Carolyn Schuyler is the founder of Wildrock, an organization that hopes to promote nature play for health with the idea that when children play in nature they become future stewards. After stepping aside as the director, Carolyn was called to take more action to protect our environment. “The problems are so big that Wild Virginia really does need volunteers to be able to have the expansive impact that the mission calls for.” Carolyn says we all need to be stepping up, it can't just be people working for a nonprofit. It's got to be all of us understanding what we can do as citizens.

She is a recent graduate of the Clean Water Advocates Program, an education program to train a small group of dedicated volunteers (“Advocates”) to support Wild Virginia’s efforts to protect Virginia’s water quality.

“Clean water is essential to the whole ecosystem. If you don't have clean water, of course, it affects all the life that's associated with that water.”

Chronicles of the James River: Exploring the Past and Present of Virginia's Iconic Waterway 13:35

för 10 weeks sedan13:35

13:35

The James River, a river in Virginia that begins in the Appalachian Mountains and flows from the confluence of the Cowpasture and Jackson Rivers, meanders through the heart of Virginia for approximately 348 miles before emptying into the Chesapeake Bay. Its origins trace back to the Appalachian Mountains, specifically in the Allegheny Mountains, where the river's headwaters begin their journey across the landscape. This magnificent river has played a pivotal role in shaping the history, culture, and economy of the region. The James River is at risk from 1,100 toxic storage sites , up to 5 billion gallons of coal ash and millions of gallons of crude oil traveling along the shore.…

Push to Protect Diamondback Terrapin as Endangered Species 13:30

för 28 weeks sedan13:30

13:30

The diamondback terrapin was once so closely associated with Maryland that the state's leading university adopted the terp as its mascot, and it holds the title of the official state reptile. However, this species has encountered significant challenges, initially from overharvesting for food and more recently due to drowning in crab traps. The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) has joined forces with 20 other organizations to advocate for Endangered Species Protection for the diamondback. This coalition, which includes regional organizations like Assateague Coastal Trust and Wild Virginia along with national nonprofits, submitted a petition to NOAA Fisheries last month, seeking protection for the diamondback across its coastal marsh habitat from Massachusetts to Texas. According to CBD, the Chesapeake Bay is “likely the most crucial location for diamondback terrapins across its entire 16-state range along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.”…

How Bulk Food Stores Help the Environment 9:37

för 31 weeks sedan9:37

9:37

Bulk food stores play a significant role in helping the environment through several impactful practices. We chat with the Trace - The Zero Waste Store on the Wild Virginia Old Dominion Eco Buzz podcast. They are Fairfax County's only zero waste and bulk refill store . Here are a few key ways they contribute: Reduction of Packaging Waste: Bulk food stores often encourage customers to bring their own containers, reducing the reliance on single-use plastics and packaging materials. This practice helps to minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans, which in turn reduces pollution and conserves natural resources. Decreased Food Waste: These stores allow customers to buy only the quantity they need, which can significantly reduce food waste. Instead of purchasing pre-packaged amounts that might be too large for one's needs, shoppers can get just the right amount, leading to less spoiled or unused food. Lower Carbon Footprint: By sourcing products in large quantities and reducing the need for extensive packaging, bulk food stores can lower the carbon footprint associated with the transportation and production of packaging materials. Bulk buying reduces the number of trips needed for restocking and the overall environmental impact of distribution. Support for Sustainable Practices: Many bulk food stores prioritize sourcing products from local or sustainable producers. This supports farming practices that are better for the environment, such as organic farming, which reduces the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers, and promotes soil health and biodiversity. Encouragement of Reusable Products: Bulk food stores often sell reusable containers and bags, promoting a culture of reusability. This shift away from disposables to reusables helps conserve resources and reduce waste. Consumer Education: These stores frequently serve as hubs for educating consumers about sustainable living and the environmental impact of their choices. By providing information and resources, they empower individuals to make more environmentally conscious decisions in their daily lives. Through these practices, bulk food stores contribute significantly to environmental sustainability and help foster a more eco-friendly community.…

