Doppler Effect, June 23rd

Aresh Javadi, the Executive Director of More Gardens!, came in to talk to us about a hearing that was taking place in City Hall. On top of this, we spoke about what a community garden is, and their history.

June 23rd

It was a good conversation. Coming into the interview I had a rudimentary idea about what a community garden was, but these seem like neat additions to any community. This might also be the last interview in the "environmental" theme that we have had on the show recently. While it was not explicitly stated, the last couple of shows have focused on different green grassroot organizations in NYC.

The Doppler Effect, June 16th

Hello,

This weeks Doppler Effect was about the Green Map System, which shows different sustainable areas that locals of an area can edit and create. We had Mrs. Wendy Brawer, the executive director, come in and talk about it.

Doppler Effect, June 16

I thought that the interview came out great, the different ways that one could contribute and create maps is interesting, and the program itself is a lot more subtle powerful than I thought.
