Sustainability News & Entertainment with Diana Dehm provides a space to share sustainable solutions for the planet, all in support of the next generation... and what better way to work towards a more sustainable planet than with the members of the next generations?

Education is such an impactful driver in creating our sustainable planet, and K-12 students can be incredibly innovative in discovering and executing sustainable solutions. With empowerment from parents, educators, mentors, and community, children are absolutely achieving positive change.  We just need to "support them, educate them, love them...and get outta the way - Diana Dehm!"

Join Diana Dehm as she interviews Stephen Ritz, founder of Green Bronx Machine and Jennifer Seydel, COO & CFO of Green Schools National Network. Both guest discuss unique ways implementing sustainability education into K-12 curriculum.  

Stephen Ritz teaches his kids the value of literal "living" rooms by including farming practices in his classroom environment. He also has provides an alternative to illicit activities for at-risk youth with his farming effort "From Crack to Cucumbers" where he dedicates his time to "harvesting hope and cultivating minds".

Jennifer Seydel  offers a network for K-12 educators and administrators to gain a new perspective in educating today's youth and moving beyond conventional teaching practices. She believes educators should take their instruction beyond four walls and help children view their community as the whole planet. She strives for a systems approach so students can gain an appreciation for all life forms rather than chopping up education in to specific subjects.

Tune in and share your thoughts!

Some of you may remember the days of musicians Janis Joplin, Bob Marley, The Beetles, and Marvin Gaye creating music about the environment in the 1960's.  Today, are you asking yourself "What happened to cool entertaining music for the environment to create today's sustainable planet for our next generation?"  We have Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz singing about it, and we also have Matt Jenson, Boston's Berklee College of Music Professor of the "Bob Marley Class" & recently launched CD, Dragon Fly Taxi.  

This show portrays Matt's anger and frustration about the lack of awareness and commitment to the environment through to collective sustainable solutions you may never have even thought of.  Matt shares his story and his sustainable solutions through reggae sounds and non-traditional disruptive thinking. One hint, Matt bases his ultimate sustainable solution on Bob Marley's philosophy.  Check out Diana's interview with Matt Jenson.

Sustainability News & Entertainment with Diana Dehm, believes there is a wide open space of opportunity for musicians out there to create lyrics and music relating to our sustainable planet. Diana created the ECOMUSICIANS & ECOSONGWRITERS CHALLENGE in 2009 as a platform for helping musicians get their sound out through radio and media. The ECOMUSICIANS AND ECOSONGWRITERS CHALLENGE is in memory of her brother Dave Dehm, a die-hard musician with a huge unmet vision. Diana believes we can connect more deeply through the beauty of music and arts that we all enjoy, while supporting our talented, committed, unknown music hero's in their dream.  This is all while creating our sustainable planet together.
