I feel like I’m coordinating a NASA mission. How many 10,11, and 12 year old kids can I motivate to get on a spaceship and go to the moon?
Really, I’m hoping to get a whole bunch of 10, 11, and 12-year olds to speak up and make life better for pigs, cows, and chickens! Is this crazy? Yes.
A little bit crazy…but possible! Let’s be crazy and show the world that kids can make a difference! I’m still working to get all the details in place. But this is a VERY specefic mission. YOU will change the lives of millions of farm animals in the state of Ohio! To get ready, check out Ohioans for Humane Farms!
Think about the pigs, cows and chickens that are waiting for relief. We can do this. Start thinking about everyone you know that cares. Next week, you will have your Mission details. Let’s go, Gaia Girls!

Gaia Girls makes the ranks with such luminary books as “The Lorax,” by Dr. Seuss!!!
Check out the Moss’ Green Chidren’s Books List of Top 15 Children’s Books on Climate Change
It’s an author’s dream to be included with Dr. Seuss!

Tonight is your BEST chance to see the full moon in its clearest form! The moon will be 14% wider and 30% brighter than normal! Why?
The moon is “at perigree.” This means the moon is at its closest point to the Earth. And this month “perigree” happens to coincide with the Full Moon!
Native Americans called it the “Wolf Moon” because the deep snows and fridgid temperatures of January had the wolves howling with hunger outside native villages. Other January full moon names are: Old Moon, Ice Moon, and Moon After Yule.
The best time to view this Bright Moon is when the moon is rising over the horizon tonight! Be sure to go outside at Moonrise and see this once-a-year spectacular! And be sure to tune in for Radio Gaia’s January Bright Moon episode tomorrow!

I am soooo excited to share this 2-month Gaia Mission with you! I cannot give you the details yet, but you are going to LOVE it. This is an “earth” mission (Mission #2 will be a “water” mission!) It will take 2 Full Moons to complete.
If you choose to take on this mission, you’ll have a chance to win some pretty cool Gaia-Prizes from our sponsors. ONE person will receive the first ever, Gaia Hero-Earth, Award!
This is big! This is huge! I know you care about Gaia and all the creatures we share her with. This is a chance to show the world that kids can make a difference! Listen to Radio Gaia THIS Saturday at 4pm (Eastern Standard Time) As always, the show can be listened to anytime afterward by clicking this link.

Hi All,
I had something great lined up for this evening. However, in my role a city councilman (and soon-to-be deputy mayor!) I was called into a meeting this evening. I’m very sorry and will reschedule the Solstice Surprise soon.
