Sustainability Now! | Max Julius | Oberlin College Environmental Studies Major | 5-12-25
from Forward Radio podcasts · host Forward Radio
On this week’s show, your host, Justin Mog, explores the social side of sustainability by connecting across an entire generation with a young man walking a very similar path 30 years later! Max Julius grew up in the same neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia (Arlington Forest) and is now finishing his sophomore year as an Environmental Studies major at Oberlin College in northeast Ohio, exactly as Justin did 30 years ago! As you’ll get to hear in the program, Max is passionately interested in all things natural and sustainable, as an advocate with the Sunrise Movement. Learn about his fascinating Winter Term experience working on Ohio’s first “earthship” called Blue Rock Station (https://bluerockstation.com/); his passion for birdwatching and invasive plant removal; his lived experience of community resilience at Camp Celo (https://campcelo.com/) after the hurricanes ravaged North Carolina; his love of biking, bike repair, and the non-profit which introduced him to that world, Arlington’s Phoenix Bikes (https://www.phoenixbikes.org/); and his thrill at finding a college where the cooperative spirit still lives strong through Oberlin’s many Co-ops (https://www.osca.coop/) The common thread between all these experiences is the "Social Side of Sustainability." Each of these sustainability topics entered Max’s life as part of a social connection, including his brother, Oberlin’s Keep co-op, his summer camp community, Norther Virginia Bird Alliance, and others! As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW! Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am.