Want to Compost without the Yuck? This Williamsburg Virginia Store Offers It 12:21

för 34 weeks sedan12:21

12:21

Fill Happy VA is just that. You’re happy about the product. Happy about your carbon footprint. And very happy meeting the owner, Jana. She joins the Wild Virginia podcast to talk about her store and composting. Growing up in a rural area has deeply ingrained a love for nature in Jana’s heart. Witnessing her 2-year-old daughter develop a profound fascination with the ocean, particularly whales and sharks, has fueled herpassion for environmental conservation. As a family, they delved into ocean-related topics and became increasingly aware of the plastic crisis jeopardizing wildlife, contaminating ecosystems, and contributing to global warming. Fill Happy serves as an inclusive marketplace, free from judgment. Jana believes that progress towards zero waste doesn't require perfection from a select few but imperfect efforts from millions. Through conscious consumerism, each individual wields the power to make a positive impact. Your choices matter, and every small decision contributes to significant change. I invite you to join us in embracing sustainable products, one step at a time. Did you know that plastic takes over 400 years to decompose, with more than 40 percent being used just once before disposal? At Fill Happy, their focus is on facilitating a low-impact lifestyle by offering simple eco-friendly swaps that are safe for both you and the planet. Something different from other refillery stores that Fill Happy offers: COMPOSTING. You see bigger cities like Vancouver, British Columbia offer it, but there was nothing available in Williamsburg. Composting is a fantastic way to recycle organic waste, reduce your carbon footprint, and enrich your garden soil. What is Composting? Composting is the natural process of breaking down organic materials, such as kitchen scraps and yard waste, into a nutrient-rich soil amendment called compost. This process is driven by microorganisms, worms, and other decomposers. Why Compost? Reduces Waste: Keeps kitchen scraps and yard waste out of landfills. Improves Soil: Adds essential nutrients to your garden, improving soil structure and fertility. Saves Money: Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and soil conditioners. Environmental Benefits: Decreases greenhouse gas emissions from waste decomposition in landfills. What You Need Compost Bin or Pile: You can buy a compost bin or simply create a pile in a designated area of your yard. Organic Materials: These can be divided into two categories: Greens: Nitrogen-rich materials like fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and grass clippings. Browns: Carbon-rich materials like dry leaves, straw, cardboard, and paper. What to Compost Fruit and vegetable scraps Coffee grounds and filters Eggshells Grass clippings Shredded newspaper and cardboard Leaves and plant trimmings Tea bags (make sure they are compostable) What Not to Compost Meat, fish, and dairy products (they can attract pests) Oils and fats Diseased plants Pet waste Synthetic chemicals or treated wood How to Compost Choose a Spot: Pick a well-drained area with good air circulation. Layering: Start with a layer of browns, followed by greens, and alternate. Aim for a 3:1 ratio of browns to greens. Moisture: Keep the pile moist, like a damp sponge, but not soggy. Turning: Aerate the pile by turning it with a pitchfork or shovel every few weeks to speed up decomposition. Patience: Composting can take anywhere from a few months to a year. You'll know it's ready when it looks dark, crumbly, and smells earthy. Troubleshooting Bad Odor: Usually due to too much moisture or not enough air. Turn the pile and add more browns. Pile Not Heating Up: The compost needs more greens or moisture. Mix in green materials and water lightly. Attracting Pests: Avoid adding meat or dairy products and make sure food scraps are buried under browns. Using Your Compost Once your compost is ready, you can use it to: Enrich garden soil by mixing it in. Top-dress your lawn. Use as mulch around plants. Brew compost tea for liquid fertilizer. Composting is a simple yet effective way to contribute to environmental sustainability and boost your garden’s health. Happy composting!…

