Bonus Episode - Duncan Cook on Geology vs. Geography, Heavy Metals, and Teaching Children About Environmental Histories

Thursday, September 9, 2021 • Duration 12:24

Meet Me on Planet 3 returns with bonus footage from my interview with Geographer Duncan Cook. He had so many interesting things to talk about that it didn't all fit it in one episode! Tune in to hear about geography vs. geology, how we know the Ancient Maya painted with mercury, and what adults can do to prompt children to think about the environmental histories of the places they know best.

Make sure you also listen to the first part of my interview with Duncan if you haven't already: Episode 6 - Duncan Cook on Learning About Climate Change from Ancient Civilizations.

Episode 6 - Duncan Cook on Learning About Climate Change from Ancient Civilizations

Season 1 · Episode 6

Thursday, August 19, 2021 • Duration 22:40

For Meet Me on Planet 3 podcast episode 6, I interviewed Dr. Duncan Cook, a Senior Lecturer of Geography at Australian Catholic University (ACU). (In American lingo, we'd call him a professor.) Duncan describes some of the archaeological data that support the claim that drought, caused by deforestation, forced the ancient Maya to abandon their inland cities. Climate change, anyone? I seriously learned so much from our conversation. You MUST listen to this interview - Duncan's work and his data are fascinating. I secretly (or not so secretly) hope he invites me on his next expedition!

Some key terms used in this episode:

Anthro: Anthro is a prefix that means human. Anthropogenic means caused by humans. For example, anthropogenic sources of carbon indicates carbon dioxide in our atmosphere due to human activities, such as burning coal for electricity.
Paleo: Paleo is another prefix, which means occurring in the distant past. For example, the expression "paleo diet" is used to describe foods that could have been hunted or gathered by ancient humans.
Geo: A third prefix, geo, means Earth. A Geographer studies not just maps but also how society interacts with Earth's natural environment. Speaking of geography, two locations that come up include the Petén, which is a region in northern Guatemala, and the Yucatán, which refers to an area of Mexico.
Catchment: Catchment is another way of describing a watershed, such as the area surrounding a lake or river.
Calcium Carbonate: A little high school chemistry for you! Calcium carbonate is an important chemical in seashells. Its chemical formula is CaCO3, revealing that it consists of one calcium atom, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms.
Isotope: An isotope refers to the same kind of atom with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei and therefore different atomic masses. For example, Oxygen-16 and Oxygen-18 are isotopes. They are both forms of the element, oxygen, but they have different atomic masses due to differing numbers of neutrons.

Episode 5 - Elizabeth Sockwell on the 4C Tree Project

Season 1 · Episode 5

Friday, July 30, 2021 • Duration 19:42

This pandemic has been so difficult, especially for those who suffered loss. During her fully remote senior year of college, Elizabeth Sockwell began to feel quite hopeless. Instead of dwelling on her sorrows, Elizabeth channeled her energy into something positive, what she called the 4C Tree Project. The 4 C's stand for "Capture Carbon, Commemorate COVID," and this is exactly what Elizabeth strived to do. She worked with her community leaders and fellow student activists to plant trees as living memorials to honor lives lost to COVID-19.

You can learn more about Green Newton's latest projects on their website and follow them @green.newton on Instagram and @greennewtonma on Twitter. Elizabeth also recently started her own blog called Achievable Green - check it out!

Episode 4 - Abel Rodriguez on the Intersection of Art and the Environment

Season 1 · Episode 4

Thursday, July 15, 2021 • Duration 20:40

In this episode, Abel Rodriguez shares his journey toward becoming an artist. Interestingly, much of his artwork is made from discarded materials, and this notion of sustainable art is why I invited Abel to Meet Me on Planet 3. He finds new life for found objects and tells a story with them while also supporting the environment. However, Abel is more than an artist and environmentally-minded person. He is also a thought leader and a social activist. I think you will find this episode with Abel extremely compelling.

You can view some of Abel's artwork on his website and follow him @abel_rdgz on Instagram. Also visit Abel and his husband's community art gallery, El Comalito Collective.

Season 1

Monday, June 28, 2021 • Duration 17:02

For this bonus episode, I share more of my interview with Rhonda Mace, better known as Recycle Rhonda. We first heard from Recycle Rhonda when she spoke with me about her work with Sharon Davison, the amazing kindergarten teacher who was featured in Meet Me on Planet 3 podcast Episode 3. As the School Outreach Coordinator for Vermont's Chittenden Solid Waste District, Rhonda partners with educators in her area to cultivate sustainable practices in their students and the community.
