Behind closed doors and as furtively as possible, the Trump Administration is wreaking havoc on our water, air and soil. Federal lands and waterways are being subjected to lower standards far beyond the Clean Air & Water Acts and those traditionally of the EPA. Today’s show is bringing to light the shadowy activity of those Administration which are harming our environment and our health. The National Envronmental Policy Act is being discarded as thoroughly as they can by this Administration. For this, Mitchell interviews Scott Edwards,director of Food & Water Justice.

One of the many horrors besieging us these days among so many is the increasing presence and reality in our lives of 5G. Oh isn’t it another wonderful technological advancement that will speed things up even faster? Well yes, faster downloads, and faster to illness and to our graves. Yes, it’s that serious. But you’d never know it based on mainstream media which is part of the problem by promulgating this technology and which also benefits from it. Nothing about the serious dangers. Since when is it worth it to download a movie a little faster if it’s going to jeopardize the health of your brain? Today’s guests on A Better World Radio, are experts from the Alliance for Natural Health, Dr. Robert Verkerk and Meleni Aldridge, who will help unpack the untold story about 5G which we all need to know asap, for both our own health and safety, but also to help shape a campaign of action. Dr. Robert Verkerk is an internationally acclaimed scientist with over 25 years experience in the field of agricultural and healthcare sustainability, having worked in academia, industry and the not-for-profit sector. He has worked extensively in Africa, Asia, Australia, the Americas as well as Europe. Meleni Aldridge has been immersed in the field of complementary medicine for over 27 years; as a practitioner, a university lecturer and as executive coordinator of the Alliance for Natural Health International (ANH-Intl).

A Better World continues its ongoing series on the Environment & the subjects of Global Warming & what has amounted to Climate Catastrophe. Mitchell's guest today, internationally-renowned journalist and author of many books, most recently, The End of Ice, Dahr Jamail, terms it "Climate Disruption". Today we'll take another look at the global, eco-systemic situation from the point of view of melting glaciers and ice. Dahr's far-reaching, well-researched work reveals a picture of the planet that we are all better off knowing about than not. In late 2003, weary of the overall failure of the US media to accurately report on the realities of the war in Iraq for the Iraqi people, Dahr Jamail went to the Middle East to report on the war himself, where he has spent more than one year in Iraq as one of only a few independent US journalists in the country. Dahr has also reported from Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. He has also reported extensively on veterans’ resistance against US foreign policy, and is now focussing on anthropogenic climate and the environment. Dahr’s stories have been published with Truthout, Inter Press Service, Tom Dispatch, The Sunday Herald in Scotland, The Guardian, Foreign Policy in Focus, Le Monde, Le Monde Diplomatique, The Huffington Post, The Nation, The Independent, and Al Jazeera, among others. Dahr is currently and has been a feature writer for Truthout.org for five years, and his climate feature page there is titled ‘Climate Disruption Dispatches‘. Join Mitchell and Dahr today in this exploration of 'what's happening on the ground and in the mountains' of our beautiful planet that is heating up more rapidly than anyone might have predicted. May it help to clear up what choices we can make to be part of the solution.

Of the many formidable and threatening issues facing our species is the abominably reckless, irresponsible actions of politicians who began the nuclear project at Los Allamos and have continued it in various forms since such that we have warheads facing Russia now as we have since the Cold War and they too have theirs facing us. We have utterly tenuous and volatile nuclear power plants across the country, some sitting on earthquake faults (Diablo) and others situated within 20-50 miles of major urban centers with millions of people (Indian Point). Among the many threats to our and many other species, the nuclear threat looms as one of the greatest. To speak about this threat today with Mitchell is American journalist, author, democracy activist, and advocate for renewable energy Harvey Wasserman. Harvey has been a strategist and organizer in the anti-nuclear movement in the United States for over 30 years. He has been a featured speaker on Today, Nightline, National Public Radio, CNN Lou Dobbs Tonight and other major media outlets. Wasserman is senior advisor to Greenpeace USA and the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, an investigative reporter, and senior editor of The Columbus Free Press where his coverage, with Bob Fitrakis, has prompted Rev. Jesse Jackson to call them “the Woodward and Bernstein of the 2004 election.” He lives with his family in the Columbus, Ohio, area.
