? What jumps out at you?   Eva: I sit on juries. In 2015, I was invited to be a curator of Schmuck, the jewelry exhibition in Munich. It's a big challenge, selecting out of 600 applicants for a show that at the end has only 60 people from all over the world. When I looked at the work, we flipped through pictures one after the other. It's so incredible what jewelry has evolved into, this completely open, free thing, many different styles, many different trends and materials. There's organic and geometric and plastic. I noticed these different groups and that I could divide all these people into different groups, different styles, different materials. Then I was selecting the best representation of these groups. It made it quite clear and fast when I came up with this approach.   Sharon: Does something jump out at you, though, when you're looking through all these—let's say you've divided all the glass, all the metal—   Eva: Very rarely, because we go to Munich every year. I go and see exhibitions all over, so it's very random. You can see something completely different and new. I worked on a very interesting exhibition that year at the Prague Castle. Cartier does not have a building for their collection, a museum. They have the collection traveling around in palaces and castles and exhibition galleries around the world, and each place has a different curator. I was invited to curate it in Prague. It was the largest Cartier exhibition ever displayed. It was around 60 pieces for this show, and it was in Bridging Hall of the Prague Castle, an enormous space.    That was very interesting because at the moment I accepted this challenging job, I had never walked into a Cartier anywhere in the world, in New York, Paris, London, because I was never curious. It was real jewelry, but when I started working with the collection, which is based in Geneva, and I was going to Paris to these workshops and archives, I discovered the completely different world of making jewelry, how they, in the middle of the 19th century, approached this medium and based it on perfection and mechanisms and the material. So, the best of the best craftsmen were put together in one place. It was very challenging.   Another exhibit I worked on was for a craft museum. It was called The Radiant Geometries. Russell Newman was the curator, and I was doing the display faces. My work was part of the show as well. That was a super experience.    An interesting show I had was at Columbia University at the School of Architecture. The dean was Bernard Tschumi, the deconstructivist architect. He invited me to do an exhibition of jewelry and drawings for their students of architecture. Can you imagine? The students looked at the work, and they thought they were small architecture models. I developed a new system for how to hold them together. For that exhibition, I built cabinets that I later developed into a system with vitrines. After the exhibition with vitrines, I started making chairs and tables and benches, and later on I used it again for an exhibition when I was in Brussels. One thing leads me to another. One thing inspires the other. I go from flats, from drawings and paintings, into three-dimensional objects. I need a lance, so I design it and then some company makes it.   Sharon: Wow! What do you think has kept your attention? We'll have pictures of the jewelry on the website so people can see it. I love the necklace you have on. It's avant garde. Everything in the exhibit and everything your students did was avant garde. So, what holds your attention about it? How would you describe it?   Eva: I think making something like many people did before you doesn't make any sense. We are surrounded by so much stuff. It only makes it worth spending your talent and time when it's something new. You're discovering something new that somebody else can learn from and apply somewhere else. For example, this necklace is just held by the tension of the spring wire. Next time, maybe I can use it for some lighting. Who knows?   Sharon: I'd like to see that if you do it. What makes a good exhibit? You've been in charge of so many exhibits. What makes a good jewelry exhibit?   Eva: It should be based on a common theme or concept, and all the objects should together tell a story. Also, the exhibition design or architectural design of the show is very important. A lot of exhibition architects are creating something so powerful that you can't see the work that is showing. My rule is that the installation basically should disappear. The work is the most important thing, right?   Sharon: Yes, that's true. You mentioned a story, like each area or part should tell a story. Would you agree with that?   Eva: If it's large exhibition of jewelry in different styles, let's say, it should be grouped into similar topics so it empowers them. If you have one piece of this kind, another piece of a different kind next to each other, then—I don't know; it can be anything. It depends on the curator or the architect. Look at the Danner Rotunda in Munich. Their collection is strung together. Maybe the curator or the artist who did the installation wanted to create a dialogue of completely different characters, like when you have guests for dinner and you're thinking who sits next to whom. You want to create an exciting dialogue.   Sharon: When you came to New York, do you think you stood out? In Czechoslovakia did you stand out? Could you hold your own within these different parties?   Eva: I'm not the one who can judge it, but yes. I heard from different people what caught their attention, and why, for example, Judy Schwartz said, “I was waiting patiently all these years,” whenever she finds the time to teach at NYU. I was always amazed by her education. Toni Greenbaum wrote a beautiful piece when we first met. She was intrigued by what I wore and how I looked, but mostly by a piece of jewelry I wore. I sewed the dress a day before because I thought, “What am I going to wear?” I designed it myself. If somebody asks me what I collect—mostly everybody collects something—I usually say I collect people. People together create society, create culture. One cannot stand alone. Through the work I do, it brings me to people. I try, and the results bring me to better people. That's what I value most.   Sharon: That's interesting. That was going to be my next question, but you answered it. Everybody does collect something, and people have different definitions of collections. Collecting people is a collection, yes, and you collect people all over the world. Thank you so much for being with us today, Eva. I really appreciate it.   Eva: Thank you so much for inviting me and talking to me. I'm saying hello to everyone who is listening.   Sharon: Well will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out.   Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

