Olivia Newton-John and her husband Amazon John Easterling talk with Rob
about their work to save the Amazon Rainforest. Olivia tells why this
rainforest is so important for the planet. Amazon John has spent over 30
years there. He explains the remarkable health-giving properties of the
Camu-camu fruit ( www.DrinkCamu.com <http://www.drinkcamu.com/>). This
indigenous fruit is harvested from shallow boats and is a source of income
for local peoples. In addition, proceeds from sales benefit the Amazon
Center for Environmental Education and Research. Besides the Amazon Herb
Company, Olivia has opened the GAIA Retreat and Spa. Olivia explains why she
named it so and the healing properties one can experience there. Her newest
CD is to benefit the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Center. Olivia
and John conclude with suggestions on what we each can do for a greener
planet. Free iTunes podcast
*And then...same broadcast. . . Bert Lettsome*
While assisting the Virgin Island Environmental Council, Rob talks with Bert
Lettsome, a.k.a. 'Washasha X', Chief Conservation Officer of the British
Virgin Islands in Road Town, Tortola. Bert describes why nature in the
British Virgin Island is more diverse than anywhere else in the Caribbean.
To protect it and maintain pristine, undisturbed nature in the Virgin
Islands, we must all make choices. We also get to hear his song Choices.
Much has been said about the importance of coral reefs. Not enough is said
about the importance of the mangroves that fringe the shores and protect the
coral reefs from choking run-off of sedimentation and algal-blooming
nutrients. Bert plays for us his marvelous song "Ras Mangrove," a
celebration of all the benefits mangroves provide. He will soon be releasing
a video that shows himself dressed as a mangrove tree dancing in the street.
Beginning Wednesday at 12 noon on Moir's Environmental
Advocates.<http://e2ma.net/go/7142773391/208624361/223970926/36218/goto:http://www.artistfirst.com/moirs.htm>
