Reclaiming Earth Day- The Climate Minute Podcast

As we celebrate the 45th anniversary of Earth Day, it’s time to take stock of where we are and where we are going. Of course, it’s only been five years since the BP disaster. What’s up with that? We discuss.
The reading list:
•    Some Earth Day history, from the New Yorker (with accurate dates!)
•    Brentin Mock on Earth Day and Environmental Justice
•    Wen Stephenson on Port Arthur, Texas
•    Joe Romm on saving ourselves
•    John Kerry on Earth Day
•    Some things we know now that we didn't know then
•    Explaining the BP spill
•    The risks to the Gulf

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
