Bill Introduced to Ban New Factory Farms in NY

New York's factory farms are raising more animals than ever before, particularly cows, producing unprecedented amounts of manure waste. This manure is typically not treated before being dumped into the environment. Meanwhile, state and federal policies and incentives continue to prop up Big Ag's factory farm model at the expense of family-scale operations, which are collapsing in alarming numbers. Food and Water Watch has drafted legislation to ban new factory farms and the expansion of existing ones, and revamp farm policies to build a food system that works for everyone. We hear from Eric Weltman of Food and Water Watch; lead legislative sponsors Senator Jabari Brisport and Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal; and Michael Richardson of Third Act.

Several hundred New Yorkers traveled to the state Capitol on Wednesday March 19 as part of the Renewable Heat Now campaign. A main focus was the passage of the NY Heat Act, which passed the Senate last year but stalled in the State Assembly. NY Heat would require state agencies - especially the Public Service Commission - to align their policies and regulations with the state's climate law (CLCPA) and to cap utility bills for low-income New Yorkers at 6% of their income. The Assembly has not supported the bill while the Governor has balked at the 6% cap though that is already a PSC goal. We hear from Jessica Azulay of AGREE; Emily Skydel of Food and Water Watch; Betta Broad of New Yorkers for Clean Power; and Michael Hernandez of Rewiring America.

On Thursday, February 13, climate activists disrupted the monthly meeting of the Public Service Commissioners in Albany. The immediate focus of the protest was the decision last Friday to approve the expansion of the Iroquois pipeline which builds out the fossil fuel infrastructure and will deliver more gas. The Hochul administration, while acknowledging that the expansion conflicts with the mandates of the state's climate law, argues that it is needed to ensure delivery of services in NYC especially in cold months. The protest also highlighted the need for the state to finally enact the NY Heat Act to ensure that all state agencies, starting with the PSC, comply with the state's climate law. We hear from a number of protestors, including Melissa from Food and Water Watch, who kicked off the protest by standing up to speak to the Commission as she was swarmed by PSC staff and state police; Michael Richardson of Third Act Upstate; Dr. Sandra Steingraber; Cary Gardner, Vice Chair of the NY Progressive Action Network; and Bill Kish of Millerton.

The Act, which has passed the NYS Senate, Would stop subsidies for gas expansion (e.g., the 100 foot rule); would align state agency actions (e.g., PSC) with the state's climate law (CLCPA); and would cap utility bills for low income households at 6%. Among other issues the campaign is supporting is the Renewable Capitol Act to convert the Capitol complex, including the Empire State Plaza, to 100% renewable energy within three years.

FLUORIDATION: SCIENCE & POLITICS The seduction of the magic potion narrative is timeless. So, too, are the narratives of betrayal. This episode explores the 20th century magic potion narrative of water or salt fluoridation being safe practices that effectively prevents cavities, and the 21st century science that reveals that fluoridation is not only a mythology that profits various stakeholders, but also an immoral medical mandate that poisons brains, bodies and bones from womb to tomb. Guest expert, Karen Spencer, is a member representative on behalf of the Food & Water Watch in a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specific to the pre- and post-natal damage to developing brains from fluoride exposure consistent with ‘optimal' water fluoridation programs and the EPA's betrayal of its mission to protect the public from an ‘unreasonable risk' posed by use of a toxic substance.

The Big Mates discuss time travel, big diving, line dancing, and Reckoning by R.E.M.Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career and discography of R.E.M. by continuing and concluding their track-by-track analysis on the band's second album, released in 1984. They talk about R.E.M. going "full country," recording songs as in-jokes, and provide some more thrilling entries into the Water Watch series, before figuring out what they think of the album as a whole, how it was received at the time, and the legacy it holds in today's musical landscape.They also talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the songs, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.How does Reckoning stack up against the debut?

FWW Opposes Effort To Undercut NY's Ban On Fracking

A newly formed Texan company is attempting to evade New York's fracking ban with a scheme to drill thousands of wells, frack with carbon dioxide, and construct a dozen gas-burning power plants. The company, Southern Tier Solutions, wants to use carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels to extract even more fossil fuels. It's a dangerous example of why carbon capture and sequestration – known as CCS – is a false solution to climate change. Eric Weltman of Food and Water Watch provides an update to Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine. FWW is sponsoring a virtual meeting this Thursday Dec. 14 at 6 PM.

I first fished the North Umpqua a dozen years ago, and I was way late to the game. It's been a river iconic in the steelhead community for at least a century, from before Zane Grey, to Frank and Jeannie Moore, to the present moment. And the situation in the present moment is unbelievable. After reading about it in emails and social media, I lined up a visit with Jim McCarthy of Water Watch of Oregon and Kirk Blaine of The Steamboaters and Native Fish Society. If you were upset by the social media posts, listen to the conversation, and get really mad. Then act. Sign the Native Fish Society petition, and then go ahead and write your state representatives and the governor, and ODFW. And call. And let them know that in the face of innumerable challenges to the survival of wild steelhead, a public and valuable resource that brings incalculable financial benefit to Douglas County, we are watching a small, select group bypass all meaningful regulation and oversight for their own benefit. Senators, ODFW, and the Governors contact is listed below. Jim and Kirk both volunteered their contact information for any additional information or any possible help someone can offer.Petition- https://nativefishsociety.org/action-alerts/ask-you-state-and-federal-representatives-to-stand-up-for-the-north-umpqua-riverhttps://www.dfw.state.or.us/agency/directory/contact_us.asp (https://www.dfw.state.or.us/agency/directory/contact_us.asp)https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/senate/Pages/SenatorsAll.aspx (https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/senate/Pages/SenatorsAll.aspx)https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Pages/share-your-opinion.aspxjim@waterwatch.orgkirk@nativefishsociety.org (mailto:kirk@nativefishsociety.org)

Offshore Fish Farming: Profiting Off Environment, Public Health, & Local Economies

Humans are eating more seafood than can ever be replenished, a vital source of protein for 3.3 billion people. There are many different ways to feed people while conserving our marine ecosystems without overfishing and industrial fish farming. Unfortunately, the US government and multinational corporations are pushing offshore industrial fish farming as a way to keep people eating their salmon and shrimp. In fact the US government is fast tracking industrial fish farms in federal waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. International agribusiness companies are pushing legislation that would open the floodgates for US offshore factory fish farms (think Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations on the ocean). Our guest, Andrianna Natsoulas from the Don't Cage Our Oceans coalition campaign [https://dontcageouroceans.org/], says no to these industrial fish farms, while advocating for community-centered seafood supply chains. We talk about the impacts to public health and the environment from these massive open net-pens. She also advocates for the alternatives: sustainably managed wild-caught seafood and aquaculture fish farming practices that are embedded in social, economic, and environmental values. For the extended interview, click here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/andrianna-of-our-86979454 Andrianna Natsoulas is the Campaign Director of the coalition Don't Cage our Oceans [https://dontcageouroceans.org].
