She\u2019s best known for creating programming featuring environmental and climate-focused interviews in the \u201890s. Over the years Rosenberg has hosted several radio Internet and video programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her current series CODE GREEN can be found on her YouTube channel: <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/youtube.com<\/a> @betsyrosenberginterviews. Her notable green-themed media career began with her signature \u201cTrashTalk\u201d segments on KCBS Radio in San Francisco nearly three decades ago. In 2004, Betsy launched \u201cEcoTalk\u201dthe nation\u2019s first syndicated daily \u201cgreen\u201d talk show. It was broadcast on the Air America Radio network until 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Betsy launched \u201cThe Green Front\u201d featuring an interview format on VoiceAmerica.com and the Progressive Radio Network America after 2009. The successful interview format has led to Betsy conducting thousands of interviews with leading experts, politicians, activists, scientists, and innovators tackling the biggest environmental challenges of our time on all shades of green topics with a focus on amplifying solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Betsy is also a public speaker on environmental issues. She is outspoken about the lack of mainstream media news coverage on climate change. She is among the first trainees in Al Gore\u2019s Climate Realty Project in early 2007. She has also contributed chapters to three books, including Climate Abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And her pitch for Code Green:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For nearly 3 decades I\u2019ve been been interviewing leading activists, innovators, and experts across all shades of green topics. After surpassing 5,000 interviews I considered hanging up my mic to write a book about this challenging journey as an environmental journalist&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;sustainability advocate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few key events occurred that changed my mind: I became a grandmother, Trump was re-elected and wasted no time before pulling US out of the Paris Accords\u2014again\u2014and turning the EPA into the Environmental Plundering Agency. What followed was a series of continuing misguided rollbacks, and seeing L.A. on fire in the wake of a trip to Antarctica where glaciers were in meltdown\u2014there was too much dissonance to not speak up and face all these destructive impacts head on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are living in surreal times where daily life may still feel normal but the backdrop tells another story. News about growing climate instability and ecological breakdown is being silenced by the influence of special interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the climate and other pressing environmental changes have for too long been marginalized by the public, politicians and press, we find ourselves in a new era where up is down, black is white, and none of it is green enough! Trust in traditional news media is lower than ever, thanks to well-funded DISinformation campaigns\u2014especially on the climate front. This comes at a time when greater public understanding of our planetary pickle is critically important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being environmentally aware can feel like living between two realities. In one the sky IS falling as atmospheric levels rise and each new day brings more disturbing signals from nature. In the other, life rolls merrily along as if tomorrow will be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it&nbsp;<em>won\u2019t<\/em>&nbsp;stay the same. Destructive weather is intensifying, birds and bees are vanishing, and jet streams that regulate climate and life on earth are faltering. Too many of our so-called leaders remain missing in action\u2014beholden to fossil fuel and chemical industry donors, afraid to tell hard truths, or simply unwilling to lead. Even worse, all the reversal of environmental and health protections are undoing decades of hard fought progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mainstream news outlets have failed in their duty to properly inform the public and only rarely address broader ecological collapse. If this silence continues scientists warn the consequences will arrive faster\u2014and more furiously than most can imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, there is some hope. Recent research shows that 37 million Americans (about 11%) want to help avoid climate collapse but don\u2019t know how they can make a positive difference. This is a tipping point too important to miss and CODE GREEN\u2019s mission is to reach, inform, inspire, and mobilize them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s where independent green media comes in, and despite its potential to play a crucial role in turning the eco-tide, we are swimming upstream. But after 28 years on this self-appointed and self-funded beat, I know too much to walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having interviewed thousands of \u201csolutionaries,\u201d I\u2019ve seen the brilliance, courage and creativity already forging a path forward. CODE GREEN is my next \u2014 and perhaps last\u2014media production.
