M Channel Grows Its Green Programs in 2023

Posted on by

2023 has been a flourishing year.

Our many M Channel projects, ventures and co-ventures have thrived and from our terrestrial home in Clearwater, Florida, we have continued creating green-blue waves across our home planet.

M Channel’s green best practices are turning visions into reality.

Our key green projects and programs, such as GreenPolicy360, Strategic Demands, Climate & Environmental Law Global, are reporting metrics reaching & engaging millions of viewers monthly. We are continuing to pioneer online sharing with MediaWiki platform, database, and online media partners.

Looking forward, we realize that 2024 is shaping up to be a very challenging year, in a world of myriad conflicts.

We can promise as we have often said to our GreenLinks friends, associates, educators and activists  — “All of us and each of us can all make a positive difference by stepping up & doing our best.”

Remember, Earth Day Is Every Day and… Every Day Is Earth Day

Onward!

Message to Planet Citizens, Planet Scientists

“Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring.”
— Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Here comes 2022! Ready for more action here on Planet Earth?

We are remembering Carl Sagan’s warning that we face grave existential challenges as we ‘mess with Spaceship Earth’s life support systems’

And we are inspired by visions of Earthrise … and our common humanity on our living planet Earth, looking up to the stars and dreaming. We have a long, long way to go …..

Now it’s ‘Big Picture’ time and let us join to tip our hats to the Hubble telescope with its amazing discoveries over the years and now, hopefully, we will be witnessing the launch of eye-opening, expanding universe explorations of the James Webb telescope !

 

Beginning of an Era: Space & Earth Science

Posted on by

For those in the US old enough to remember the early days of network television, TV stars on kids shows played a special role in inspiring dreams. The beginning of the “Apollo Era” and the race to go into space was accompanied by educational science TV and, fortunately, the beginning of “hands on” experiments and visionary teachers. Looking back, we especially remember Don Herbert, “Mr. Wizard”, who inspired a generation of young dreamers who went on to create and engineer the programs of ‘deep space’ and ‘earth science’, a legacy that continues in today’s pioneering, critically vital earth monitoring from space. We continue to track these historic missions…

Special thanks to Don Herbert and to all the the science educators who opened eyes of a generation and lit a torch of enlightened science at work.

Bill Nye: “Don Herbert’s techniques and performances helped create the United States’ first generation of homegrown rocket scientists just in time to respond to Sputnik. He sent us to the moon. He changed the world.”

(M Channel’s founder, as a young book editor in NY, edited Don’s science books.)
