		<title>GDR: Junk Mail</title>
		<itunes:author>Good Dirt Radio</itunes:author>
		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[For most people, paper junk mail is a nuisance and a waste of air cleaning trees. Americans cut down over 100 million CO2 absorbing trees each year just for junk mail and that which is not recycled, ends up in a landfill or incinerator, creating a massive amount of greenhouse gases.  Burning fossil fuels for the paper, ink, printing and transportation for over 100 billion pieces a year, puts around 50 billion metric tons of CO2 into our fragile atmosphere.   Junk mail's impact is equivalent to the energy used, and pollution from, over 9 million cars or heating 13 million homes through an average US winter.  Not only is junk mail a direct cause of climate changing pollution but sorting, reading and recycling it can take up to 8 months of your life.  Sure, it's often informative for a few, but… the enormous volume of paper junk mail is adversely affecting the biosphere. How can we take steps to reduce unwanted junk mail and how might that reduce climate-changing pollution? Join us to hear about services that can stop your junk mail and help the biosphere.]]></itunes:summary>

		<title>GDR: Why Organic?</title>
		<itunes:author>Good Dirt Radio</itunes:author>
		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[On the shortlist of major causes that affect the stability of the biosphere, factory food systems are very near the top. Proponents of the return to organic food, claim that big ‘Ag’s current energy and petrochemical intensive systems are toxic and too centralized.   Petroleum based industrial agriculture is a major contributor to climate change and continues to damage air, water, soil, and a rapidly growing number of species. Tune in to hear how grass roots organizations across the US are working to clean up our mainstream food supply by going local and organic.]]></itunes:summary>

		<title>GDR: Mileage</title>
		<itunes:author>Good Dirt Radio</itunes:author>
		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Its no secret that motor vehicles cause major amounts of air pollution. NASA’s Goddard Institute states that the combined US transport sector burns about 138 billion gallons of oil into our finite air space each year and is one of the world’s biggest sources of pollution.   Its easy to forget  but there is a direct connection between driving and the changing climate.  We drive about 3 trillion miles each year emitting over 350 million metric tons of CO2…enough carbon to fill a coal trail 55,000 miles long... long enough to encircle the Earth twice.  Join us to learn about simple changes in driving habits that help reduce engine pollution and save money.]]></itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Sustainability is a popular, and somewhat overused catch phrase, often misunderstood by everyone from environmentalists to corporate sales departments.   But one person with a clear vision of sustainability and how ecosystem-based designs can save resources, money and time… is our friend Gunter Pauli.  Gunter is a pioneer in Zero Emissions who consults internationally on environmental solutions. He's an entrepreneur, visionary writer and member of the Club of Rome who speaks 7 languages.  His latest book,The Blue Economy, illustrates how in ten years... just 100 innovations could create 100 million jobs, leaving popular, often expensive ‘green’ concepts in the dust.  Join us to find out how common sense and interconnected solutions can turn vast amounts of waste into abundant resources while reducing pollution.]]></itunes:summary>

property owners faced with rising energy costs.  The 
benefits of rooftop solar include energy income, tax 
savings and a reduction of one’s carbon footprint.   
Increasingly, householders are harvesting sunlight 
for their electricity and heat, saving money on utility 
bills while reducing climate-changing pollution from 
burning fossil fuels.  Yet cost can be a hurdle. And, 
a large number of folks live in condominiums or town 
homes where it may seem impossible to install a solar

		<itunes:author>Good Dirt Radio</itunes:author>
		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[If healthy rich soil serves as the digestive system of the planet then, trees are the lungs. They play a major role in absorbing carbon dioxide, filtering air pollution and... making oxygen. Trees help control erosion and support healthy soil, which sequesters even more CO2.   But how often do you/we go out and plant a tree?  Since many of us are responsible for cutting one down every year, what if this year's Christmas tree was alive and potted, to be planted after the Holidays?  Sure, its just one tree, but with so many of us out there, enough people catching on to an idea like this, can make a big difference.   Join us for info on how live Christmas trees can help create positive changes in the climate.]]></itunes:summary>

But, as the saying goes… we’ve got our best people working on it.  Added incentive has come from the volatile price of fossil fuels as reserves dwindle, and the increasing push toward renewables for the sake of climate stability. Although the cost of solar panels has decreased significantly, many folks either rent, have shaded roofs or yards, live in condominiums or can’t afford to install a complete system. Tune in to hear about a new model of utility scale, community owned solar installations are sprouting up. It‘s a timely idea, which is attracting interest and funding.]]></itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Backyard gardening is returning to the mainstream. When industrialized food production was born in the 20th century, people were ready for less work and more comfort.  Generations... have bought into the ease and availability of processed factory foods but our dependence on large scale industrial food production… has come at a huge cost.  Most factory farms rely on the concentrated use of fossil fuels, toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers that poison the environment and our bodies.   Meanwhile, organic gardening proponents, working from the sidelines, are seeing a resurgence in the art of growing healthy, local food.  Today, leaders of the Organic Movement, such as the Organic Consumers Association, are fighting for our health by promoting rules such as labeling requirements for genetically modified and engineered foods.  Many people have already taken dirt into their own hands and started  gardening.  They often find a payback for their work and create a pathway to more sustainable living and self-reliance.  In the process, they’re also gaining an understanding of the natural limits of the biosphere.   Large numbers of local schools now offer gardening time and educators say its one of the best places for kids to learn.   In spite of current funding cuts, gardening programs continue to flourish in schools.  Tune in to hear more about kids gardening, and the positive benefits they reap for a lifetime.]]></itunes:summary>

When sprayed on our backyards, city parks and in industrial agriculture… as they are across the nation, cumulative effects of toxic residue, in the biosphere, can have lasting effects. This over use of chemicals is suspected to be a cause of the widespread bee and bat colony collapse and is affecting ecosystems all the way up the food chain to humans. From local lakes, creeks and rivers to the exponentially growing dead zones in the sea, and from lawns, gardens and farms to the atmosphere, the petroleum intensive production and use of these toxic chemicals is a major cause of climate change.

Fast-forward to today’s spin-saturated, disposable, consumer America where almost all material goods made in the past 100 plus years have ended up in our landfills, including much of our food waste. But because natural resources are increasingly expensive to find and extract, waste… is becoming commonly seen as a resource.  Among the easiest of waste streams citizens can capture… and utilize, is food and organic waste, which rot in our landfills, causing dangerous changes to the natural balance of the atmosphere.
