 Hi Everyone...

Today was World Oceans Day and really it is the full week. Today the United Nations had a wonderful Conference. Tomorrow there is a Virtual Conference by Capitol Hill. Also, tomorrow through Thurs Earthx has a full schedule of presentations & movies.

My Broadcast Schedule

Hi Everyone...

Just wanted to give you my schedule link so you can bookmark it.

With permission, I'm broadcasting the Blue Mind Docuseries, Force Blue's Resilience Film and APA/EcoAmerica's Webinar Mental Health & Our Changing Climate: Impacts, Implications & Guidance. I also post on the schedule our Monthly Sustainability Book Club meeting which we are doing via Zoom right now & our Weekly Film Discussion.

Checkout our Sustainability Book Blog to see past, current & future book bios, videos, notes from meetings and to add your comments & questions. We are currently reading Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer's Twenty-Year Battle Against DuPont by Robert Bilott which the movie Dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo was based on. Incredibly, with Perfect Timing, there will be a FB Live Discussion with Robert Bilott, Mark Ruffalo and Retired U.S. Army Pilot Jim Holmes this Thurs (14th) at 4pm central time!!!

This week's film discussion will be on 2 short pieces, a 16 min film called Lost World about Singapore dredging Cambodia's sand and the consequences and a 9 min piece called The Church Forests of Ethiopia which is just amazing! Next week will be the Albatross film. The links for the films and to enter the Zoom meeting are on the links I just provided. Future weeks check the schedule. :-)

Interview with Dr. Nichols on Blue Mind

Hi Everyone...

Excellent Interview with Dr. Nichols! :-)

7th Annual Blue Mind Online Book Club on Facebook

Hi Everyone...

Dr. Nichols is starting his 7th Annual Facebook Live Blue Mind Online Book Club. It will be EVERY night at 7pm Central Time through Apr 19th.

You don't even have to have the book, he reads from it each night. If you can't make it live that is ok, the sessions are posted on his Facebook page for you to view at a time more convenient for you. Below is the link, description of the sessions & schedule. Hope you can join us.

We read and discuss Blue Mind - and other related works - together.

Expect guest readers, fun insights, good conversations, new questions, deep insights and mild adventures along the way. Life and scheduling occasionally delays the live reading, but never fear, you can always watch the archived video later. Be sure to become a patron so that you'll be informed when we go live. Non-patrons will be able to watch the recorded book club episodes when they are made available. Be sure to follow our Facebook page so that you'll be informed when we post recorded episodes. Each Sunday we will consult the Readers' Guide in the back of the paperback edition as a framework for our discussion.
