Ecotopia - it's your local link to a global network of folks who know and care about the health of our planet. Ecotopia explores ecosystems: environmental, social, technological, looking for solutions to some of earth's current problems such as global warming, overpopulation, social justice, fossil fuels, and water, land, and air pollution. We interview internationally renown activists and authors such as Bill McKibben and Paul Ehrlich as well as people active in improving quality of life in our region. A sampling of recent topics includes endangered species, environmental education, soil and water preservation, art and activism, and climate change. Our programs are archived at ecotopiakzfr.com
