Copper and steel were pivotal to the industrial revolution. But these days, it’s clear that continued reliance on these substances as our key building materials has devastating environmental implications, including habitat destruction from open-pit mining, water toxification from acid mine drainage, and air pollution from sulfur dioxide emissions. Fortunately there’s an emerging array of cutting-edge materials that hold promise for eco-conscious developers. A company named DexMat has developed a material called Galvorn, which is fantastical stuff right out of Spider-Man. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Bryan Guido Hassin, the CEO of the Houston-based DexMat, to learn more about Galvorn. Hassin explains how Galvorn is made, what makes it different from conventional materials, and the many exciting potential applications of this futuristic stuff that could get your radioactive blood pumping.

For decades, Republicans have been echoing the same mantra, that “government is not the solution, it’s the problem.” And for the most part, when the GOP is in power, this aphorism sadly rings all too true. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Ann E. Carlson, an environmental law professor and former head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about her new book, Smog and Sunshine: The Surprising Story of How Los Angeles Cleaned Up Its Air. We discuss the sound governmental policies and practices that allowed Los Angelenos to breathe easy again, talk about how private industry lacks sufficient motivation to tackle climate change, and get a glimpse into how today’s law students regard government service.

Janelle Orsi authored the book Practicing Law in the Sharing Economy, published by the American Bar Association. Next, she co-founded the Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC), which facilitates the growth of sustainable and localized economies. She spoke to Kellia Ramares-Watson in 2014 about the creation of Sharing Law as a category, the growth of community law as a field of practice, and the uses of this new legal field- for instance for establishing worker-owned businesses and housing cooperatives. She also names the US states that allow people to become lawyers through apprenticeships. The US and Australia are leaders in this movement, as are many women. The SELC has expanded its reach in many ways. Update to 2026 by Frieda Werden. Website for more info: http://www.theselc.org/

The forecast is: record-breaking heat, wildfires in the West, and extreme rainfall mayhem across the world. Maybe the strongest El Nino in 150 years. Following breaking climate news, we explore a return to mass famine - including real hunger in the UK and America. Food riots in the next few years are possible. Aled Jones. Cambridge: UK food riots past and future. American scientist Joshua Elliot warns risk of American food shock. Will the monsoons that feed a billion people fail? Gayatri Kathayat reports from India.

The ruling class doesn’t want working people to understand history because if they did, workers would understand who they are and understand their power as the makers of the world. Workers are god, to put it bluntly. When taken together, they are the engine of civilization without which kings and capitalists would be powerless. Parasites can only hold onto power by lulling the true god of humanity into slumber and that slumber is always fitful. When workers do wake up, as in 1917 in Russia, the world quakes. Revolutionary victories by the people prove that a god can live without fleas.

Imagine this for a moment. You live in a home that has been in your family for generations. A home built with your parents’ hands, filled with your children’s laughter, rooted in the soil where your memories grow. You plant flowers in the front yard. You tend to an olive tree in the back. You raise your family with the quiet dignity that comes from belonging to a place that belongs to you. Now imagine a stranger arrives. Someone with no connection to your land, no history in your neighborhood, no roots in your soil. They enter your home, and instead of leaving, they take it. They claim it. They move you and your family into a small corner of the basement. They control your water. Your electricity. Your movement. Your ability to live freely in the very house your ancestors built. And then imagine this: While you and your family remain confined to that basement corner, the stranger receives support, resources, and protection from powerful allies around the world. You, the original homeowner, are left with restrictions, surveillance, and the constant fear of losing even the little space you have left. Now ask yourself: Would you feel anger? Would you feel fear? Would you feel the instinct to protect your family, to reclaim your home, to stand up for your dignity? And if you tried to free yourself — if you tried to reclaim the life that was taken from you — how would the world describe your actions? Would they call it resistance? Would they call it survival? Or would they label it something else entirely? These are not abstract questions. They are questions about humanity, justice, and the right to live freely in the place you call home. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it. This is This Week in Palestine.
