This week Marie Gerrard and Peter Lockyer  will be interviewing Patricia Armstrong from ESRAG, the Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group. This program was originally planned to go to air in November but had to be delayed. We are so glad it can now be broadcast.We will take a look at the basic reasons why and how we campaign for a safe future for all, for humans and all living beings. What are greenhouse gases and why are they so important? We will also look at the role of the wonder molecule of nature, Chlorophyll and the work it does in in sequestering Carbon Dioxide. We will also discuss what the path forward can be and the urgency of taking  effective action. Find out more about ESRAG here.

Every Tuesday, the team at the BEAM Mitchell Environment Group Inc sits down for EarthChat, a weekly conversation that digs into the environmental questions that matter locally and resonate globally. Hosted by Vanessa, Peter, Ruth, and Tim, this isn't just a rundown of headlines; it's a thoughtful exploration where science, policy, business, and community action intersect. You'll hear genuine discussions that consider the practical realities and the hopeful solutions for the planet's most pressing issues.
