Imagine Clean Water: Cows, Basil and Water Run off From Farm, City to Sound on GREEN ACRE Radio on KBCS and online (Part 1 of 3)

Martha Baskin starts another great radio series on Green ACRE Radio this time focused on run off --from farms, suburbs being developed and urban run off.

The LEDE: Next up is Green Acre Radio. Runoff from land, streets and even drainage ditches has been identified as the Puget Sound’s top pollutant. In Part I of a 3 part series on water pollution, Green Acre Radio visits with several farms in the Snoqualmie River Valley. Can farms be viable and protect water quality at the same time?

Green ACRE Radio Closing The Food Gap Food with Food Activist Mark WInne Caps 3 Part Series

GREEN ACRE RADIO's

Martha Baskin's excellent interviews with Mark Winne brings listeners important news about class and race driven "food deserts" that deny low income whites, blacks, red and yellow people healthy nutritious food sources because we can fill up on high fat, deep fried, cheap "food" and "junk food" with high salt contents that fill one up but not in a healthy way.

What can we do about this serious problem? What role can farmer's markets and Community Supported Agriculture or p patches play in bringing nutritious fruits and vegetables to low income communities?

Fine out more by listening in to our show this week.

Best fishes,
