Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure across the Great Plains, exploring the vital connection between species. He assists Native American tribes in re-establishing bison herds, a keystone species that once shaped the ecosystem. Historically, bison were nearly wiped out by western expansion, devastating both the plains and tribal cultures that depended on them.

The loss of bison had ripple effects, impacting predators, scavengers, and species like black-footed ferrets. Conservationists, led by the Intertribal Buffalo Council, are working to restore at least ten large herds. This effort not only revitalizes the environment but also helps Native American communities reconnect with their cultural heritage, ensuring the survival of the Great Plains ecosystem.

The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose joined Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan from Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to explore Doughnut Economics. This framework defines the goal of economics as "social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth."

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications. This insightful forum, reflecting the Garrison Institute's "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action," offered ideas for improving the quality of life for all.

Helen Caldicott, co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), emphasized the dangers of living near nuclear power plants, particularly for young children. She stated, "It's dangerous to live anywhere near a nuclear power plant - especially children under five years old (within 2 miles)."

This warning was part of her presentation, "Fukushima's Ongoing Impact," recorded on September 28, 2014, at Town Hall Seattle. For more information, visit her website: Helen Caldicott.

Current renewable energy goals often create a perverse disincentive, leading organizations to purchase ineffective renewable energy certificates rather than deploying local rooftop or community

Current renewable energy goals often create a perverse disincentive, leading organizations to purchase ineffective renewable energy certificates rather than deploying local rooftop or community solar. This approach fails to physically clean the electric grid.

A mindset shift, exemplified by the City and County of Denver, can unlock substantial investments. These funds should be reallocated to solutions that enable a physically 100% renewable electric grid and decarbonization, fostering local workforce development, utility savings, and resilient infrastructure.

Jonathan Rogers, Denver's Renewable Energy Specialist, spearheads these efforts, guiding the city towards its 2030 goal for 100% renewable electricity. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Justin Winters, co-founder of One Earth, and Jonathan F.P. Rose, co-founder of Garrison Institute, will discuss how humanity and nature can coexist and thrive together by 2050.

This July 20 discussion is the third in the Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH) Forum Summer 2022 series. It focuses on the "Half Earth" pathway, which emphasizes preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems.

While Half Earth is a necessary component of planetary health, it is not singularly sufficient. Learn about all four pathways and other PPH events here.

A student from Branksome Hall Asia shared their joy, stating that while farming at their grandparents' house evoked childhood nostalgia, discovering and practicing urban farming at school brought even greater happiness.

This sentiment aligns with the World Economic Forum's perspective that clean air, engaging public spaces, and supportive policies are crucial for residents' health and happiness.
