Greetings Earthlings, we trust you’ve recovered from the labors of the day. It’s the One Thousand Five hundred thirty first anniversary of the fall of the Roman Empire this Tuesday! We’ll see if what goes around comes around. Lynn DiTullio of the River Valley Market Green Team comes to these microphones with news of the new green building going up out on the north end of King Street for the River Valley Market co-op, and Chris Mason, the new Northampton Energy officer joins us to envision a greener Paradise City for the future. As usual, Amherst’s David Kroodsma calls in from the Ride for Climate. Speaking of empire, we return to chilling subject of Darth Cheney. We’ll celebrate the fall of Enemy of the Earth, Larry Craig, AND we delve briefly into the Enviro Show Echo Chamber, but first it’s time for......Revenge of the Critters! We read another episode of Bambi’s Revenge AND link to our first video edition: The Buck Stomps Here!.

OK, things are still heating up in Montague as citizens rise-up to protect their water rights. Posters are going up and chat rooms are filling up as folks prepare for the next steps in resisting the corporados from Nestle who have set their sights on the Montague Plains aquifer as a source for a corporate water bottling operation. We’ve put the latest info up on our blog, but for tonight we’re just asking you to pen a letter of protest to the Mass Fish & Wildlife Board who manage the Montague Plains Wildlife Refuge and fax it to (508) 389-7890 or mail it to: One Rabbit Hill Road, Westborough MA 01581. Tell them the Board should re-affirm its policy and indicate that Nestle cannot use public resources for private gain. The Board’s mandate is clear: preserving lands and water acquired for biological resources and habitat protection. Talking points are posted on the MontagueMA.net website.

In the Enviro Show Echo Chamber we note the just passed second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with this encouraging story from the LA Times. Of course, the fall of Repugnican Senator Larry Craig was all over the news this past week, but let’s have a look at what WASN’T reported: the guy’s awful environmental voting record!

Pink Floyd's "Signs of Life", reminds us there’s signs of life in the old quarry out on the end of King Street. We do our interview with Chris Mason, Energy Officer for Northampton and Lynn DiTullio of the River Valley Market Green Team.

Glen! There’s the theme, what’s the count?? We'll checkout Scott Ritter’s thoughts on Why Cheney really is that bad. We couldn’t agree MORE!! (and we have a hunch you might agree as well!).
