Bay Area Bountiful: Forests
On this edition of Bay Area Bountiful, we explore the forest. Forests are some of the wildest places in the North Bay region, and a living laboratory for exploring the science of plants, wildlife, and soil health. In this episode we travel up and down the West Coast, through the coast redwood forests, and learn about the history and wisdom of controlled cultural burning from the North Fork Mono tribe.

David Johns: Creating Access for our Kids | Talks at Google
Despite educational progress over the past seven years, including climbing graduation rates and shrinking dropout rates, too many African American students still lack access to the educational resources that offer a fair shot at success. Less than one-third of public high schools serving predominantly African-American students offer calculus. Only about 40 percent of public high schools serving predominantly African-American students offer physics. This lack of access to foundational STEM skills puts African-American students at a significant disadvantage in preparing for advanced STEM courses and careers. During this fireside chat with David Johns, we’ll discuss how we can leverage technology in order to expand access to our children and communities.
David J. Johns is the Executive Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. The Initiative works across federal agencies and with partners and communities nationwide to produce a more effective continuum of education programs for African American students.

Conversation: Dan Kalb on the Future of Climate Legislation
One of the few progressive victories to emerge from this year's elections was the defeat of corporate-supported Proposition 23 in California, which would have rolled back California's first-in-the-nation climate and environmental regulations, claiming that they were hurting the economy. Dan Kalb, California Policy Director of the Union of Concerned Scientists, notes that the coalition that fought Prop 23 was wide and broad, from faith groups to public interest groups to some corporations and even Republican Governor Schwarzenegger.
Kalb joins The Nation on Grit TV via Skype from California to explore the future of climate legislation and how we can push for a green economy with a Republican-controlled House, and to remind us that the majority of Americans want a clean energy future.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
