The Enviro Water Show, Part 2 on
Valey Free Radio
WXOJ-LP, 103.3fm, Tuesday 6-7pm
[ webstreaming at: http://www.valleyfreeradio.org/tempstream.html ]

It's Part 2 of our ongoing coverage of water, THE issue of the 21st century.
We'll have a look at privatization issues around water with Jean and with
Jonathan Leavitt of Mass Global Action. First off,  a peek at what the
enemies of the Earth in the Bush regime are up to recently and then we'll
move on to some of the threats industrial civilization is throwing at the
ocean. Also: more ticket giveaways! We have three pairs of tickets to "Marx
in Soho", a CAN fundraiser in Shelburne Falls on April 22. The first three
callers during the music win!

We'll listen to "Get out the Bushes, Get out the Theives" by Stephanie Lee
before we engage in our traditional Bush-bashing. The Bush regime declares
wet land are wetlands! Also, King George and the Court of Big Oil are
licking their slippery lips over new coastal oil drilling plans. Things
looking dim at home? How about a new war!

Then: more oil rigs in the sea? How about LNG terminals? Sand and gravel
mining? Windmill farms? Uh-oh, that's a dicey one. Lots of controversy
there.  OK,...umm...well maybe it's safer to talk about the wildlife IN the
ocean, like the North Atlantic Right Whales and the depleted fisheries.
Yeah, let's do that! Then some words of wisdom for the good peple of
Leverett.

Listening up to "Veolia" by Tom Neilson from the "Only Outlaws will be Free"
album will set us up for a conversation with Jean and Jonathan Leavitt on
privatization of water.

Then it's on to Bus Stop billboard:
