Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

We Can’t Take Clean Water for Granted 1:17:14

לפני 3 years1:17:14

1:17:14

Providing safe, clean drinking water to all people is one of the most basic roles and responsibilities for a functioning civil society. Yet, 50 years after passing the Clean Water Act, the United States–the richest country in the history of the world–often falls short of this rather modest goal. Aging infrastructure, rising costs, and ineffective governance structures all impede the ability to deliver safe water to everyone in America. And, although it seems like drinking water should be non-partisan, it too can become a prisoner of the political and cultural fights that have woven their way into seemingly every aspect of American life. In this episode, we speak with Anna-Lisa Castle, Policy Director, Clean Water & Equity at the Alliance for the Great Lakes about the challenges that communities face in ensuring clean water is available to all and the potential solutions. Note for listeners–we recorded this before passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, so you will hear us lamenting the inability to move infrastructure legislation through Congress. That said, I don’t think anything we discussed has been made irrelevant as there’s still much to do with implementation of the law and there remains a long list of unfunded infrastructure projects that have to be addressed if we’re going to have clean water for all.

Major Questions (And Answers!) about the Supreme Court 1:27:53

לפני 3 years1:27:53

The recent West Virginia v. EPA Supreme Court ruling has left the environmental community fearing the worst: a conservative Court hamstringing the EPA’s ability to tackle climate change. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the ruling with Professor Eric Freyfogle, legal scholar, author, and former Prairie Rivers Network board member. The conversation includes some spirited back-and-forth about the Court’s rationale for its decision, the legitimacy of the Court’s reasoning, and the broader implications for the environmental movement.

The Mississippi River–America’s most iconic and storied river, and the lifeblood of human civilizations and cultures dating back centuries–has again been named to a list of the nation’s Most Endangered Rivers. In this episode, we speak with Olivia Dorothy, American Rivers’ Director of River Restoration in the Midwest about why the Mississippi is endangered and how a new proposal in Congress could unite Mississippi River states and kickstart much-needed environmental restoration across the region.

Ethanol is promoted by industry as an environmentally-friendly renewable fuel source, but in reality, it’s actually fueling climate change. In this episode of Stories from the Floodplain, Prairie Rivers Network speaks with Dr. Tyler Lark from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Illinois may not be the Sunshine State, but after last year’s monumental legislative achievement - the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act - renewable solar energy is more available and affordable than ever. And there are dedicated people throughout the state working to bring solar projects to communities and rooftops. That includes our latest guest. In this episode of Stories from the Floodplain, Prairie Rivers Network speaks with Bejeray Morrison, Solar for All program manager at Sunrun. PRN’s Robert Hirschfeld talks with her about her work, what shaped her path, and what the new solar opportunities in Illinois mean for Black communities.

Tracy Fox: PRN River Steward Award Winner 34:14

Each year, Prairie Rivers Network honors an individual whose on-the-ground efforts to protect the state’s rivers and streams inspire us. We present that person with the River Steward Award. In this episode of Stories from the Floodplain, Prairie Rivers Network speaks with this year’s River Steward Award winner Tracy Fox, a Peoria-area activist who got started by her interest in birding and who has now put her mark on Illinois’ energy future. We do a deep dive into the recently signed Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) and what it means for Illinois communities. There are many dedicated volunteers around our state who spend countless hours working to protect Illinois’ rivers. They educate us; they do the legwork; they speak the unpopular truths; they go above and beyond. We were humbled by our conversation with Tracy Fox and are extremely grateful for the work she has done to protect our environment.

30x30: A new conservation of, by, and for the people 44:54

Could the answer to the climate and biodiversity crises be a new, more inclusive model for locally-led conservation of America’s lands and waters? In this episode of Stories from the Floodplain, Prairie Rivers Network speaks with Tonyisha Harris, Chicagoland Conservation Manager at the Illinois Environmental Council (IEC). She talks about growing up and becoming an environmentalist on Chicago’s South Side and describes the importance of the 30x30 program, a nationwide effort to conserve 30 percent of the land and water of the United States by 2030.

Spreading Poison 54:28

לפני 4 years54:28

54:28

The natural world is under multiple threats, many of which are complex and difficult to measure. Landowners, farmers, municipalities, and industries across the country apply pesticides at an alarming rate, attempting to conquer nature, maximize yields, and eliminate “pests” and “weeds.” These invisible chemicals often do not just harm the intended pests, they can cause enormous harm to native plant and wildlife species and can pose real threats to human health and water quality. In this episode of Stories from the Floodplain, we talk with Dr. Nathan Donley, a senior scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity about the overuse of pesticides and the complexity of this problem. Dr. Donley describes how the regulatory system is rigged on behalf of the chemical companies and calls for environmental and public health advocates to have a say in setting the rules for whether and how poisons are applied to the land and water.

An Engineering Paradigm 13:48

לפני 6 years13:48

Throughout history, humans have made efforts to control nature. We’ve built structures to keep rivers at bay and farmland and towns dry. But these structures have proven themselves to be far from perfect, and attempting to engineer America’s largest river has only made for worse flooding events. On this episode of Stories from the Floodplain, PRN staff member and host Ryan Grosso speaks with Army Corps engineers to discuss how we can return natural function to rivers and their floodplains while adapting to climate change and exacerbated flooding.
