Sticky Environmental Politics in 2010 [Earth and Industry Radio]

0 by David Wescott on February 2, 2010

earth_and_industry_2010 predictions [Another "Gang of Four" podcast from Earth & Industry Radio featuring host David Wescott (It's Not a Lecture), Tim Hurst (ecopolitology), Maria Surma Manka (Maria Energia), and Jeff McIntire-Strasburg (Sustainablog). Originally published at Earth & Industry.]

This time the Gang of Four is focusing on some of the serious challenges environmentalists (and the PR flacks who love them) face in a difficult political and economic climate... and the challenges are quite serious.

The good news is we'll be back next week with a (hopefully) upbeat discussion about what our side can do to recapture the political and communications momentum from a few years ago. Stay tuned for more and don't forget to subscribe to shis podcast or subscribe to Earth & Industry Radio on iTunes.
