Earth Day 2022: Building a more inclusive world

April 22 marks the 52nd annual Earth Day, a celebration of the beginning of the modern environmentalism movement.

Guests Red Fong and Olivia Griset, co-directors of the Maine Environmental Education Association (MEEA), talk about the history of the field, how Maine educators are teaching it today, and how MEEA is looking at environmentalism through an equity lens. 

Maine Community Foundation donors helped fund the Relearning Place Convening, a summit this May that will bring together Black, Indigenous, other people of color, and other folks with white privilege from across the Northeast for three days of building relationships, sharing resources, and developing cross-racial coalitions and solidarity networks.

The "Maine Ties" theme is "Blue Heron" by 317 Main.
