White House Threatens To Eliminate Funding for Public Media

Group of rural Kansas nuns take action for the environment

Sister Barbara McCracken shares more about her participation as a climate activist with a group of 80 nuns living in a monastery outside Kansas City.

Set among an area of peaceful farmland, the Benedictine sisters of Mount St. Scholastica have taken on major corporations — calling on them to do everything from measuring pesticides to respecting the rights of Indigenous people.

At 85 years of age, Sister Barbara is still as involved as ever when it comes to the environment and human rights.

Chris is the co-host of “This Green Earth”, a weekly radio show covering environmental news and issues. Broadcast on KPCW, the NPR affiliate for Park City. He also sits on the boards of Recycle Utah and Summit Community Power Works.
Claire is the producer and co-host of This Green Earth and a volunteer DJ on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
