The Power of Ecology and Firefighter Zen

Super Smart Sundays on Express Yourself!™ Teen Radio brought to you as an outreach project of Be the Star You Are!®’s Operation Disaster Relief with donations from Cynthia Brian and StarStyle® Productions, LLC. More info at https://www.bethestaryouare.org/copy-of-operation-hurricane-disaste


Katelyn Darrow and Andrea Smith address climate change, Coviid-19, and the ecology effects of what’s happening in our world. Katelyn shares that a positive result of Covid-19 has been that nature is beginning to heal itself. Firefighter, storyteller, and author Hersch Wilson talks about how to stay safe during these horrendous fires and other disasters in the USA. His book Firefighter Zen tackles the value of life. Life is short, grab it, and live for today. He advises rising above the calamities to find joy in daily living because everyone suffers. Learn to be brave, asking oneself “what is the bravest thing we can do?” Hersch encourages us to stop the negative self-talk about failing. His mantra is to help people through the confusion and suffering. It is in service to others that we find fulfillment and inner peace.


Andrea, a competitive swimmer and water baby, talks about how climate change is altering patterns of weather and water around the world, causing shortages and droughts in some areas and floods in others. Saving our oceans must be a priority.

Both hosts advocate reducing our carbon footprint and nurturing Mother Nature.
