Episode 166: Florida Humanities
Manage episode 374909537 series 2833560
While the world burns and Florida scorches as a result of global warming driven by carbon emissions, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection is working to prevent fossil fuel power plants from having to clean up their act.
Former "Welcome to Florida" guest Diane Roberts wrote a wonderful column for the Florida Phoenix recently titled, "GOP Death Cult is holding Earth hostage to White Privilege." Roberts' article serves as a wonderful combination punch in conjunction with Jeff VanderMeer's "TIME" magazine article from earlier this summer encapsulating Florida's numerous environmental calamities and how the state arrived at this catastrophe. VanderMeer is also a former "Welcome to Florida" guest.
On this episode, we discuss Florida Humanities with the group's Executive Director Nashid Madyun. The mission of Florida Humanities is to preserve, promote and share the history, literature, cultures and personal stories that offer Floridians a better understanding of themselves, their communities and their state. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Florida Humanities is publishing a coffee table book anthology of the state's history.
