Greetings Earthlings. The recent primaries reminds us of the importance of voting, especially in these troubled times. Here in Massachusetts a shifty undesirable Dem tried to unseat our longtime anti-fascist enviro hero Sen. Ed Markey claiming he was too old. Thanks to smart voters the challenger was pushed back. Closer to home here in WMass' 1st Franklin District House race we were fortunate to have Lora Wondolowski win over a former aide to an unresponsive State House Rep known for a lack of support on forest and other environmental related issues. Lora, on the other hand worked for national groups like the National Audubon Society, League of Conservation Voters & The Peace Development Fund. Lora seems responsive to her constituents, a welcomed change out here. She joins us for the interview.

Our Quote of the Week is all about voting:

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

― H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

Greetings Earthlings. You've probably heard some of our past shows concerning the ongoing destruction of the Connecticut River by the corporados who pump vast amounts of water and all the aquatic life within it through turbins up into the Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage pool. Juxtapose that with Connecticut River Defenders who have been pushing back against such madness for awhile now and are now thinking amphibiously. Priscilla Lynch and Terisa Turner join us for that.

The Enviro Show Quote of the Week is perfect for this week's show:

“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.”

Greetings Earthlings. We talk a lot about trusting the land on this show but it's not often we talk about Land Trusts. Sally Loomis & Sarah Welch of the Hilltown Land Trust join us to talk about it and their Stewardship of the Land as we celebrate their 40th Anniversary.

Our Quote of the Week is spot on for this week's interview:

What's the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?
