Selected excerpts from the Monday, April 29, Climate Justice Forum radio program hosted by Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT, http://wildidahorisingtide.org/) feature Soto Zen Buddhist priest Shodo Spring and planning organizer Mark Chavez of Compassionate Earth Walk. They discuss the July through September, 2013, spiritual pilgrimage that traces the Keystone XL pipeline route through the Great Plains, from Alberta to Nebraska, and demonstrates alternatives beyond the control mindset that creates such industrial disasters. Shodo and Mark share information about the walk, associated spiritual practices, and experiences of tar sands resistance communities. Broadcast on KRFP Radio Free Moscow (http://radiofreemoscow.org/) between 7:30 and 9:30 pm PDT live at 92.5 FM and online, the show also covers continent-wide dirty energy developments and climate activism news. Thanks to the generous, anonymous listener who adopted program host Helen Yost as his KRFP DJ.
Helen Yost of Wild Idaho Rising Tide offers news and conversations with climate change activists and scientists about corporate dirty energy projects and citizen resistance, interspersed with protest songs and descriptions of grassroots direct actions and community initiatives.