Landscape rewilding and ecosystem restoration are likely our last/best chances to maintain life on Earth as we know it, the guests on this week's show argue. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration just began, so we invited author Judith Schwartz to discuss her new book The Reindeer Chronicles and Other Inspiring Stories of Working with Nature to Heal the Earth, which documents numerous restoration projects around the globe and highlights how the global ecological restoration movement is challenging us to reconsider the way we live on the planet. We’re also joined by Tero Mustonen, president of the Finnish NGO Snowchange Cooperative, who tells us about the group’s Landscape Rewilding Programme which is restoring & rewilding Arctic and Boreal habitats using Indigenous knowledge and science.

2020 was a year full of devastating news, but author, Judith Schwartz, has a grassroots response to evolving crises, an antidote to despair if you will.   She calls it Earth repair, taking this tremendous sense of agency and using it to come together and heal our landscapes and seascapes.   In the latest episode of the Sustainable Dish Podcast, James Connolly interviews Judith where they discuss large scale strategies for restoring soils, vegetation, and even food forest systems – in regions previously plagued by drought, desertification, famine, and poverty – that not only improve food security, economic security, and heal frayed social fabrics, they also increase rainfall, groundwater, and both carbon sequestration and water storage capacities in the landscape.   They discuss her previous books, Cows Save the Planet and Water in Plain Sight: Hope for a Thirsty World, and also her latest book, The Reindeer Chronicles, which documents large-scale ecological restoration projects in China, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Norway, New Mexico, Hawaii, and elsewhere around the world. Delving into the individuals, communities, and their unique stories.   In both this interview and her book, Judith reveals universal patterns of people coming together to heal their environments while also improving their human relationships and quality of life.   You may recognize Judith from her interview in the film, Sacred Cow, where she described the role cows play in restoration, but also be sure to check out her books, too.   This episode brought to you by DrinkLMNT who has an exclusive deal for my listeners.

We’ve made a carbon mess. How do we clean it up?Imagine the atmosphere as an overflowing bathtub. The water keeps gushing from the tap. Clearly, we need to turn it off. We have to bring emissions of heat-trapping gases down to zero, stat. But even after we do that, we still have a mess on our hands. So, we need to open the drain, let some water out. In this episode, we’ll explore the different ways we can manage carbon emissions with natural and technological solutions. What are their benefits and drawbacks? And how do we think about them in our broader solutions toolkit?Featured in this episode: Lisa Song, Judith Schwartz, Jane Zelikova, and Etosha Cave.Follow our co-hosts and production team:Leah StokesKatharine WilkinsonStephen LaceyJaime KaiserA Matter of Degrees is a production of Post Script Audio. For more episodes and transcripts, visit our website.

As we continue into this series on waterway regeneration, I reached out to Judith Schwartz, a wonderful author who tells stories to explore and illuminate scientific concepts and cultural nuance.  Her two most recent books, Water in Plain sight, and The Reindeer Chronicles both feature incredible case studies of the importance of a healthy water cycle, to the health of our ecosystems and global climate regulation.  Judith is known for taking  a clear-eyed look at global environmental, economic, and social challenges, and finds insights and solutions in natural systems. She also writes for numerous publications, including The American Prospect, The Guardian, Discover, and Scientific American.  In this interview Judith begins by explaining some essential information on the water cycle beyond the simple rain and evaporation rotation we all learned in grade school.  She also walks me through the ways it interacts with plant life to affect the rainfall of an area and hydrate the land. From there we explore some of the incredible examples of ecosystem regeneration that she highlights in her books and we even get into some mind expanding questions that you can use yourself to re-evaluate your own understanding of the potential of your own regenerative projects and dreams at the end of the episode.  Beyond the clear information of water's hidden functions in the global ecology, Judith is a great storyteller and helps to connect the hard facts with the personal and intimate side of these projects and journeys.

