"We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life-forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of epace. Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations."
– The Earth Charter

CONVERSATIONS, a radio show hosted by Michael Stone, brings you leading edge thinkers in the areas of Environmental Restoration, Social Justice and Spiritual fulfillment. We look for positive solutions to local and global issues that leave you touched, moved and inspired to action. Our weekly guests include local and global experts and concerned citizens working together to heal the wounds that separate, alienate and marginalize people...

We humans are facing the most important choice in the history of humanity: We can choose a positive planetary future that embraces cooperation, mutual respect and a sustainable society or we can continue in the direction we are headed with unexamined global growth which strips the future from our children and threatens all life on earth. We have within us the power to choose this shift, but we must first be informed.

Mainstream media is controlled by a small handful of corporate conglomerates that are primarily interested in producing entertainment and acquiring short-term profits. This keeps us from looking at the deeper impact of our actions on future generations and the quality of life itself. We must balance the 91% conservative, and mostly negative programming of total weekday talk radio with alternatives that bring positive, informed, solution orientated programs which take into account all life.

Conversations promises to move beyond the current fear based reporting by taking into account the wisdom of leading edge thinkers with a global systems perspective of where we are, where we are headed and what we can do to bring about a new order of thinking that is consistent with what the majority of all humans want: Safety and education for their children; food, clothing and shelter for their families; access to clean water, fresh air and affordable healthcare... These are neither conservative nor progressive ideals – these values lie at the heart of what it means to be human.
