Greetings Earthlings. Not long ago a fascinating video came our way titled "Old Growth Forests - Nature's Biotic Water Pump" that informed us in great detail yet another reason to protect, preserve and enable old-growth forests to flourish. One of the presenters, Anastassia Makarieva, theorist at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute in Russia, joins us for the interview.

And our Enviro Show Quote of the Week:

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts ...There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

Rachel Carson
