The Speaking of Travel + Gulf Coast Love Story series with Dayna Reggero of the Climate Listening Project is a platform to keep you informed on what's happening in one of the most beautiful and vulnerable areas, The Gulf Coast. The Climate Listening project is in the Gulf Coast region listening to artists and activists working together for Dayna's new film, The Gulf Coast Love Story. The Gulf is beautiful and rich with beaches and bayous. But there's also cancer alley and dangerous oil rigs. Now there are 20+ LNG export terminals proposed along the Gulf Coast. These are huge liquid natural gas export facilities where all the pipelines bring the gas to the coast to ship it overseas with fossil fuel companies profiting billions. It's dangerous. Our special guest is Joshua Duttweiler of Corpus Christi, Texas. Joshua was selected for the collaborative Coastal Alliance to Protect our Environment (CAPE) artist activist grant to create community art for Corpus Christi / Coastal Bend activism in collaboration with groups like Texas Campaign for the Environment. Joshua is a designer, artist, and educator. His multi-disciplinary practice encompasses personal, collaborative, and client-based projects focused on social justice and community building.  Connect via GulfCoastMurals.com for more information.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Maybe the A.G.'s office is saving the unEthics Commission from itself in not taking past due fine cases to court. The flimsy hit piece on Paxton from Hearst actually lets the real story be known in this little snippet buried in the bottom portion:“Texas has limited options when it comes to financial repercussions — it can put a hold on candidates' and elected officials' financial accounts with the state, if they have them — but unlike other states, it can't levy tax liens or garnish wages. If that isn't effective, it must decide whether to file a civil suit requesting a judge to order payment.“Even this, Texas' most aggressive tool for pursuing delinquent filers, is seldom effective…”So much for the narrative the headline and upper portion try to set. These cases are largely a waste of taxpayer resources.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.TPPF's Sherry Sylvester jumps on one of the longest running topics from Pratt on Texas: The Texas Media War Against Texas.While Lt. Governor Patrick reacts to the massively increase revenue estimate for the state from the comptroller of public accounts with: “Our first priority is to send money back to the taxpayers of Texas,” it remains to be seen of Governor Abbott will actually work to get us the size of tax cuts we need. Patrick has good suggestions and one that deserves immediate passage is the huge increase in the homestead exemption.Beto Pancho O'Rourke, the fake Hispanic rich kid from El Paso who is actually named Robert Francis, set singe reporting term fundraising record for a Texas candidate.

The Texas Campaign for the Environment (TCE) has a mission to empower all Texans to fight pollution through sustained grassroots organizing campaigns that shift corporate and government policy. With offices in Austin, Houston, and Dallas-Forth Worth, they envision a Texas free from pollution. Their main form of communication and organizing is through door-to-door canvassing and grassroots conversations. The COVID-19 crisis has not slowed their canvassing, they have adapted by using online communication and other outreach activities. Our guest is Jeffrey Jacoby, the Deputy Director of the Texas Campaign for the Environment. He gives us an update on the latest actions of TCE and policy issues facing Texans.

Aired Live on 11/02/2019: Featuring Jeffrey Jacoby, Deputy Director for the Texas Campaign for the Environment; and Katy Launius sustainability coordinator and Dean of Students Success and Wellness at Eastfield College. Jeffrey speaks about changing the habits of texans one door, and one person at a time. They are a ground up organization who work to pass state wide legislation on climate change and pollution, enact curb side recycling and composting, and eliminate single-use bag banning, to name a few. Learn about Jeffrey’s national presentation from “The Drill To The Dump”, and “We Can’t Recycle Our Way Out Of This.” Jeffrey will shed light on the life cycle of plastic, with the true beginning being at the drilling of oil (especially in West Texas). Understand how plastic is recycled, or otherwise, not properly recycled and how you can be responsible with the products you buy and how you reuse and recycle them. Also learn about the negative health impacts of the build up of micro-plastics in our environment. Finally, hear from Katy, about how the the communities of Texas are being educated in environmental sustainability through Eastfield College’s programs on each of their campuses. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/healthy-radio/support

As the Texas Legislature returns to Austin for a Special Session many local city ordinances throughout Texas are being attacked. Governor Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick are zeroed in on local ordinances despite the Texas constitution that gives broad authority to local jurisdictions. Our discussion on Shades of Green focused this week on the 90 cities in Texas, including Austin, that have implemented local ordinances to protect valuable trees. Our guests were Robin Schneider, Executive Director of Texas Campaign for the Environment (TCE) and Emily King, Urban Forrester for the City of Austin.

Getting to “zero waste” may seem like an impossible goal, but Andrew Dobbs of the Texas Campaign for the Environment says each of us can play a role in reducing the amount of stuff going into landfills and the environment.
