September 30, 2022 13:56 - 50 minutes - 58 MB

This October 22nd will be 10 years since much of NYC was devastated by Hurricane Sandy.  With millions of dollars in federal funding, it wasn’t until this past year that NYC started to take action on making downtown neighborhoods more resilient to ever increasing storms. The plans approved and forced on to residents by former Mayor De Blasio, with the support of our city council and current Mayor Adams- reads like a typical political playbook.  How can we make things worse and spend billion...

Save Wagner Park - The Greenwashing of NYC Part 1

August 23, 2022 10:00 - 47 minutes - 54.7 MB

We all want climate resiliency to protect our homes and neighborhoods – but what do we do when our city officials use resiliency to develop our public green spaces for their profit? In NYC we are currently seeing our public parks being turned into cement, all in the name climate resiliency, except that it isn’t. Science shows that we need the trees and vegetation to soak up the heavy rain falls.   We recently saw the heartbreaking destruction of East River Park where hundreds of mature tre...

Creating a Refill + Reuse Product

April 25, 2022 21:54 - 41 minutes - 47.1 MB

Real change comes from regular conversations over coffee or at the dinner table – not from the Boardroom. When conversation turns to collaboration – that’s when the real magic happens. In 2015 Lindsey McCoy had reached a pivotal point in her own part in contributing to plastic pollution. Living on the island of the Bahamas for 10 years, she saw first hand how plastic really has no graveyard and that recycling is not the answer. And she had enough.

Why we should Honor our Ancient Forests

February 15, 2022 11:00 - 37 minutes - 42.6 MB

Just a few years ago, when we were deep in the Trump Presidency, it felt like every day was a new attack on the environment. From releasing protected park lands to the gas and mining industries, and the gulf waters for drilling – every day with Trump felt like a monstrous machine ripping up our trees and spewing sewage into our waters. For most of us it was devastating. The election of Joe Biden brought hope for clear skies and promises of protection for our beloved planet. But is that wha...

January 12, 2022 02:19 - 52 minutes - 60.2 MB

And there is a gre...

Smaller Families for a Sustainable Future

November 04, 2021 10:00 - 36 minutes - 42 MB

As of today – every alternative energy source requires a fossil fuel to make.  Wind Turbines are made primarily of steel – and as of today – steel can only be made by using coal.  Electric cars require electricity – which is generated mainly from coal. Solar panels?

Life-scaping instead of Landscaping

July 19, 2021 09:00 - 51 minutes - 58.5 MB

Unpacking Menopause

July 05, 2021 09:00 - 43 minutes - 49.8 MB

Today we are going to talk about the word that no one dares mention – menopause. A completely natural phase in a woman’s life that has become so taboo to discuss, it is often whispered.

Why Treat When You Can Prevent?

November 09, 2020 21:47 - 53 minutes - 61.6 MB
