  • Keeping Coal Out of Oakland

    Keeping Coal Out of Oakland
    Jul 17 2026
    Organizers are keeping up the fight against a proposed coal export terminal in West Oakland, where residents already face a high burden from environmental pollutants. Photo of Port of Oakland by Ronan Furuta. More than a decade ago, residents of Oakland, California, first got wind of a plan to export coal from their city through a proposed bulk commodity export terminal. Initially, developers reassured residents that the facility wouldn’t export coal. But it soon became clear that wasn’t the case. Community members and environmental groups have been organizing against the plan ever since. Then, in June, the project got a major boost: President Trump announced that he would provide $75 million to support its construction, part of a larger influx of cash for the United States’ dying coal industry. The announcement injected new life into the terminal, and also into the opposition. Margaret Rossoff, coordinating committee member of No Coal in Oakland, and Veronica Eady, executive director of the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, talk with Terra Verde Co-host and Earth Island Journal Managing Editor Zoe Loftus-Farren about where things stand.

  • Imagining an Ecological Civilization [Encore]

    Imagining an Ecological Civilization [Encore]
    Aug 7 2026
    Author and speaker Jeremy Lent suggests that as climate change, inequality, and social fragmentation intensify, humanity faces an imminent choice. We can either continue with the same system of extraction, exploitation, and endless growth that created the polycrisis we now face—which will almost certainly lead to collapse—or, we can reimagine civilization itself. In his new book, Ecocivilization: Making a World that Works for All, Jeremy Lent presents that reimagination. Guided by proven design principles of ecosystems, the book provides a practical framework that shows how every major sector of society could be redesigned to achieve ecocivilization. Terra Verde co-host Fiona McLeod speaks with Jeremy Lent about this vision for deep, system-wide transformation. They discuss some of the important work already in motion that shows how another world is entirely possible—even against the tremendous odds we collectively face.

  • How to Talk About Wildfire

    How to Talk About Wildfire
    Aug 14 2026
    The West faces extremely high fire potential this season, with a number of major wildfires already burning across the region. No single fire is the same as any other, yet public information about wildfires often lacks geographic specificity and historical context — which are critical to understanding both specific fires and our broader fire reality. Zeke Lunder started The Lookout during the Dixie Fire in 2021 to communicate more nuanced information about wildfires to the general public in real time. He has worked in wildfire for almost 30 years, including two decades as a wildfire mapping specialist and analyst on many of the largest fires in California history. Zeke has also designed and managed wildfire fuels reduction projects, and worked as a prescribed fire instructor and burn boss. He joins Terra Verde host Fiona McLeod to discuss our current fire reality and what we can all do to improve fire literacy and preparedness.
