Pollution, sustainability, the climate crisis, renewable energy, environmental justice, electric vehicles. We are faced with many issues, problems and solutions related to the protection of our environment. But many of these topics are complex, with scientific factors, multiple influences, governmental policy and regulation impacts.
Deeper Shade of Green is our effort to improve understanding of issues that are often over-simplified in the news and other media. Dr. Chris Bolt, Ed.D. seeks out people who can shed more light on the contemporary status of the challenges and solutions to environmental problems.
Dr. Bolt's research on environmental education and behavior suggests just knowing about any of the things affecting our environment is not enough to spur action. Deeper Shade of Green seeks to go further into understanding so people can realize the impacts on them, as well as feel part of real solutions.
Music for Deeper Shade of Green episodes comes from the Syracuse-based jazz group E.S.P and is used by permission of the band.