Buy Nothing Groups and Keeping Trash Out of the Landfill 12:16

för 37 weeks sedan12:16

12:16

For this episode of Wild Virginia Coffee Talk, we chat with the owner of Refill Renew, a local refill store in Staunton and Charlottesville VA. They are your go-to bulk refill store for your everyday essentials. They provide communities with more sustainable options to reduce plastic waste and carry products that are free of sulfates, parabens, plastic, artificial scents and colors. Even when we do our best to sort our plastics and recyclables, global statistics tell us that only 9% of all recycling actually gets recycled. The best way to reduce plastic from our oceans and landfills is to reuse the bottles consumers already have. INSERT PODCAST REFILL STORES REDUCING PLASTIC WASTE Refill stores, also known as zero-waste or bulk shops, offer various benefits that extend beyond the immediate convenience of shopping. One of the primary advantages is the significant reduction in plastic waste. By allowing customers to bring their own containers and purchase only the quantity they need, these stores help cut down on the single-use plastics that contribute to environmental pollution. This not only benefits the planet by decreasing landfill waste and ocean pollution but also raises awareness about sustainable living practices. Another major benefit of refill stores is their ability to support local economies and small businesses. Many refill shops source their products from local farmers, artisans, and suppliers, fostering a community-driven economy. This not only ensures fresher, higher-quality goods but also helps to empower local entrepreneurs and create jobs. Additionally, because these stores often focus on organic and ethically-produced items, they encourage more responsible consumerism, promoting products that are better for both people and the environment. Refill stores also offer a unique shopping experience that fosters mindfulness and intentionality. Customers are encouraged to think about the quantity they need and the quality of the products they are purchasing. This often leads to more conscious consumption patterns, reducing food waste and promoting healthier lifestyles. Furthermore, the communal and educational atmosphere of many refill stores can inspire customers to adopt more eco-friendly habits in other areas of their lives, creating a ripple effect of positive environmental impact. THE BUY NOTHING PROJECT The Buy Nothing Project is a social movement that encourages communities to build stronger relationships and support networks through the sharing of goods and services rather than through traditional consumerism. Someone’s trash could be a neighbor’s treasure - this ideal also keeps things out of the landfill and prevents people from buying new! Founded in 2013 by Liesl Clark and Rebecca Rockefeller, the project started as a hyper-local experiment in Bainbridge Island, Washington, and has since grown into a global network with thousands of local groups. The central idea is to create a gift economy where participants freely give and receive items, fostering a sense of generosity, sustainability, and community. Participants in the Buy Nothing Project join local groups, often hosted on social media platforms like Facebook, to post items they want to give away or to request things they need. These items can range from clothing and household goods to services and skills. The emphasis is on reducing waste by reusing and recycling items within the community, thus minimizing the environmental impact of consumerism. Additionally, the project aims to break down social barriers by encouraging interactions between neighbors who might not otherwise connect, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. The Buy Nothing Project also promotes a shift in mindset from ownership to access, challenging the conventional notion that happiness and fulfillment come from purchasing new items. Instead, it highlights the value of community, shared resources, and the joy of giving and receiving without the expectation of monetary exchange. By participating in the Buy Nothing Project, individuals can contribute to a more sustainable and connected world, one where resources are more evenly distributed and relationships are strengthened through the simple acts of giving and receiving.…

Beyond Plastics and Maintaining the Health of Your Family 16:40

för 39 weeks sedan16:40

Eryn from Eco Inspired joins the podcast to discuss her company, an organization that provides you with products, tools, and resources to help you live a healthier and lower waste lifestyle. They are located in Bon Air outside of Richmond VA, and have products that have been thoroughly vetted to ensure they are ethically and sustainable made and sourced, good for you and the planet and most importantly, practically applicable to sustainable living. Eryn tells us a little bit about her story, why she started the store, the most common materials used as alternatives to plastic, and the Beyond Plastics movement. She has also adovacted for local restaurants to join the #SkiptheStuff campaign. Every year, billions of unused straws, utensils, napkins, condiment packets, and other items are added to take-out and delivery orders only to be discarded. In the United States, 561 billion disposable food service items are utilized annually, leading to 4.9 million tons of waste. Americans go through over 36 billion utensils and up to 142 billion straws each year. Many restaurants include these items in take-out orders, even if the customer doesn't require them. WHAT PFAS HAS TO DO WITH THE PLASTICS ISSUE Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals", are a class of manmade chemicals that are often used in the plastic molding industry. PFAS are used as a common ingredient in mold release composites and coatings, where they are effective at releasing molded plastic parts from molds. However, PFAS also have properties that make them persistent in the environment. PFAS are toxic at very low levels and have been linked to a wide range of health risks, including cancer, reproductive problems, and immune system disorders. They have also been found in human blood and breast milk, drinking water, soil, and food packaging. A study published in Environmental Science & Technology found that food packaging from around the world contains at least 68 PFAS. To lower your risk of exposure to both the harms of PFAS and plastics, you can try to: Use glass instead of plastic Use cast iron or uncoated ceramic instead of nonstick cookware Cook at home instead of relying on takeout Learn more about the products you can order through Eco Inspired by visiting their online shop, or join the voices of the Beyond Plastics movement.…

