Host Nanette Wiser chats with author and environmental activist Robin Greenfield in advance of his visit to the Tampa Bay area where he will be speaking in Tampa and St. Petersburg as part of his tour.  👉Eckerd College will host a special event with Robin Greenfield (environmental activist and author) as he continues his mission to forage 100% of his food this year to highlight underutilized wild resources. Greenfield will offer his insights at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday Feb. 11, 2026 in a public lecture at Eckerd College’s Fox Hall, 4200 54th Avenue S. St. Petersburg, FL 33711.  👉The Eckerd College Community Farm will join Greenfield’s initiative by planting new trees on Feb. 11 and donating banana trees to neighboring community gardens. The EC Community Farm is a 1-acre sustainable farm and food forest situated between the soccer and baseball fields in the heart of Eckerd’s campus in St. Petersburg, Florida. It provides produce to the campus, while creating opportunities for hands-on education, service, and recreation.👉Greenfield believes the Earth can provide us with everything we need. For one year he is foraging every bite of his food and medicine. “Nature” is his garden, his pantry and his pharmacy.  To bring this message to the people, he is traveling to communities throughout the United States. He will embody a relationship of reciprocity with Earth during his community visits, bringing a spotlight to the food and medicine that is growing freely and abundantly all around us. As well as enthusiastically inviting communities to join him in a grassroots effort to plant 1 Million Community Fruit Trees over the next decade. Upcoming events.  More on Robin.  Resources from Robin.  "A Thoreau-esque character for our digital age, he pushes the boundaries of essentialism to their outer limits in what amounts to performance art with purpose: shedding modern artifice to connect more deeply with himself and the planet. After walking 1,600 miles down the Pacific Coast with just 44 possessions, Robin arrived in Los Angeles, sat naked in Griffith Park, and relinquished everything — no ID, bank account, phone, or clothing — to live in nature, subsisting on strangers’ kindness."MORE#environment #robingreenfield #eckerdcollege #1millionfruittrees #sustainableliving #foraging #zeroconsumption #zerowaste #nanettewiser #livelifebetter #stpete #stpetefl  #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete  #dtsp #downtownstpete
