Following the news from Dennis Hart, host Pat Schlarbaum interviewed Larry Sloan [Des Moines Register Nature Writer, retired] telling of the first Earth Day in 1970. Then we heard a sample of Pat's signature "phenologies." Our sound collage drawn from past shows dealt with ISU's Leopold Center, founded in 1987 as part of Iowa's Groundwater Protection Act in 1984, and defunded in 2017. The story was told by Ralph Rosenberg, Angie Carter, Fred Kirschenmann, and Aaron Lehman. John Davis, climate analyst from Hamburg, Iowa, described the international teleconference to be held on April 22, 2019, in Stockholm, Sweden.
