• 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!

  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.
