Check back here tomorrow at 10am pacific time, when yours truly will be on Brave New Film Foundation’s online talkshow Meet theย Bloggers.ย 

If you haven’t seen Meet the Bloggers before it is a very cool high production-value online show that discusses the hottest issues of the day with top bloggers. This week’s topic is Sustainability versus Big Oil – a subject that is very near and dear to the DeSmogBlogย team.ย 

The show is hosted by Cenk Uygur of Young Turk fame and this week’s special guest is CNBC environmental correspondent Simran Sethi. On the blog panel with me will be Kate Sheppard from Grist and Brad Johnson, Research Associate at the Center for Americanย Progress.ย 

Check back here tomorrow for the live feed. And if you have points you think I should bring up on the issue of Big Oil versus Sustainability, leave a comment below or send me an email at desmogblog [at]ย gmail.com.
