March 1, 2007 was the launch date of an exciting new feature on the Mighty CKCU, 93.1 FM, Ottawa, Canada campus and community radio.
This week’s show included an introduction to the show from John and Carol, explaining what the name of the show means and discussing what kinds of issues will be covered.
How do people research what environmental conditions will be like in the future, and how can this inform decision-making today? Carol interviews Dale Rothman and Paul Steenhof about scenario planning.
Nate traces the history of the North American beef industry and shows how grain-fed livestock production came to be the norm. He interviews Marcel Moise, an alternative beef farmer in Eastern Ontario whose organic greenhouse system challenges this trend.
Then, Paul interviews Cassandra Petrella about the City of Ottawa’s Re-think Garbage program to find out what the city is doing to encourage its residents to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Jessica’s “Science Moment” sheds light on the strange and fascinating properties of super-critical fluids. And, we wrapped it up with highlights of the week’s environmental news.
