On August 17, 2020, the Trump administration opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's 1.5 million-acre Coastal Plain to oil and gas lease sales, possibly by December. This decision, amidst an oil glut and climate change concerns, targets the last 5% of America's previously protected Arctic Coastal Plain. It threatens to transform these wild lands into an industrial complex, jeopardizing the Gwich'in Nation's food security, spiritual, and cultural heritage—they call it "the sacred place where life begins." This move also endangers polar bears, the Porcupine Caribou herd, and migratory birds, marking a critical environmental and social justice conflict.

A video features Gwich'in community members from the 2016 Gwich'in Gathering, testifying against this development.

Dow Chemical, known for products like Dursban, Napalm, and Agent Orange, is now entering the food business. The company seeks government approval for genetically engineered (GE) corn and soybeans designed to withstand repeated dousing with 2,4-D, a component of Agent Orange. This raises significant concerns about trusting Dow Chemical with our food supply.

British ocean rower and environmental campaigner Roz Savage discusses plastic pollution, labeling it a "man-made global catastrophe." Her solo row from San Francisco to Hawaii provided first-hand experience with the problem's immense scale, including meeting scientists on a "Junk craft" hundreds of miles east of Hawaii to share research.

The core message is clear: we must reduce our plastic use. Each individual can significantly lessen their consumption, making a positive global difference.

After teaching Geoscience, Marine Science, and Environmental Horticulture, Matt became concerned about modern agriculture's impact on ocean health. This led him to reconnect with his old Peace Corps friend, Nathan.

In 1999, Matt and Bobbie Brown met Nathan McFall in Togo, West Africa, where they collaborated with local communities on environmental education, soil conservation, and animal husbandry. You can learn more about Nathan's work here.

In summer 2010, the Brown family moved to Milwaukie, Oregon. There, they partnered with Nathan to establish the non-profit Food|Waves. Matt was interviewed by EarthSayers.tv in July 2011.
