<p id="yui_3_2_0_1_1316107050057129">Honey bees help pollinate 1 in every 3 bites that we eat… They are vital in our agricultural industry and essential for the survival of the almost 7 billion people who inhabit this planet. And, as the world’s population continues to grow, so does our reliance on honey bees. Unfortunately, most pollinating insects throughout the world are endangered today, including the honey bee. On this edition, we&#8217;ll discuss the honey bee&#8217;s fight to survive amidst a rapidly changing landscape filled with pesticides and parasites. We will also learn the latest about colony collapse disorder and hear from beekeepers, researchers, and gardeners who are trying to protect them.</p>

<p>Journalist Christian Parenti speaks about his new book, <em>Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence</em>. He connects the effects of climate change to the increasing number of civil wars, ethnic violence, criminality and failed states between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Parenti argues that in the U.S., factions on the right are using climate change as an excuse to push for increased border control and harsh anti-immigrant policies.</p>

<p>This week, we revisit a recent show about a natural gas drilling method called &#8220;hydraulic fracturing&#8221; or &#8220;fracking.&#8221;</p>
<p>While the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has increased calls  to  use natural gas as a  so-called &#8216;clean energy&#8217; alternative,  activists are  sounding the alarm  bell about this controversial gas  drilling technique.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll  hear excerpts from the academy award-nominated documentary, &#8220;Gasland.&#8221;</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll also hear from people  from Pennsylvania to the mountains of Colorado who are trying to prevent  the toxic fallout from &#8216;fracking&#8217; before it starts.</p>
<p><em>Special thanks to Josh Fox, the producer of &#8216;Gasland,&#8217; and to Alton Byrd and Rachel Zurer for helping to produce this show.</em></p>

<p>From Kyoto to Copenhagen to Cancun, the United Nation’s climate negotiations have become increasingly ineffective. Despite increasing awareness about the perils of climate change, those in power don&#8217;t seem willing to budge.</p>
<p>On this edition, we’ll hear voices from the streets of Cancun and look at where the world might turn for answers.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;ve ever stepped into a nail salon, you know the smell of a chemical cocktail that hits you like an invisible wall. While consumers may tolerate it during a short visit, the nail salon workers find themselves stewing in a toxic bubble for years. On this edition, we take a look at the health impacts of chemical exposure, the shoddy regulation of cosmetics, and the movement towards greener nail salons.</p>

<p><strong>Economic Need Keeps Gulf Coast Residents Supporting Big Oil</strong></p>
<p>With their land, traditions, and livelihood all thrown into chaos, and their future in doubt, you might think that the people of Southern Louisiana would be calling for major changes to the way the oil companies do business, or leading the charge for an overall ban on underwater drilling.  But as correspondent Julia Botero reports, the economic realities are much more complicated, and many of those most closely affected by the devastation of the gulf spill, are in fact, not calling for any change at all.</p>

<p><strong>Hawaii Parents and Students </strong><strong>‘Sit-In’ Against School Furloughs<br />
</strong></p>
<p>In Hawaii this past year, the school year was the shortest in the nation because of furloughs every Friday. But in early April 2010, a group of parents called ‘Save Our Schools’ decided they couldn’t stand idly by … literally. They staged a sit in at Governor Linda Lingle’s office, demanding that she take stronger action to end the off days. Listen to their story among this mix of stories about how teachers, students and parents dealt with the crisis in K-12 education.</p>

<p>The oil industry is dirty business. From the Niger Delta to California,  to the recent gulf coast oil spill, the legacy of contamination and  human rights abuse goes back decades. But some folks are standing up to  big oil.</p>
<p>On this edition, we take a look at how citizen groups around the world  are holding oil businesses accountable, from courtroom battles to  government regulation.</p>

<h3><a href="../2010/12/challenging-chevron-in-nigeria/">Challenging Chevron in Nigeria</a></h3>
<p>In recent years, communities worldwide have protested the presence of big oil. One of the longest-running and bloody oil conflicts in the world is with the Chevron Corporation in Nigeria.

</a></h3>
<p>The Chevron oil refinery in Richmond, California is one of the oldest and largest in the United States. Locals have welcomed the company’s boost to employment – some three thousand jobs &#8211; and sizable tax contributions. But Chevron is also the number one greenhouse gas emitter in California; and has contributed to the degradation of water, soil and air quality in the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the past decade, the city and residents of Richmond, have forced the company to curb its impact.  Making Contact producer Kyung Jin Lee has more about the ongoing efforts to make the company serve the community.</p>