What's Going On with the Mountain Valley Pipeline in Virginia? 21:57

för 47 weeks sedan21:57

21:57

On May 23, 2024 Wild Virginia and allied groups held an online program to discuss the status of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) and actions groups and individuals may take in the coming months to protect communities and the environment from further damage caused by the project. In early May, the Mountain Valley Pipeline initially aimed for an official in-service date of June 1. This is far ahead of its original in service date of 2018... 6 years ago. However, due to a series of setbacks throughout the last month, the group has postponed this date once more, now targeting an early June launch. In a correspondence addressed to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, MVP officials attributed this delay to the extended construction period necessary to finalize welding activities on the project. They reported that fewer than ten welds remain outstanding for the mechanical completion of the pipeline. Concurrently, Mountain Valley is actively engaged in concluding all requisite testing, cleaning, drying procedures, and tie-ins essential for the pipeline's overall completion. We discuss this on the podcast.…

Water Filter Company Featured on Shark Tank Shares Information on PFAS 17:51

för 52 weeks sedan17:51

17:51

In the spring of 2015, Dr. Eric Roy received word from a former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) member regarding elevated lead levels in Flint, Michigan's water. At that time, the residents of Flint were unaware of the water's contents and long before the city faced a public health emergency. Roy, a chemist specializing in water quality, took it upon himself to address the issue. In July 2015, he established Hydroviv and devised a high-capacity lead filter for Flint. Working from his studio apartment in Washington, D.C., Roy and a friend conducted pressure and leak tests, as well as prototyping for the first Hydroviv filter. With their lab set up in a bathroom sink, he shipped the inaugural filter to a children's organization in Flint just two months later, after locating them through social media. Roy also shares a lot of content on PFAS, so he joins the podcast to discuss why some states have protections, and others don’t.…

Sierra Club Says Don’t Be Mistaken: Taxpayers Are Paying for These Data Centers 24:30

Don’t be mistaken: taxpayers are paying for these big data centers. “What we know historically about fossil fuel plants is they're places in poor communities and black and brown communities.” Data centers in Virginia have become a focal point of concern due to their environmental impact. These facilities, which house servers and other IT equipment, consume vast amounts of energy to ensure seamless operations. The energy demand of data centers contributes to carbon emissions and strains on local power grids. Additionally, the cooling systems required to maintain optimal temperatures within data centers can lead to water usage issues and thermal pollution.

How Mushrooms Show Us Our Environment Isn't Binary 28:30

If we’re critically thinking about it - mushrooms have incredible properties and life saving attributes (umm, hello penicillin). Penicillin G was first made from a penicillium fungus that occurs in nature. Mushrooms show us that our environment is far from binary. Enter queer ecology: an emerging field that seeks to explore the connections between ecological issues and queer identities. At its core, queer ecology recognizes that the struggles for environmental justice and LGBTQ+ rights are not separate, but rather interconnected. By examining the relationships between nature, culture, and identity, queer ecology offers a new perspective on environmental issues and the ways in which they impact marginalized communities. In this episode of Wild Virginia Virtual Coffee Talk, we discuss lawns, indigenous sciences, urban spaces overgrown nature taking over, The Last of Us, Abney Park in London, environmental racism, and how a lot of what we think looks good is actually really bad (for natural ecosystems and sustainability at large).…
