GOOD NEWS🎉: On Dec. 18, 2023, Colorado Parks and Wildlife experts released five gray wolves — three males and two females — onto public land in Grand County in a historic effort to reestablish a healthy population in the state. Yesterday's release fulfills the wish of Colorado voters who, in 2020, voted in favor of reintroducing wolves in the state. This year Colorado Parks and Wildlife finalized a wolf restoration and management plan. Under the plan, the state agency will release up to 10 more wolves by mid-March 2024 and 30 to 50 wolves over the next three to five years. These first five wolves were captured from Oregon, evaluated by veterinarians and biologists, collared with GPS satellite collar for tracking and relocated to Colorado. 📹 by Colorado Parks & Wildlife ------------ About the Center: The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

Virtually everything we’ve been taught about solving hunger is wrong--all the food we need to end hunger is already in our communities every day. Vince debunks traditional approaches and their environmental impacts and introduces the concept of effective food rescue programs that will end hunger and help save the planet. Vince Hall is the CEO of Feeding San Diego, the county’s leading hunger relief agency and a member of Feeding America. Hunger is a daily struggle for an eighth of San Diegans, including 127,000 children. Under Vince’s leadership, Feeding San Diego is innovating creative new approaches to rescuing healthy food which would otherwise go to waste, and using it to provide over 25 million meals per year across the county. Vince has extensive nonprofit and public sector management experience, including serving as Staff Director for Governor Gray Davis. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication from San Diego State University and a law degree from Thomas Jefferson School of Law. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Humans have made a profound impact on the planet, so much so that we have now entered a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. Ivo Kennedy implores viewers to explore what role urban agriculture can play in society and in our every individual’s life. From large-scale hydroponic systems to grassroots community gardening, Ivo investigates the routes we can take that could reshape our legacy to be about a people that reinvented nature, reinvented agriculture, and learned to appreciate and nurture nature, even in cities. Amid a global environmental crisis, Ivo Kennedy reflects on his seemingly incompatible love for both the natural world and the vibrant character of city life. A graduate student studying public health, he considers how urban agriculture can turn gray skylines green and help us reach environmental sustainability in energy-demanding cityscapes.

The social aspects of stereotyping are explored in a New York Times article, It's Not Me, It's You in their Gray Matter Section, October 7, 2012, on the "stereotype threat" the literature on the subject  showing that even alone in an exam room, we hear a chorus of voices appraising, evaluating, passing judgment. And as social creatures, humans are strongly affected by what these voices say." Ryan Red Corn is presenting us with a view of the force of the stereotype threat on his people.

Is a paradigm shift in energy possible in time to mitigate the worst effects of climate breakdown? In this program, we look at the role of green hydrogen, whose electrolysis relies on solar and wind, as a replacement for black, gray and blue hydrogen which depend on coal or methane in such applications as airplanes, or heavy trucks. Patrick Hogan, NASA Earth scientist emeritus and John Gentile, Managing Director of Cascadia Energy Technologies discuss the possibilities with host, Dale Walkonen. Edited by Mike Coe For more information on modular green hydrogen, see https://cascadiaenergytech.com/ For more information on the state of our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library.

On the 15th of March 2019, 1.5 million people around the world participated in School Strike for Climate; most of whom walked out of school to do so. This was about young people all over the world

On the 15th of March 2019, 1.5 million people around the world participated in School Strike for Climate; most of whom walked out of school to do so. This was about young people all over the world taking a stand, rising up, and saying enough is enough. In this thoughtful and engaging talk, activist Lucy Gray makes a compelling argument for putting climate justice at the centre of humanity’s path forward. Lucy is a 12-year-old climate activist and songwriter. She found her passion in climate action in 2017 and started a climate action group in her school, encouraging young people to come along and learn about climate change. When the international school strikes reached New Zealand, Lucy saw that were strikes registered all across New Zealand, but none in Christchurch, so she decided to lead the Christchurch strike; she also founded the Christchurch School Strike for Climate (SS4C) group and is now also a co-convenor of the national School Strike for Climate NZ team, a group created by students, for students, to plan and run strikes, and to urge the government to act urgently on climate change. Lucy has another passion—music. She wrote a song about changing the way we act, and standing up for what is right, called ‘Rise Up’, which she has performed at the strike and other future focused events like National Young Leaders Day and Festival for the Future.
