Project Overview

Environmental Voices, fifteen to twenty-six (15 - 26) new episodes of a program featuring expert commentary on various environmental topics with a focus on Minnesota and the Leech Lake Reservation. This weekly show is centered on the Native American value that humans must protect the Earth. Native American culture and history is interwoven into this environmental program to give everyone a better understanding of how we should care for the things the creator has given to us. KOJB interviews folks with Leech Lake Division of Resource Management, The Leech Lake Health Division, and other local experts. Among the topics includes biodiversity, eco-friendly construction, solar energy, genetically engineered food, reducing waste and overconsumption.
