HoCoCast

The HoCoCast team of Baz, Daniel, Emmy, and Olivia, focus on the environment in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day (April 22). Joining them in this episode is local environmentalist, Chiara D’Amore. Ms. D’Amore, a graduate of Wilde Lake High School, is the founder of the Community Ecology Institute and of the Columbia Families in Nature and Roots & Wings Learning Community programs. In our wide-ranging discussion we learn about civic ecology, permaculture design, and how to build resilience in times of crisis. The episode continues with the HoCoCast team sharing their favorite science fiction and environmentally themed books as well as their thoughts on the current global crisis. Finally, to celebrate National Poetry Month, the HoCoCast team concludes the episode by issuing a writing challenge to our listeners.
