Facebook and a polar bear may persuade people to pare down their energy use The average American consumes 12.5 times the energy of the average citizen of Africa or Asia. With approximately 300 million citizens, that adds up to 2 billion metric tons of CO2, or just over a 3rd of the total waste produced across all sectors of the U.S. economy. Of the other two thirds, much is produced as a by product of the process of meeting the needs of individuals. A reduction in energy use will require a combination of legislation, innovation, and changing lifestyles. The StepGreen team draws from social science research, ubicomp, decision sciences, and environmental engineering to explore the use of of social technologies in encouraging behavior change. This talk covers several projects which explore issues such user acceptance of different iconography (such as an animated polar bear or tree) and language (such as how environmental language differs across ethnic groups); the impact of showing information about user energy savings on their MySpace page on user behavior; and user experiences with a mobile phone that automates sensing of transportation behavior and reports back.

Bonnie Raitt: legendary musician, feminist, activist. Dolores Huerta: legendary organizer, feminist, activist. Two women who both achieved great successes in their fields and who are not stopping anytime soon. But while one was marching on the streets for migrant laborers, the other was headlining concerts bringing attention to the risks of nuclear energy and other issues. Two distinctly different women who chose such opposite paths and came from radically different backgrounds, but both chose to spend their lives trying to make the world a better place for all of us. In this conversation, Raitt and Huerta talk about their passions, their regrets, their fears, and most of all their dreams for future generations.

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/05/09/John_Perkins_on_Confessions_of_an_Economic_Hit_Man "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" author John Perkins argues that corporate executives are often more environmentally and socially conscious than given credit for, in a story concerning an awkward conversation between himself, an environmental activist, and an executive at a prominent automobile manufacturer. ----- John Perkins is the controversial author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. In it, Perkins admits to using "payoffs, rigged elections, extortion, sex, and murder" as tactics to cheat poor countries of "trillions of dollars." Perkins warns about the frightening trend in the American abuse of power drawing from his own three decades as a working hit man. While the book was a runaway best seller, Perkins has received heavy criticism from the U.S. State Department and Washington Post columnist Sebastian Mallaby. In this event Perkins discusses his life, his work and his claims about the inner workings of international finance - Oxonian Society John Perkins spent three decades as an Economic Hit Man, business executive, author, and lecturer. He lived and worked in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America. Then he made a decision: he would use these experiences to make the planet a better place for his daughter's generation. Today he teaches about the importance of rising to higher levels of consciousness, to waking up - in both spiritual and physical realms - and is a champion for environmental and social causes. He has lectured at universities on four continents, including Harvard, Wharton, and Princeton. FORA.tv podcasts are sponsored by Pfizer.

In any other profession, Carl Pope might be considered a "company man." He has worked loyally and tirelessly in the name of the Sierra Club for thirty years, running the organization - the largest of its kind in the country - since 1992. Van Jones has founded several organizations within the last decade, including The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and Green For All. They both live in the Bay Area. They both care intensely about saving the environment. The thing is, they use very distinct methods, although the lines differentiating those methods are blurring as we race further into the 21st century. From the environment to the economy, from old fashioned door-to-door fliers to streaming internet video, Pope and Jones discuss the myriad elements effecting our lives today and the many possible solutions that are nearly within reach.

