THE INTERVIEW

 

JON BOWERMASTER

 Environmental Storyteller and Activist

 

Oceans8films.com | Hudsonriverstories.com

 

 

JON BOWERMASTER | Hosts the Green Radio Hour every Sunday and will take a personal look at environmental issues impacting the Hudson Valley and beyond. A thirty-year resident of the HV, writer and filmmaker Jon has made films on every continent focused on the relationship between man and nature, many for National Geographic. In recent years he has focused on the relationship between man and nature in his own backyard, specifically on risks and hopes facing America’s First River, the Hudson.  “We are blessed here in the Hudson Valley to be home to some of the savviest, most sophisticated environmentalists in the nation, working on local issues that often link to broad national stories. I think sometimes we take these committed advocates for granted; my goal is to highlight their work, share their voices, with an emphasis on the good works they’re doing, as well as continuing to sound alarms to continued threats.” https://radiokingston.org/en/hosts/jon-bowermaster

 

 

THE GREEN RADIO HOUR | Sunday3:00pm - 4:00pm | The Green Radio Hour with Jon Bowermaster takes a look at local environmental issues impacting the Hudson Valley, with an emphasis on the Hudson River. We have great access to the most committed environmental activists in New York, many of whom are our neighbors, and will focus on sharing their voices as well as stories of hope … whenever possible!

 

 


HOPE on the HUDSON


For each threat the Hudson River has ever faced, there’s always been a proportional force working to protect it. A cast of characters ranging from sailors to farmers to citizen-scientists emerge as heroes, tirelessly defending “America’s first river.”

FARMSCAPE ECOLOGY

(Part of the Hope on the Hudson series)

 

Farming is ever-evolving. Today, when we think about what’s to come next for farmers a key question is, “How do we produce food and still maintain a livelihood for farmers, while respecting the needs of other organisms with which we share the land... .


FARMSCAPE ECOLOGY ASKS THE QUESTION, CAN FARMING AND WILDLIFE CO-EXIST?

  1. "Why Can’t America Have Nice Things? Two Words: “Economic Anxiety” | The Amber Ruffin Show." The Amber Ruffin Show, Youtube. [5:23] The Amber Ruffin Show. New videos every week https://pck.tv/3pOiao8​  America is known for three things: baseball, apple pie, and not spending money on social services. We’re one of the richest nations in the world, but we don’t have a lot of cool things other developed countries have—like the ability to go to the dentist without taking out a loan. But how did we get here?  Show Synopsis: Amber showcases her signature smart-and-silly take on the news of the week, responding to it all with a charming, late-night mix of seriousness, nonsense, and evening gowns.

  1. " Conjugating the Verb 'To Be' ." Nordquist, Richard, ThoughtCo.com. The verb to be is one of the shortest and most important—yet oddest—verbs in the English language. It's an irregular verb, and indeed, the only one in English that completely changes form in each tense. The verb to be is probably the most important verb in English.

  1. "Tamara Lanier’s Fight to Reclaim Her History Could Be Any One of Ours." Vanessa K. De Luca, Medium.com. Imagine if you learned that photographs of your enslaved ancestors had been rediscovered in a museum at Harvard. Then imagine how you would feel if someone told you that you have no right to those photographs. Such is the plight of Tamara Lanier, who has taken on the Ivy League behemoth to secure the rights to the photos, which languished in a drawer out of sight and away from the public eye for years. The daguerreotypes depict women and men, breasts and genitalia exposed, their haunting stares a riveting testament to the degradation our ancestors endured during slavery’s shameful reign.

  2. "The 10 Most Infuriating Things People Have Said to Me as a Black Woman." Sondra Rose Marie, Medium.com. ‘Do you know how to read?’ In the time of coronavirus, I spend a lot of time sitting around with the friends in my quarantine circle trading stories about our lives before the pandemic. Recently, our conversation turned to the worst dates we’d ever been on, and as I relayed one of my dating failures, I shared a racially charged comment one suiter made on a first date.

  3. "Woman fights Harvard over rights to nude SC images of her enslaved ancestors." Jennifer Berry Hawes, Postandcourier.com. What on earth were these? Nothing in the drawer explained what they’d discovered. Only small, handwritten labels affixed to each offered clues: “Fassena (carpenter), Mandingo, plantation of Col. Wade Hampton, near Columbia, S.C.” “Jack (driver), Guinea, plantation of B.F. Taylor, Esq., Columbia, S.C.” “Jem, Gullah, belonging to F.W. Green, Esq.” One of the researchers rushed downstairs to summon their colleagues. The discovery sent Reichlin and others on a quest to solve the disturbing mystery. It continues today, 45 years later. But Harvard historians weren’t the only ones hunting for clues. In 2019, a woman named Tamara Lanier sued the university for possession of the daguerreotypes. Based on her own research, she claimed to be a descendant of two people captured in them.

  4. "GOP-Led States Still Mad About The 1619 Project, Considering Legislation to Dictate How Slavery Is Taught." Joe Jurado, Theroot.com. It’s Thursday, so you know what that means: Another round of Republicans being unwilling to face the fact that slavery was the horrific, violent foundation upon which this country was built. In several states with GOP leadership, legislation is being considered to ensure that the brutal reality of slavery isn’t taught in schools.
