The Sand Wars Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. Have you heard about The Sand Wars? We'll be focusing on Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens here but it's happening across the planet because not all sand is alike. Melissa Ferretti, 4th term tribal chairwoman of the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe and Meg Sheehan, environmental lawyer and coordinator of Community Land and Water Coalition join us to dig into the issue. At the same time we will be celebrating MA Governor Maura Healey's issuing an Executive Order granting state recognition to the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe. The Sand Wars are taking place on or near tribal lands.

Our Enviro Show Quote of the Week is from The Prez's climate guy:

“This is not the end of our fight for a cleaner, safer planet. Facts are still facts. Science is still science. The fight is bigger than one election, one political cycle in one country. This fight is bigger, still, because we are all living through a year defined by the climate crisis in every country of the world.”

- John Podesta
