EcoNews Report: What Smells at Stinky Beach?

The City of Eureka’s wastewater treatment facility releases its treated wastewater into Humboldt Bay near its facility by the Elk River. Nearby, surfers play at Stinky Beach and Humboldt Bay residents collect seafood.

Jen Kalt of Humboldt Baykeeper and Delia Bense-Kang of the Surfrider Foundation join the show to talk about where your waste goes when you flush and the impacts to Humboldt Bay.

CREATURE FEATURE
Pacific Harbor Seals (Phoca Vitulina), or asipichxúunanacha (Karuk)

Harbor Seals are one of the most common marine mammals along U.S coasts.
They can weigh up to 285 pounds and measure up to 6 feet in length.

These seals hunt for fish, shellfish, and crustaceans
When they are not in the water they can be found resting on rocks, reefs, beaches, and drifting glacial ice.

Harbor seal pups can swim within minutes of birth and by the time they reach a month old, they may swim on journeys of over 100 miles.

“We need to have a whole cultural shift, where it becomes our culture to take care of the Earth, and in order to make this shift, we need storytelling about how the Earth takes care of us and how we can take care of her.” - Ayana Elizabeth Johnson

If you haven’t picked up the newly published All You Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis - we’re highly recommending that you do!

Hear from a number of diverse women who have dedicated their lives to climate justice, building a relationship with the Earth, and shifting the paradigm toward more equitable, feminine, and connected values surrounding social and environmental justice.

As we navigate the climate crisis it is vital that we prioritize the voices of those of us most affected by these shifts - namely Black and Brown folks, people living in poverty, and women - all those who have been most directly oppressed by the same structures that harm the Earth.

“Women have always had the right to speak on behalf of life.” - Pat McCabe / Woman Stands Shining

Let us be informed, loved, and uplifted by this good work!

Join us as we explore some of these writings in our next Thrive: Eco Grief and Anxiety Circle - from 6-7pm PST, Monday, September 27th. 🌿Questions? Contact Brittany at brittanynecmail@gmail.com