Judith Schwartz is the author of several books, including Cows Save the Planet and Water in Plain Sight. Her new book, The Reindeer Chronicles: And Other Inspiring Stories of Working with Nature to Heal the Earth, is a riveting series of reports from all over the globe about people who are restoring landscapes and dealing with deeply entrenched conflicts that are exacerbated by their degraded ecosystems. She takes us to China, the Middle East, New Mexico, Mali, Hawaii, Spain, Norway, and other places where people are working with each other and working with nature--rather than against it. The results are extraordinary: healthy land, clean water, economic prosperity, and even climate change mitigation.

Hva er egentlig regenerativt landbruk? Hva slags potensiale har de tanker og fremsgangsmåter som denne retningen bygger på for å endre måten vi omgås naturen og produserer mat? Regenerativt landbruk er ikke en «one size fits all»-løsning, eller tilstrekkelig i seg selv, men det er ganske sikkert mye vi kan gjøre veldig mye bedre sammenlignet med dagens industrielle matproduksjon.   Vi har snakket med Anders Lerberg Kopstad, som sammen med kona driver gården Evig grønne enger. Han har lang erfaring med regenerativt landbruk, og han fungerer ofte som rådgiver for andre bønder som driver, eller ønsker å drive, gårdbrukene sine på denne måten.   Målet med denne episoden er å gi en liten introduksjon og oversikt til temaet, samt diskutere noen av de vanligste innvendingene.   Hvis du vil vite mer om temaet, her er noen bøker som kan anbefales, som gir forskjellige innsikter i tema:     Richard Perkins, Regenerative Agriculture: A Practical Whole Systems Guide to Making Small Farms Work Joel Salatin, mange bøker å anbefale, denne får en anbefaling pga tittelen alene: The Sheer Ecstasy of Being a Lunatic Farmer Charles Massy, The Call of the reed warbler Judith Schwartz, Cows save the planet, Water in plain sight Allan Savory, Holistic Managment, The Grazing Revolution David Montgomery, Growing a revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life Isabella Tree, Wilding: Returning Nature to Our Farm   Disse to bøkene er fine historiske kilder til hvordan vi mennesker har produsert mat opp gjennom tidene, og hvordan det noen ganger går alvorlig galt: Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens Timothy Egan, The Worst Hard Time   Du finner mer om Anders her: http://www.eviggronneenger.no/ http://audhumbla.no/ ---------------------------- Logoen vår er laget av Sveinung Sudbø, se hans arbeider på originalkopi.com Musikken er av Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen, se facebooksiden Nygrenda Vev og Dur for mer info. ---------------------------- Takk for at du hører på.

Judith Schwartz, author of Cows Save the Planet and Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth has taken a deep dive into the discussion of CO2 and views soil as a hub for our many environmental, economic and social challenges — and for solutions. She is part of the broader movement on promoting ecological restoration to address environmental problems. Today Judith joins us on the Primal Edge Health Podcast to talk about soil’s connection to climate change, biodiversity loss, floods, droughts and wildfires, and human health as well as how eating more meat, will help the environment.

What is Regenerative Grazing? How does soil affect climate, and how do cows and other ruminants have such an important role to play? In this Primal Diet - Modern Health podcast I speak with Judith Schwartz, author of one of my favorite books, to expand on these topics. "Cows Save the Planet" subtitles include: "Unmaking the deserts, rethinking climate change, bringing back biodiversity, and restoring nutrients to our food". Whew! That's a lot but Judith makes it readable and clear. Highly recommended for science students and the rest of us who think eating less meat helps the environment. But factory fed meats and feedlots are indeed part of the problem. The wastes of corn and soy fed cattle are collected in huge lagoons, an anaerobic breeding place for methane gases. Grass fed ruminants (cattle, bison, sheep, deer, giraffe, camels, antelopes) chew their cud. They have split hooves which, when on pasture, mix waste, rain and saliva into the soil, fertilize it and aerate it. 

