On today’s show, coming back to the airwaves with some good news. A California appeals court ruled unanimously this week that Kern County violated the law by using a flawed environmental review for its local oil and gas ordinance. Why? In order to fast track their oil and gas projects. I’ll speak to Dan Ress, senior attorney for the Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment to get more info. Then we’ll switch gears and continue the series on the demand for sustainable cotton facilitated by A Growing Culture and Cotton Diaries featuring the West African country of Benin.
