The Lunchbox Interviews: John MacIntyre (Deep Freeze Winter 2015) & Sahil Chiani (Falls Brook Centre)

One of the hottest debated topics these days involves the question: when does weather become climate?

We’ve seen a lot of extreme weather happenings in recent years, all over the world but especially right at home. People are not only starting to pay attention, but there is a resurgence of interest in trying to work with the world, trying to live in a harmonious and sustainable way.

My guests today reflect this question, from observation of from action. My first guest is John MacIntyre, the author of the new book Deep Freeze: Winter 2015. This book chronicles the extraordinary winter we experienced at the beginning of this year, including many anecdotes and photos from all over the Maritimes.

My second guest is Sahil Chiani of the Falls Brook Centre, an organization dedicated to helping educate and encourage people about sustainable agriculture, inner peace and renewable energy, among many other things. The Falls Brook Centre recently opened up a new satellite office at The Ville, and are currently building their resources on their own land in West Glassville..

Music today:

I agree with T Thomason from their album Columbus Field: Silence Don’t Scare Me (except a little bit).
To celebrate the memories of winter past, we heard Icestorm from Free To Grow‘s self-titled release.
And a reminder to check out the Timeraiser this weekend — as well as reconsider what you do, we heard Alana Yorke‘s song Time Revisited from her album Dream Magic.
