• Episode 21: Neighbors Build Climate Resilience in Their Watersheds

  In this double-length episode, we speak with two guests from the Watershed Project, a Bay Area organization that protects and restores our landscapes that drain into waterways: creeks, rivers, and ultimately the San Francisco Bay. We'll find out how they work with thousands of neighbors to envision, build, and celebrate “green infrastructure” and clean water projects that use nature-based solutions, such as trees and native plants. Teachers and young people benefit from their education and internship programs. Guests: The Watershed Project’s Juliana Gonzalez, Executive Director, and Natalie Matias, Community Engagement Manager Host: Dalya Massachi Great Guest Quote: “With climate change being at the forefront of so many of the problems that we're going to face, investing in those under-resourced, frontline communities to make them more resilient to the changing climate is such an important thing.” - Juliana Gonzalez, Executive Director, The Watershed Project Keywords: #climatecrisis,#climateaction,#climatejustice,#climateresilience,#nature-basedsolutions,#raingardens,#bioswales,#participatoryprocess,#greeninfrastructure,#watersheds,#urbannature,#greencareers           Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/105BCRcHtsSht36fYzEAveKUC2yxPU-nuqqaln1_mtQI/edit?usp=sharing This episode’s recap blog post: coming soon Did you know?

• Episode 20: Cultivating Their Own Sustainable Food Systems: Indigenous and Black Communities (SF Bay Area and Detroit, MI)

  In this double-length episode, we speak with folks doing similar work in both the San Francisco Bay Area and Detroit, Michigan. Our two guests – Joshua Hoyt from the Cultural Conservancy’s Native Foodways Program and Shakara Tyler from the  Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network – are reclaiming the right to feed themselves and own their communities' ecologically sustainable food systems. They are nourishing their communities by restoring cultural and spiritual ties with the Earth, building their local economies, and healing historical traumas. We all learned a lot about how their work is taking shape in different cultural contexts, with strong overlap. Great Guest Quote: “If we don't actually address the ways that we relate to the environment and our place in it, then we will just continue to make the same mistakes over and over again.” - Joshua Hoyt, Native Foodways Program Guests: Joshua Hoyt, from the Cultural Conservancy's Native Foodways program (San Francisco Bay Area’s Sonoma County); Shakara Tyler from the Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network Keywords: #climatecrisis,#climateaction,#climatejustice,#foodsovereignty;#nativeamericanjustice,#blackfarmers;#indigenousfarmers;#nativefood                         Co-Hosts: Dalya Massachi and Kevin McClendon (Proximate media platform: https://www.proximate.press) Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15BYaXimbGtwxg-Os86fqYBoEgijXMmDJ1656l-vs9rQ/edit?usp=sharing This episode’s recap blog post: coming soon Related Action Resources:  Cultural Conservancy’s Native Foodways Program: https://www.nativeland.org/native-foodways and their podcast, the Native Seed Pod: https://www.nativeseedpod.org National Library of Medicine article on Native American food insecurity and poor health outcomes: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5422031/   Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network: https://www.dbcfsn.org/ Story of the Detroit Black Farmer Land Fund: Decolonization and Abolition in Practice (video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5IrZcWklWM Twin Cities Public TV: Article on a new generation of Black farmers and faith leaders cultivating the future of food sovereignty: https://www.tptoriginals.org/whats-happening-on-the-front-lines-of-food-justice/ Related Everyday Climate Champions Episodes : “The Black Church’s Inspiring Work in Environmental Justice”: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1L0RBmzhUUCFWYyYtvTcQt "Indigenous-Led Climate Justice": https://open.spotify.com/episode/4EhJRVjxQL5fcFSkivSGT1?si=uBwMSn-VSFe796PBDkE25Q Please share this podcast with a few friends, family, or colleagues.  Remember to follow this podcast to find out when new episodes get released!

• Episode 19: Partner Interview: ‘We the Children’ Podcast

  In this special episode, we speak with the 12-year-old host of another climate podcast - called ‘We the Children’. Our guest, Zach Fox-Devol, discusses his podcast for kids who, like him, are interested in the climate crisis. We learn what inspires him, and get to hear an excerpt of his podcast episode on our oceans and the plastic polluting it. He - and his podcast guest - also suggest how kids can get involved. Guest and Title: Zachary Fox-Devol, Host of the ‘We the Children’ Podcast Great Guest Quote: “We want to help kids feel empowered, feel confident to make a difference. I feel like a lot of the time climate change feels like this huge problem that a lot of adults can't solve. And I know as a kid it can feel really overwhelming.” Keywords: #climateeducation,#eco-anxiety,#climateanxiety,#childhoodmentalhealth,#climatecrisis,#climateaction,#climatediscussions,#climatejustice,#climatepodcast#oceanhealth,#plasticcrisis                         Teen Co-Hosts: Isabella Genereaux and Hasini Parepalli Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zn8-uLwStWB4t2mMgifp-v4FuG8kE50nd4pv7aln-fI/edit?usp=sharing This episode’s recap blog post: coming soon Did you know?

  In this episode, three of our co-hosts (Dalya Massachi, Sean Mendelson, and Ellisa Feinstein) talk about what we're learning in our conversations with community members here in the San Francisco Bay Area. We share what stands out for us, and why we’re doing this work to create a “homegrown supplement to the mainstream climate news.” We also hear from listeners like you – about how they are finding the podcast inspiring and educational, and how it gives them ideas about what climate actions they can take in their own communities.  Great Guest Quote: “This is really what drives us here at this podcast - having people this excited about things that are happening right in their backyard.” - Ellisa Feinstein, one of our co-hosts Keywords: #climatecrisis,#climateaction,#climatediscussions,#climatejustice,#everdaypeople,#BayAreaneighbors,#cliamatechampions                          Host: Dalya Massachi Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s5k4Br-o1Y6G5kT_ajPeztScMGpd3ikJ60OXuZbBxD4/edit?usp=drive_link This episode’s recap blog post: coming soon Did you know?

• Episode 17: Raising Children During the Climate Crisis

  In this episode, we discuss the personal impact that climate change-fueled fires had on our guest and her young child. She also explains, from a therapist’s perspective, the steps parents (and others) can take to deal with the growing problem of climate anxiety in themselves and in their families. See below for links to many helpful resources we share. Guest: Jennifer Silverstein, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Great Guest Quote: “This is an existential worldwide problem. We're not going to solve it by ourselves and we need to work together, and…we really can't take care of our emotional well-being by ourselves, either.” Keywords: #eco-anxiety,#climateanxiety,#eco-distress, #climatedistress, #childhoodmentalhealth,#parentmentalheath;#climatecrisis,#climateaction,#climatediscussions.#climatejustice Host: Sean Mendelson Transcript: ⁠https://docs.google.com/document/d/1shFML82U17cndUeTwjPCbrjT_xd0ahiAUHFltT3oDmg/edit?usp=sharing⁠ This episode’s recap blog post: coming soon Did you know?
