About this episode
This double-length show explains tips from the book "Advocating for the Environment: How to Gather Your Power and Take Action" by environmental lobbyist, public servant, teacher, and author Sue Inches from Maine. https://sueinches.com/  After meeting at the 2023 Conference on Communication & Environment and hearing about her book and vast experience, I invited Sue to be interviewed on In Tune to Nature for a longer format show (52 minutes). This gave us more time to discuss advice from the book, such as: the power of being visionary in environmental action (and the 80-10-10 rule), the importance of reframing our earth stories and values to focus on interconnection, bridging partisan politics in the U.S., effectively lobbying of decision-makers, reasons to be hopeful for environmental change, and key steps you can take to get active. In Tune to Nature is a long-time weekly show airing on Wednesdays from 6:30-7pm EST on Atlanta indie station WRFG (Radio Free Georgia) 89.3FM hosted by Carrie Freeman or Melody Paris.
