For A Green Future

01/03/2026

Just finished the For A Green Future 2025 clip show. As always, I'm amazed at the breadth and depth of our guests! We had environmentalists from Ukraine, Australia, and Norway. We interviewed scientists, activists, and people who've dedicated their lives to preserving the Earth. It was a rocky year, there were hundreds of attacks on the environment, but there were also many, many people who have leapt to Mother Earth's defense and we were honored to be able to interview many of them on our show.
