Interview: Positive Planetary Changes from Elizabeth May's Vantage Point

I’ve been waiting to interview Elizabeth May for a while because she has her finger on the pulse of the nation and planet when it comes to the positive changing tides that are going on around us. From my perspective she is keyed into this because of her awareness of what is needed to pull us back into environmental balance. In this show I was astonished to realize that Canadians are kept in the closet about how other countries are farther along and considerably more determined with their progress in turning climate issues around. On one hand I felt really grateful that other countries are so committed to saving our planet. On the other it made me question why Canada is so far behind with our own progress. As you know the Gulf islands are in Elizabeth’s riding. Her heart is truly loyal to us by the way she speaks about us with adoration. I think the feelings may be mutual ;) What we discuss on this show: The profound changes Elizabeth is witnessing on the pla…

How shifting from hopelessness (about environmental issues) and changing …

I’m on the Salt Spring Gulf Island Community Radio interviewing people near and far who are making good news on the planet by helping to shift the outcome of our future. These people and companies have created solutions to local and global issues we’re facing at the moment. Sharing the good news that’s happening on the planet is key at this time as there are people out there who are making big changes and we need to see the turning tides. One of those local issues is, of course, having affordable housing on our island. In this 7th episode I’m interviewing Colin Crystal about who is a Tiny House on Wheels Builder about: * Why people choose to design mobile tiny homes to live in * The unexpected benefits that come along with it, feeling more integrated in community and nature * How the relative low cost of tiny homes makes it possible for people to ground into spaces they love * How tiny houses could be a viable solution to our Salt Spring Island housing crisis …
