Shane Snipes discusses sustainability issues with two documentary filmmakers and a New Orleans film studio. We will answer how can a film have an impact on the future, a community, and make difference in the world? At the top of the hour is One Lucky Elephant's Director Lisa Leeman and Producer Cristina Colissimo. Where does an elephant go after a life in the circus? Sixteen years have passed since circus producer David Balding adopted Flora, the orphaned baby African elephant he lovingly raised as part of his family and made the star of his show. We'll talk about the making of this film and how it changed their ways of thinking. At half past, Taggart Siegel speaks with us about the making of Queen of The Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us? This film is an in-depth investigation to discover the causes and solutions behind Colony Collapse Disorder; a phenomenon where honeybees vanish from their hives, never to return. Queen of The Sun follows the voices and visions of underrepresented beekeepers, philosophers, and scientists around the world, all struggling for the survival of the bees. Starting at the 60 min mark, we will have the Director of Sustainability, Diane Wheeler, of the LEED Silver Second Line Studiosin New Orleans talking about the first certified sustainable production space in the USA. To reach Silver LEED status, there are hundreds of materials, operations, and grounds requirements. Listen in as we explore what green filmmaking really means.

John E. Ikerd, Professor Emeritus of Agricultural Economics, University of Missouri Columbia, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. Join is for this hour long conversation with one of the unsung heroes of the sustainability movement. This prolific writer, speaker and teacher sits down with Shane to explore our shared future. As Ikerd says, "We are at a critical time in agriculture and cannot go on like this. If [rural] towns are really lucky they can get a prison. If you cannot get that, maybe a landfill. and if all else fails, a CAFO. This model of rural economic development will not work. It is also a time of great possibilities, we are going through a period of great transformation. we are moving out of the industrial era and into something fundamentally different. The big question is the one of sustainability. We have gone though decades of extraction, and its gone. so how do we meet the needs of the present without diminishing the needs of the future? There is a growing realization that when you use up the productivity of nature and of people you realize that there is no place to get anything anymore. The financial crisis, the gulf. we cannot continue to extract and exploit. Going through the transition we must rethink every aspect of our lives and when we are done our lives will be fundamentally changed."

Landfills are reaching their limits and creating billions of dollars worth of pollution that impacts our water, air, land, and health. Earth’s natural resources are used and discarded beyond their capacity to regenerate, while methane linked to waste contributes significantly to global warming. To achieve a sustainable system of managing our resources, communities must incorporate nature’s law, waste = food, and channel materials into re-use and new production. >>> Explore why an island like Hawaii is the perfect place to strive for zero waste. How they are doing it. And what innovations are coming out of zero waste events. We will explore what makes a zero waste event, how to manage all the aspects of your waste stream.

Jackie Savitz, Pollution Campaign Director for Ocena. Jacqueline Savitz to the Obama Administration’s Decision to Lift the Deepwater Drilling Moratorium This is an incredibly disconcerting and unjustified move, that could open the door for the next great oil disaster. Oil spills are common. The question is not whether there will be another spill but when. While the recent BP spill occurred on a well permitted by a previous administration, and based on regulations that were not devised by the Obama administration, that will not be the case with the next spill. When the Department of Interior devised its three criteria to be met before the moratorium would be lifted, they seemed reasonable. The industry would have to demonstrate that it could prevent a spill, contain a spill and respond to a spill. But those criteria have not been satisfied and therefore, lifting the moratorium is premature. Whether new safety requirements will be sufficient and whether they will be followed are open questions. Another spill could happen tomorrow, next week or next month, and it may not be easy to contain, as we saw with the BP spill. .http://na.oceana.org Listen >>> Email us your questions for the guests to onair@sustainable1000.com, Tweet us at @sustainable1000, IM on Gtalk @ vannShane or call-in your questions or comments to (347)996-3601.