Rebecca Helm talks about the organisms living on the ocean's plastic islands. Ralph Saverese shares his experience reading literature with people with autism. Amy Herman discusses how we can learn to see the world around us more clearly. Judith Schwartz talks about restorative principles and practices that can help the planet.

Amidst a barrage of cynical headlines pertaining to the climate change crisis, there are some powerful voices speaking up for positive restorative efforts. Our first guest is Judith D. Schwartz, an author who focuses on empowering society to repair the environment rather than succumb to the pessimism. Next we talk with Kate Schapira about coping with climate change related anxiety.

Acclaimed author Judith Schwartz joins us for Sourcing Matters episode 38 – One on Land, a second on Water. Schwartz has written two transformative books which get under the hood of vast ecological systems, and their impact on us. First, in “Cows Save the Planet” – she takes a look at restoring large scale ecological systems through holistic planned grazing of herbivores.   Basically, by keeping animals on the parterre lands, in natural environments we evolve our management practice to actually harmonize with natural order. This kick starts natural environments that can have vast net positive impact on the climate.  Soil everywhere becomes a thriving carbon bank – by first stabilizing natural exchanges, then sucking-up excess carbon we spew into the air.  Judith shares her thoughts on the current state of affairs with this approach & mindset, and some new discoveries since publishing the book. In her most recent work “Water in Plain sight.  Hope for a thirsty world” – Schwartz goes into the often forgotten, but supremely complex natural systems that sustain and maintain clean water.  She makes a direct connection of her past work studying living soil, and its ability to store, lever and interchange life with water.  The lifeblood for all living things, water is set to have vast and drastic impact if we continue to manage our natural resources like this.  Water is now, and maybe at one point was an actual tip of the iceberg thanks to climate change.   Tune-In to our 40 minute discussion as Schwarz brings it all full circle with her latest work – hitting us all close to home.

Judith Schwartz is the author of several books, most recently "Water in Plain Sight." She is a leading advocate of what is coming to be known as "rain for climate" -- a shift in emphasis toward water as the most important substance in understanding and addressing climate change. We talk about water, soil, and plants, trees and cows, dogmatism, veganism and meat, and other topics.

Ep13: Solve Climate Change With Judith Schwartz by Diane Downey and Sheri Menelli

Meatclipsers! We've got your ideal soundtrack for the solar eclipse as we chat with Planeteer, Judith Schwartz (that makes her Gi for all you Captain Planet fans). Judith's first book, “Cows Save the Planet,” is required reading for all new EPIC employees, so we're honored to have her come on to talk about her latest book, “Water In Plain Sight.”  Listen in as we dive into a number of compelling topics, including the current challenges our environment is facing today and how almost all of them can be traced back to our land's inability to hold and retain water.  We also touch on… Why our economy encourages environmental destruction vs. protection How the design of modern cities has created ideal conditions for drought The impact of supporting local vs. global economies What you can do to help improve and restore our ecology For this week's INSIDE EPIC, we talk to our Warehouse Manager, Steve Huish.  When Steve's not rapping about Thrift Shops, he's ensuring your EPIC product—the most precious cargo of all—is delivered safe, sound, and on time. He and I talk about the challenge of running a warehouse for a fast growing company, how he's helped build the EPIC culture there, and how working at EPIC has impacted his and his family's health.   Listen all the way to the end to for a once-in-a-decade Meatcast/Eclipse offer.

Welcome to Life-Centered, a podcast about how looking to the natural world is impacting technology, society, and how we live our lives. I’m Tim McGee, and in this episode Amelia Tracy and I had a chance to talk with Markus and Katherine Ottmers. We first learned of the Ottmers from the book Water in Plain Sight by Judith Schwartz - and reached out to learn more about how they have learned from nature to create a thriving life in the desert. Together they run Ottmers & Ottmers a mom and pop business centered around local economy and local food, providing “Solutions Based Education Service.” We dive into their approach learning from the land, connecting with people, and creating positive impact as a keystone species in the world.

We talk to science journalist Judith Schwartz about her new book Water in Plain Sight: Hope for a Thirsty World.
