It’s sweet to be back on Sirius Satellite Radio for a few days. You can catch me this week at 10am EST on Martha Stewart Living Radio (Sirius 112/XM 157) as the guest host for Whole Living. We had a fun chat today with Dr. Cheryl Dellasega, author of Forced to be Family: A Guide for Living with Sinister Sisters, Drama Mamas, and Infuriating In-Laws (awesome subtitle!). We talked about how to cope with going home for the holidays, an occasion that we want to be filled with family cheer but can deteriorate into backstabbing bitterness and petty jibes that leave us filling less than fulfilled by our time spent with so many ‘loved ones.’ I enjoyed the conversation because it hit home on some levels for me like I think it probably does for most of us. It’s also fun to to chat about topics that are about how we relate to and treat each other since my radio conversations almost always focus on how we relate to and treat the earth.

But we hit upon that topic with our second guest, Jeff Barrie, filmmaker of the documentary Kilowatt Ours: A Plan to Re-Energize America. I watched Jeff’s documentary last night. He does a fantastic job of first providing a national and global perspective about our energy and environmental crisis, next personalizing it through the stories of those who directly suffer as a result, and then rapidly shifting focus to solutions we can implement on the individual and societal level. He also hits upon one of my favorite topics; the eco-innovation underway at school districts across the U.S. to reign in energy costs and create high-performance educational facilities that enable students to maximize their education and thus their economic opportunities. It’s exactly the type of environmental framing needed to shift the dialogue from problems to solutions and paint a vision of a future that’s better for all Americans precisely because it’s green.

Today’s show is about big ideas (think solar-powered space travel), former SI supermodels like Cheryl Tiegs who are going green in Indianapolis, and our boy Larry David who advises all of us to do our part for the planet by going bald. We also delve into the burgeoning green collar jobs movement with the likes of: Green Worker, Ella Baker Center, and Green COllar Vets.
