J. B, MacKinnon on how ending consumerism can save the environment & ourselves
Part 1 of 2
J B MacKinnon is an award winning journalist & author. His books include Plenty,with Alisa Smith, about their year of eating only food produced within 100 miles. His new book is The Day The World Stops Shopping: How Ending Consumerism Saves the Environment & Ourselves. which explores what would happen if the world stopped shopping, with examples from recent history, including the pandemic.
We also talk about why our level of consumerism in the West is the biggest cause of climate change, and how we need to be talking about it a lot more.
We also talk about examples of cultures and experiments in the West, that participate in sharing economies, and they experience a much greater sense of happiness, community engagement and quality of life.

Old Radio Break
We have gotten requests from listeners for more science fiction in the old radio segments of Somethings Happening and are happy to oblige. Starting tonight, we will begin a run of episodes from SciFi Theater, radio adaptations of works many science and speculative fiction natables. This series is more contemporary than a lot of the old radio mystery and suspense material we have been running, from the 30s and 40s.
SciFi Theater: Sales Pitch by Philip K. Dick, author of Ubik and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which was the basis for the Bladerunner films, followed by an exploration of fear by the visionary writer Ursula K. LeGuin, whose speculative fiction imagines alternative to current oppressive and repressive society and technology. Despite her radicalism, LeGuin was honored with a stamp last year by the US Postal Service. For some reason, they gave it a high denomination, designed for mailing multi-ounce letters, I believe 3 ounces, so it did not get into very wide circulation.

Caroline Casey - The Visionary Activist from sister station KPFA
Astro-Jungian Mythic News
Caroline welcomes forensic, clinical and cardiac psychologist, Steve Parker. Dr. Parker is a Jungian psychologist and stone mason. He lives with his partner, Kornelia Grabinska (a Jungian Analyst), in a birch forest overlooking Fairbanks. He has lived and worked in Alaska for more than forty years, and treasures living on the edge of the wilderness. He has traveled and worked throughout the state, and has been the director of four rural mental health centers. For thirty years he worked as a forensic psychologist, seeing folks at the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital and Fairbanks Correctional Center.
He and his partner Kornelia have run a bookstore specializing in Jungian books (Silver Tree Books) and a toy store specializing in Jungian sandplay items (Happy Moose Toys.) They have taught numerous Jungian seminars, and helped start the C. G. Jung Society of Northern Alaska over ten years ago. He has been the webmaster for www.jungcurrents.com for many years.
He has been dealing with heart issues for twenty years, including a severe heart attack 20 years ago. Out of that heart struggle he has written a book and created a Stone Sanctuary. You can find also him on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/jung.hearted
This episode of the Visionary Activist was recorded either just before or during last week's debate between Biden and Trump on CNN, and Caroline spends some time envisioning a vigorous defense of climate protection by Joe Biden, and reflecting on what the stars and planets portend for Biden. As Shakespeare had it, however, the fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves.