Is it just me... or is the world falling apart? The Radio Ecoshock Show 080516 Worried? Need a hole to hide in? All through Western history, the human herd has reached panic points. Civilization was expected to end. And sometimes it did. In this program, we'll take the bullet train through global defrosting, climate adaptation, rogue capitalism, economic crash, selling out, capital flight, and the food crisis. You will hear samples from a conference call with world food expert Lester Brown, and clips from a tell-all speech by the radical Canadian nationalist Mel Hurtig. Top Harvard environmental teacher James Gustav Speth says environmentalism has utterly failed. An expert in the hidden economy, Loretta Napoleoni explains Rogue Capitalism. Bill McKibben says we have one last chance. LINKS FOR THIS SHOW: Here are some links to the full interviews and speeches referenced in this show: Lester Brown press call conference on the causes of the world food crisis (34 minutes in a tiny fast-downloading file). Brown, of Earth-Policy.org says this isn't a passing crisis, but a new trend which will cause mass starvation from here on out. Mel Hurtig "The Truth About Canada" book launch speech (1 hour) on sell-out, corporate concentration, merger with U.S. and capital flight. WNYC Leonard Lopate interview with Yale's James G. Speth Loretta Napoleoni book launch speech "Rogue Economics" (1 hour) Here is the best spot to find Bill McKibben's "Last Chance for Civilization" article - with some really intelligent blog reader comments - at commondreams.org. TRANSCRIPT FOR THIS SHOW: You can find the whole thing tied together in this rough and ready transcript for the show. Learn how the billionaires are skipping out on taxes - and on paying for the energy and transportation transformation we will need to confront climate change. This includes a brief profile of one rogue corporation: the Swiss banking giant UBS. Just after we went to air, a former UBS executive was arrested, charged with helping a California billionaire avoid U.S. taxes. Just one of many. American listeners will also be interested in Mel Hurtig's description of secret meetings - a real-life conspiracy among the business elite (and your elected representatives) to sell out America, Canada, and Mexico to create the North American Union (that nobody voted for, and nobody wants...) You have to get that from the audio of the program. Blogger readers, click the title above, or get the one hour program (14 MB) at: http://www.ecoshock.net/eshock08/ES_080516_Show_LoFi.mp3 There is a hilarious bit on biofuels from John Oliver (the "Senior Correspondent" on Jon Stewart's "Today Show") and Andy Saltzman in this program. Find their running series "The Bugle" at the Times Online site here. The whole food crisis is so sick we need to poke black fun at our wasteful fat selves, to see through our thick lenses. Then Lester Brown tucks into the real issues, including a call for an end to the heartless process of using up food for SUV fuel. IMPORTANT Note to Podcast listeners: By popular demand, I have switched this podcast to the smaller Lo-Fi format (32 Kbps, mono). This downloads faster, stores better on your hard drive, and sounds pretty good. The only downside is slightly less quality, if you are into good stereo sound for your Ipod or sound system. And you can't burn this LoFi version direct to older style CD's. It will burn to CD as an mp3 file, which can be played by newer CD players, computers, DVD players, etc. If you are a radio station getting the podcast from this source, you should switch over to the podcast found at our radio support site: www.ecoshock.net That site will continue to podcast the full 56 MB 44 Hhz version. There is an easy sign-up podcast subscription button there. Then you can burn direct to CD from the podcast, and toss it into any station CD player. This is handy for late night, or unattended play. Other listeners who want to continue receiving the higher quality 56 MB version are quite welcome to sign up for the podcast coming from www.ecoshock.net as well. You don't need to be a radio station to use that podcast. One final note: we need more stations! As the number of stations go up, it gets easier for me to bring on the big name authors and scientists. Although, I have to say, we have had no problems so far! Still, if you can contact your local non-profit college or community radio station, please ask them to add Radio Ecoshock to their programing. I realize there is a lot of competition for local air space, but we need one big environment program with the world view. Things like climate change are too important. We can't just say "Oh sorry, we don't have time to tell listeners about that..." Please write or email requests to your local station. If you get some contact with a program director or station manager, can you forward it to me? My address is radio [at] ecoshock.org. I'm also trying to find more Low Power FM stations to broadcast the show. Your suggestions (and their contact info) are also very welcome. We need a revolution to save what's left - and I'm hoping podcast listeners, and blog readers, will help out. From the emails I have received from you - we have a really intelligent bunch here! A lot of activists, scientists, professionals, and even government people are listening to Radio Ecoshock. I appreciate the tips and help people send in. Some programs, including next week's "Too Hot to Handle" - come from listener tips. This has become a group effort - thanks so much! Alex Smith host Radio Ecoshock

Jeffrey converses with Dr. Kam Yuen, Doctor of Chiropractic s and international keynote speaker, seminar leader, and teacher for over 15 years. Dr. Yuen has lectured at the Chopra Center, The Learning Annex, various colleges and universities including chiropractic s, naturopathic, acupuncture schools, and many other learning institutions. Dr. Yuen was granted the title Grandmaster of Shaolin Tai Mantis Kung-Fu by his peers and has been featured on the covers of numerous martial arts and natural health magazines. He is featured as a living legend of the martial arts in the World Black Belt Organization by WorldBlackBelt.com. Dr. Yuen is a world-renowned teacher of Kung Fu, and for over a quarter of a century he has specialized in medical and fitness qigong as a basis for what he calls the Yuen Method. Dr. Yuen was a pioneer and a foremost proponent of Chinese Kung-Fu even where there was no representation of this art in the United States. Over thirty years ago, he was selected to be the advisor and stunt coordinator of the original Kung Fu TV series. He has appeared on the Jay Leno Tonight Show with David Carradine and has been featured on various TV programs such as Hardcopy, Extra, Strange Universe, and E , as well as countless radio shows. Dr. Yuen holds a degree in Chiropractic s and Engineering, and is the author of Instant Rejuvenation, Instant Healing, and Instant Pain Elimination. Some of Dr. Yuen s clients include: Mrs. Martin Luther King, Stevie Wonder, Dick Gregory, Robert DeNiro, David and Keith Carradine, Seal, Steven Seagal, Paula Abdul, Jack Canfield, Dan Millman, and Louise Hay. Dr. Yuen is also an environmentalist and entrepreneur, and the founder of the Yuen Methodology - a state of the art wellness program for Anti-Aging, Rejuvenation, Longevity, and Fitness which gets results that are not duplicable by any other methodology. I think you will find my conversation with Dr. Yuen an inspiring look into the human potential in health and healing and find it reveals what many know to be true - that it is we of ourselves who are ultimately responsible for our own healing.
