From the foods that nourish us to the rains that replenish our
streams and rivers, from the materials we use to build our homes to
the spiritual sustenance of bird songs and sunsets, nature imbues
our lives. It’s our home. Earth Notes explores this home through
stories of the intricate relationships between nature and our daily
lives.
Rooted in science and wrapped in human interest, each Earth Notes
segment is ninety seconds long and focuses on the Four Corners
region of the Southwest. Segments focus on the diversity of this
beautiful region and on solutions-oriented approaches to today’s
environmental problems. Topics range from home composting and
gardening to rare plants and animals, from issues of sustainable
building and transportation to multicultural views of the region’s
ecology.
Each segment is
heard by over 100,000 listeners on Arizona and New Mexico public
radio stations. Scripts are written by professional freelance
writers and reviewed by experts in a variety of fields. Earth Notes
scripts are positive, presenting real solutions to the problems
plateau residents and ecosystems face. Together, they form a road
map pointing the way to a more sustainable future.
