  • Episode 27: How Attorneys Can Prevent Land Theft with Casey Kennedy
    2021/02/08
    Hey, it’s been a minute. Our last podcast came out at the beginning of January and here we are in the 2nd week of February. This past month has been wild in terms of US politics, and I also needed some hibernation time for myself. But I’m crazy excited to introduce you to Casey Kennedy, an attorney specializing in title search and heirs property resolution. Casey is the founder of Hogan Land & Title, a premier real estate title abstracting and genealogy services company, and the Principal Attorney for The Law Offices of Casey E. Kennedy, LLC. Casey is an alumnus of Duquesne University School of Law and graduated cum laude with a concentration in Energy & Environmental Law. She is passionate about solving heirs property issues in Appalachia and protecting land ownership in rural communities throughout the south. Before practicing law in West Virginia and South Carolina, Casey was an offshore fisherman in Kachemak Bay, Alaska and a specialized surface and subsurface title researcher. When she is not working she can be found spending quality time with her adorable toddler, husband, 47 house plants, and two dogs. She’s a muralist, avid gardener and enjoys cycling and hiking. It’s been a privilege to get to know Casey, and I’m excited she was able to come on The Eco-Interviews to share her story of working in the energy industry to transitioning to business ownership with the mission of helping people and the planet.

  • Episode 26: Pinehurst Farmers Market with April Jones
    2021/01/04
    Happy New Year Eco-Interviews listeners! To kick off 2021, I’m sharing a quick interview with April Jones, founder of the Pinehurst Farmers Market in Columbia, SC. With two grocery stores closing in her Pinehurst neighborhood, April and her neighbors were facing what’s known as a food desert or food apartheid situation. April was inspired by legendary farmer Leah Penniman of Soul Fire Farm to be the change she was looking for in her Pinehurst Community. At a conference April attended, Penniman said: “If you are looking for someone to save you, no one is coming. You will have to save yourself.” Those words were a call to action for April to create a solution to the issue of food access in the Pinehurst neighborhood. The vision was created to form a self-reliant, self-sustainable plan of action that would create healthy, organic food options for the community that would support the local economy and give residents access to food sovereignty. Two years later and with COVID-19 changing the way we all interact with each other in day-to-day life, April has created the Pinehurst Community Action non-profit, which accepts donations that are then turned into COVID solidarity boxes full of fresh, locally and regeneratively grown fruits and vegetables. April really is trailblazing here with her neighborhood, creating the community, mutual aid, and food systems that move people from surviving to thriving. This is SO important as we’ve seen presumed stable systems collapse during the pandemic. The United States is facing some of the highest infection and death rates from COVID, and this is compounded by a hunger crisis, economic crisis, and the systemic racism that is baked into our institutions. April really is living up to Leah Penniman’s words by creating something to save herself and her community. If you are local to Columbia, South Carolina, I encourage you to visit the farmers market on Wednesday afternoons, or contribute to Pinehurst Community Action. For those further afield, seek out similar community action in your area, or be the one to start something! In 2021, let’s create the world we want now and for future generations. It will take all of us working together to ensure our own health, wealth, and happiness. Get the full interview transcript + video at https://eco-interviews.com.

  • Episode 25: Building a Climate Resilient Mozambique with Carmen Munhequete
    2020/12/08
    I’m excited to introduce you to Carmen Munhequete in this week’s episode. Carmen currently works as a principal consultant at ERM (Environment Resource Management) based in Maputo, Mozambique. She is an experienced professional, with more than 17 years working in development across the mining-, agricultural-, environment and climate change-, and humanitarian relief sectors. What an opportunity to speak with someone doing amazing work from the other side of the world. It’s unfortunate that we do not hear more, or know more, about what’s going on in Africa so connecting with Carmen in Mozambique was a real treat. It’s worth keeping in mind that developing countries like Mozambique suffer the brunt of climate change disasters even while their population are the lowest contributors to the causes of accelerated global warming. For example, while the richest 10 percent of people produce half of the planet’s individual-consumption-based fossil fuel emissions, the poorest 50 percent — about 3.5 billion people — contribute only 10 percent.⁠ How is a developing country like Mozambique helping its people face multiple crises like poverty, violence, lack of infrastructure, and climate change? Carmen is working on the frontlines to tackle these issues, and she shares her story with us today.
