  • Una Isla de Esperanza en la Amazon: a bilingual interview con Luis Muñoz y Lexi Gropper of Amisacho Reforestation Project
    2021/05/19
    “Earth’s medicine cabinet,” “lungs of the planet,” the Amazon is known for many things including sparking the American environmental movement. Before the (remarkably unsuccessful) “save the rainforest” thing in the ’80s, most Americans were unaware of the global, environmental significance of the Amazon Rainforest.  Guests, Luis Muñoz and Lexie Gropper live and work on a reforestation “farm” in Northeast Ecuador, lovingly called Amisacho.Luis’s parents started the project 14 ish years ago, with just a few acres. Now a 30+ acre island of jungle amidst widespread clear-cutting and desertification, Amisacho is home to multiple species of monkeys, a community lab for experimenting with native plant species, and other sustainable harvesting endeavors.  Luis and Lexie share about their wide-ranging work, which includes, installing solar panels in remote indigenous communities, making art, essential oils, biochar,  medicinal tinctures, and fostering healing in the wake of decades-long corporate pollution from Chevron/Texaco’s oil drilling. Part of their mission is to rebuild not only the forest, but a sense of community, hope, and resilience in the face of continual pressure to clearcut, plant monocultures, graze livestock, or allow international corporate extraction.  Loss of forest means loss of habitat for plants and animals as well as the loss of entire people groups, and cultures– cultures that hold invaluable indigenous wisdom, language, and stories. It means the loss of atmospheric oxygen and biodiversity–  the value of which the rest of the world has yet to even comprehend. (See how this forest could have sparked a movement?)This episode inspires us to remember what it means to be indigenous to a place, to protect and invest in future generations we may never know. There are many ways we can all help turn the tide, wherever we are. First by being aware of the impact of our choices and supporting the work of indigenous groups and projects like this one. Collective effort and patience have helped make Amisacho a place where the jungle demonstrates the power of biodiversity, resilience, and restoration. To learn more about these topics and see how you can make a change by voting with your dollar (how you shop, how you invest, or divest) check out the links in the show notes. And finally, please consider the ways you can support the work of the world’s indigenous groups currently protecting 36% of the world’s intact forests. Many in the Amazon have been protecting ancestral lands for decades, at times with their lives, against pressure from government and corporations. Thanks for listening.Amisacho's WebsiteAmisacho's Facebook PageSupport the conservation work of  Alianza Ceibo as they defend ancestral land from extractors and polluters, setting legal precedents that will protect watersheds, cultures, biodiversity, and so much more for future generations. Interested in divesting in big oil?

  • Spawning a Myco Revolution with Peter McCoy, Author of Radical Mycology
    2021/04/29

    Most of us know very little about fungi in contrast to their vast presence and integral role in our world. Sometimes called, "the earth's internet" fungi, specifically mycelium connect literally everything. They are the ultimate recyclers, decomposing and upcycling waste into food, medicine, building materials, and more.  

    Our guest, Peter McCoy recognized his passion for fungi while still in high school. Around that same time, he also began to recognize the profound lack of education and awareness around them.  Peter's personal journey to learn about this mysterious and integral kingdom led him to eventually write the most comprehensive singular work on fungi to date.  His book, "Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing & Working With Fungi" has sparked events, film fests, online educational tools, and a startup called Mycocycle.  We asked Perter many questions in this ep and learned, we have so much more to learn about these incredible (sometimes edible) organisms.

  • Cancel Culture: Reclaimed
    2021/04/15

    Who have you canceled this year? A high school classmate with a different view? A political figure? A brand that misstepped?

     

    Our views have become radicalized and many of us fear stating our views on social media. Cancel culture has become normalized amongst Twitter threads, IG follows, and Facebook timelines alike.

     

    Are we making ASSUMPTIONS or are we “woke”? It’s time to flip the script. Join hosts Eeland, Kaitlin, and Cecily in this episode where we try to use Cancel Culture in a more evolved way.

     

    Let us know which lifestyle choices you can CANCEL with us for good before Mother Earth cancels US.
