L&BH Radio, Wed. July 19, on WPVMfm.org
Listen & Be Heard produces a two-hour special presentation on Wednesday afternoon at 3pm, EST, hosted live by Martha Cinader from WPVMfm 103.7fm in Asheville, NC and at WPVMfm.org anywhere in the world.
After the hottest week on Mother Earth on record, Laura Lengnick, author of Resilient Agriculture, and Meredith Leigh, author of the Ethical Meat Handbook, will join Martha in the studio to discuss what we can do about it.
To guide our conversation, we will talk about each of the twelve things that we can each do to be part of adapting and responding to climate change and cultivate resilient agriculture where we live. As we go through Laura’s list from her book, we will talk about what writers and other creators can do to understand the issues and be a part of communicating an impactful message.
And of course, some poetry and spoken word for inspiration.
