All eyes are trained on the most populous state in the union as it votes on two separate measures with far-reaching environmental implications. First we’ll explore Prop 19 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_19_(2010)), the ballot measure that would provide for the control and regulation of marijuana – people have heard many of the arguments for legalization, but Sea Change Radio takes a sustainability perspective on the issue and talks with the bill’s sponsor Tom Ammiano (http://www.tomammiano.com/) and NORML (http://norml.org/) Executive Director, Allen St. Pierre (http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=5704). Next, Sea Change Radio host Alex Wise (http://www.cchange.net/about/alex-wise/) speaks with Van Jones (http://vanjones.net/), who has been active in the No on 23 (http://communitiesagainstprop23.com/) campaign. Learn about Prop 23 (http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_23_(2010)) and why so many in California are trying to stop Texas oil from determining the state’s climate future.

Jones is the founder of Green For All (http://www.greenforall.org/), an organization that advocates for green-worker training, in addition to two social justice organizations,  the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights (http://www.ellabakercenter.org/) and Color of Change (http://colorofchange.org/). The author of  the New York Times Bestseller, The Green Collar Economy, Jones served under President Barack Obama as the Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation , and in 2009 was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. Jones is currently a senior fellow at the Center For American Progress, where he leads their Green Opportunity Initiative and is a visiting fellow at Princeton University. Sea Change Radio talks with Jones about helping make the green jobs movement relevant for all people, identifying the problems with the process and his thoughts on the tactics of those working against progress.

(http://www.cchange.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/GreatTurningCover-150x150.jpg) The Great Turning (http://www.thegreatturning.net/).  It's a response to the collapses we're witnessing in our ecological, social, and economic systems.  Despair is one natural reaction to these turns of events.  But hope is another.  Hope that the problems prompt us collectively to identify the dysfunction in our systems, and choose to change how we organize our lives.  David Korten helped crystallize the idea of The Great Turning in his 2006 book (http://www.davidkorten.org/GTbook) by that name.  For an in-depth explanation of the Great Turning, Sea Change Co-Host Bill Baue recently chatted with Korten from his home near Seattle. Korten discussed the genesis of The Great Turning concept, coined by Joanna Macy (http://www.joannamacy.net/) (who we'll hear from in two weeks on Sea Change.)  He credits Riane Eisler's The Chalice and the Blade as the inspiration for the framing of his conceptualization of The Great Turning.  He then cites three modern developments that set the stage for The Great Turning: the founding of the United Nations as a global governance body; the first pictures of Earth from space, which allowed humans to see themselves as one people on one planet with one destiny; and the Internet, which weaves the world in a seamless communications web. Korten also defines the Jungian concept of the "shadow," and how the US must take full responsibility for its national shadow of racism and slavery, Native American genocide, and economic colonialism, among many other things.  He says that we must awaken from our "cultural trance" by stepping into a more mature collective consciousness and telling new stories to shape our culture. The middle break features "The Great Turning," a song written and performed by Lisa and Brett Brumby (http://www.myspace.com/blbrumby).  They're among the growing community of people inspired by the concept.
