On June 28th, 2008 I did an interview on KPFA’s “Morning Talks” with Kris Welch. I was joined by Parin Shah, Local Policy Director of Green for All.

The conversation was framed in the context of national efforts to realize a vision of social equity in both the emerging green economy and local food systems. The intersection of People’s Grocery’s message for “Food Justice” and Green for All’s message for “Eco-Equity” made for an interesting conversation of how our efforts share many principles and synergies for a wider social justice agenda. What partially emerged in this conversation is the idea that the energy economy and the food economy can be linked together at both national and local levels to create benefits and opportunities for low-income peoples.
