What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Cynthia Mellon We preview the September 21st Climate March when 1000 groups and several hundred thousand people march in New York to underline global concern about climate change in advance of world leaders' meetings at the United Nations. Cynthia Mellon was part of negotiating the lineup of the march and planning the Climate Justice Summit, the "parallel" meetings for civil society during the UN sessions. Her account about organization of the march and summit reveals a lot about participants' commitments to just and innovative responses to climate change. Cynthia is environmental justice organizer for Ironbound Community Corporation, in the New Jersey ward that is home to Newark Airport and incinerates half of Manhattan's garbage, named for its encircling railroad yards.
