  • They Didn't Fix It. they Just Made it Someone Else's Problem

    They Didn't Fix It. they Just Made it Someone Else's Problem
    Jul 24 2026
    Over the past couple of weeks, in more than a dozen states, people were being told not to breathe the outdoor air due to wildfire smoke. It traces back to a decision made decades ago, one that stripped away the exact thing that would have kept the fires down.That's one price. There's always a second one, and most of us never see it coming until it's already ours to pay.This week, I'm walking through a pattern I keep finding everywhere: in forests, farm fields, our healthcare system, even across the road from my own certified organic farm. I'll take you back to 1996, to a small Massachusetts town and a newspaper headline that changed everything. And fast forward to right now, to a Vermont Facebook group of 16,000 people who found out what was coming, fought back, and won a significant victory.Grab my free guide, 10 Words on Your Food Labels That Are Lying to You: https://www.greenlivingnow.com/food-l...In this episode:What a common weed killer has to do with your drinking waterThe real story behind the wildfire smoke reaching your stateWhy parts of Lake Champlain in Vermont keep closing to swimmersHow two communities, decades apart, changed the rules when nobody else wouldA 1986 law you've probably never heard of, still shaping how companies handle harm#GreenLivingNow #NontoxicLiving #HolisticHealth #SustainableFarming #EnvironmentalHealthMostMost of us are trying to do right by our health — but the food system, the labels, and the "expert" advice keep moving the goalposts.

  • Why Your Electric Bill Went Up the Data Center Nobody Voted For

    Why Your Electric Bill Went Up the Data Center Nobody Voted For
    Jul 17 2026
    Your electric bill went up this year, but you didn't do anything differently.Somewhere near you, a really large building went up, and you likely never got a real say in whether it belonged there.This week I'm talking with Mitch Jones from Food and Water Watch, a 20-year veteran of climate, energy, and water policy work, about what's actually driving up your power bill, what's happening to water and land in communities where these facilities are being built, and the early health signals researchers are just starting to document.We also get into the greenwashing claims the industry wants you to believe, what "bringing your own power" really means, and exactly what you can do if one of these projects is proposed near you, because communities are stopping them, and you can be part of that.Get the Food and Water Watch "Stop a Data Center" toolkit: foodandwaterwatch.org: https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/202...Grab my free guide, "10 Words on Your Food Labels That Are Lying to You": https://www.greenlivingnow.com/food-l...Get more like this in my newsletter, Notes from the Green Rebellion: https://www.greenlivingnow.com/2f1bd82c0:00 — Intro: why your electric bill actually went up1:56 — Mitch's origin story: the fracking ban he's not supposed to admit he wrote2:39 — The one issue everyone's fighting over, and why it's not the real story3:05 — 60 miles away, and his bill still went up.

  • The Sherlock Holmes of Medicine Solving Cases Everyone Else Gave Up On

    The Sherlock Holmes of Medicine Solving Cases Everyone Else Gave Up On
    Jul 12 2026
    He's spent 50 years treating the cases other doctors gave up on, and one of his earliest patients was an 8-year-old girl who was about to be put on antipsychotics for something no one could explain.It started with a detail her mother almost dismissed: her daughter took baths with a "mermaid." At eight years old, you assume that's just imagination. It wasn't.In this conversation, Dr. Jess Armine, a former paramedic, ER nurse, and 50-year healthcare provider turned chiropractor, walks through how he traced that little girl's symptoms back to something almost nobody was looking for, and how a young woman having 25 seizures a month got her life back using the same approach.We also get into why your multivitamin might not be doing what you think it's doing, the real hierarchy of supplement absorption, and the comprehensive gut-health protocol steps Dr. Armine says you can't go wrong doing, whether or not you've ever been formally diagnosed with anything.Grab my free guide, "10 Words on Your Food Labels That Are Lying to You", link below.
