LADAKH, LOCALIZATION AND THE GAS TIMEBOMB.April 22nd 2019 Presenter: Vivien Langford    Production: Huna at Radio Skid Row Guests:  Helena Norberg Hodge - Local FuturesDr David Shearman - Doctors for the environment Ancient Futures and The Economics of Happiness are the work of Helena Norberg Hodge. She says "  the more time I spent in Ladakh, the more I came to realize the importance of scale.........Ladakhis have an overview and can comprehend the structures and networks of which they are a part,seeing the effects of their actions and thus feeling a sense of responsibility. And because their actions are more visible to others,they are more easily held accountable".  She believes that localized  trade is less carbon intensive. It is at a human scale where we can act responsibly. Globalisation for example flies fish to China to be processed or Macadamia nuts to be cracked then flown back here. Her campaign INSANE TRADE alerts us to the system ch

Andrew Blakers shows us where pumped hydro ponds could be built in the hills around the Bega Valley.He says Australia is fast becoming a Renewable Energy Superstar.

Did you know a return flight to Europe emits 10 tonnes of CO2 per person?Did you know only 10% of Australian flights are for business?Do you know why aviation is not included in the Paris Agreement though  its emissions are the fastest growing cause of climate disruption?Unless you think  innovation or offsets will save us, listen to this moving and well researched broadcast.Plane Stupid was one of the most profound community discussions at SLF. Most of us do not want to know the climate impact of our collective flying.Guided by the gentle Maja Rosen , skyped in from Sweden and  Mark Carter author of "The elephant in the sky ", we consider  making a pledge not to fly .Sign up with a new organisation called  - flightfreeuk.org. They accept international pledges. As Maja Rosen said "If we were in the 3rd World War we'd be prepared to sacrifice anything for peace".  What can we sacrifice to slow down climate disruption?Mark Carter says " Emergency action is essential

Wild Places at the ALP Fringe in AdelaideTim Winton, the author takes us swimming with giant whales. There is a moment when he comes up against a colossal eye and realises it is not going to harm him as it lifts its flipper, huge as an aeroplane wing, to let him pass. He was telling the ALP Fringe the things we have to be proud of in the protection of whale nurseries and why it is time to reform our environmental laws. Peter Owen is from the Wilderness Society in Adelaide . He speaks to Vivien about the Great Australian Bight whale nursery. He says, "This is no time to be expanding the oil industry ". Even though BP and Chevron have pulled out Norwegian company Equinor is still trying. The Mayor of Kangaroo Island took the wishes of half a million citizens to their AGM in Norway. Peter urges the ALP to commit to shutting down the Fossil Fuel Industry.Links from this interview: Operation Jeedera: Documentary Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK6Hh6S9BPE (Sea Shepherd Launches Ope
