Music & Introduction – 5:30
Good Morning!!! Welcome to another edition of the Great Green Home Show...This week’s show is airing 8 days after the first annual Great Green Expo, but it’s our first chance to actually recap how it went. We hope everyone listening had an opportunity to come out to the Expo. We had an incredible time and if you were there, we hope you did too. If you weren’t there, you missed a great event and we’re going to take a few minutes to try and bring you up to speed on some of the things that happened there. Obviously we need to take a minute to thank Clear Channel for producing the Expo. We really appreciate their partnership in this drive to green the planet. We also want to say thanks to all those people who worked so hard at the Expo: Martha, Marco, Marlene, Ryan, Kathyrn, Chrissy, Paige and too many others to name; they’re all to be commended. They did an excellent job, performing in a pressure situation without losing their patience or their minds… no small task given the circumstances. We couldn't have done it without them or without the help of nearly the entire staff, who spent just a ton of time getting the show together and pulling it off. We’d like to dedicate this morning’s show to them… the underpaid, under appreciated and dedicated staff at Clear Channel Radio.
So grab your favorite monkey or your collection of porcelain clowns and let's get started with this week’s show. What? I’m just making sure they’re paying attention!
I’m Doug Hunt and next to me is my co-host, Paul Hughes. How’re ya feelin’ this mornin’? Are you in pain? Can you speak? Will the METS win the pennant this season?
I feel great this morning. I’ve still get a buzz going from the great green expo..... I see this as a wonderful first effort.... and certainly helps get the word out and gets us started in our minds for spring, earth day, and changing some of our habits for a more healthy, energy-saving... rest of the year... and beyond. So later in the show, we’re doing a list about all the things we liked about the Expo.... so I am going to just put a short blurb here and then we'll get on with things
I'll be announcing the dates and whereabouts for my green Seminars on:
- “The Language of Living Green”
- “Living green in the urban environment”,
- “The Green Home “
- “Renewable Energy and Profiting in the Future Markets, Now”
The great thing about all of these seminars is that you will actually be improving your quality of life and your health, while reducing your carbon footprint and your cost of living... I think a lot of people will find this very exciting, and well grounded information... many Europeans have been living greener for centuries and they live a great lifestyle over there... sometimes I think it's a bit smarter than ours... so keep an eye out for that... oh yeah and they’re FREE...
Well anyway... Some of you are listening to us for the first time because we met you at the Expo and we welcome you to our show we hope that you’ll listen often, but always know, if you miss us on Sunday you can go to WILM.com and use the keyword Green Fox, or green.... and listen to us anytime you want.
Call 443-553-5888 and ask for me or just ask if the green Fox is hanging out... also go to GreenandSave.com and look for that huge upgrade over time...its the best site on the web to learn, compare and shop for energy saving products. We welcome them as a sponsor and hope you’ll will use their fine site to help improve your savings as well as reduce your energy and your carbon foot print...they have video...product ratings, where to buy...and more.
Good! Now please thank our sponsors.

Today’s Topic – 3:00 Sponsored by: Myecoagent.com
Usually, this segment has a list of things, appliances, energy-saving practices, green products and ratings, assessments of certain green businesses... generally, this is an information section... however, if you were at the green Expo you probably got lists and lists and lists of different things to do to reduce your carbon footprint, energy use and hopefully your monthly bills... so this week, we’re moving on to a different topic....
This is a topic that very few people want to touch and although we try to keep it light here on the GGHS, I think this topic has a silver lining if we stand any chance of keeping this environmental titanic afloat. And since everybody's pumped up today from the Great Green Expo, I think we can talk about it... Politicians don't want to talk about it... but we should talk about it.... and that's Population... we don't do doom and gloom here but we need to say something about worldwide population growth... We have to figure out a way to not just slow it down, or even stop population growth... we actually need to reduce the worldwide population. We actually abuse the soil in order to try and find ways to feed our population.... the technology for cloning cells for food production is risky at best... so what can we do?
I think the first thing is just a discourse... we need to find some way to educate people, so that they understand why the earth is ill-equipped to deal with our current population… we're overfishing the oceans (disappearing Salmon on ABC Ha), over-farming the land, and using up all of our natural resources at an accelerated rate these days to grow food... at this point we’re losing topsoil at an alarming rate... I figure we need some new ideas here...
Well, there’s one simple way to solve all these environmental problems in a very quick and sustainable fashion, and nobody wants to talk about it… and that’s controlling population... with a goal of trying to reduce it worldwide over the next 35 to 40 years so that our oceans and our farms can support the level of human life and all other life in a renewable way. That's it… It's not so difficult in concept... we need to brainstorm this idea as quickly and as collectively as possible... come up with a game plan... and get people to buy in and take a proactive approach...
ME and Doug Brainstorm and goof around.......
I'm not sure which combination of ideas or what alliances we need to make to move this key piece of our problem... I do know we can do it and we can do it quickly...
On the plus side we have a new atmosphere on the planet now where people are waking up to the fact that we need to mobilize quickly in order to save our planet, our food stocks, Our Species and agriculture not to mention the world for our children that they can sustain and live and well...
So because it's been hard to talk about population and so many religious groups and other groups are so opposed even thinking about reducing population.... we've also got to talk about how to support the population we have until people realize that we can no longer support the population we have and keep a sustainable eco-economy........ and make no mistake I'm still not giving up on talking about population control we have to make people aware before they starved to death...
So... one answer is take a look at your diet.... as you know for every pound of beef not produced we save 19 pounds of grains.... we are not trying to get people to give up the beef they love, not entirely... just to reduce their consumption of beef by half, along with an increase in the consumption of local greens and grains... don’t support ethanol… support conservation....
Another way to go which will help... Can the food that you buy from the community supported agriculture group that you've invested in, buy local food and produce, local canned goods, and modify our meat centered diets... and one way to learn about that will be at Francine's new community market out in Hockessin
We’ll be right back...
