We're in the midst of an environmental crisis, and our current urban lifestyles clash with the natural systems that support our existence, especially when it comes to building our homes. An earth-building collective in Baja called Tequio is taking an age-old approach to construction that may help ease these environmental pressures. In today's episode, we sit with Alex Santander, a Tijuana-based architect to talk about building a future that's in harmony with the planet. Plus, we joined Tequio members Diego Larios and Miguel Angel Perez for a hands-on lesson in earth building. Join us as we explore what it means to build with the planet in mind, using traditional methods to tackle today's challenges.

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, San Diegans will participate in the Screen Your Gut - Save Your Butt 5K Challenge at De Anza Cove, 3000 North Mission Bay Drive, Mission Bay Park, San Diego, CA. The event is to raise awareness about colorectal cancer, the 2nd deadliest form of cancer, and to promote its prevention and early detection through screening. Screen Your Gut - Save Your Butt is sponsored by the California Colorectal Cancer Coalition (C4), a statewide non-profit organization whose mission is to save lives and reduce suffering from colorectal cancer in all Californians. Funds raised from the event will be used to support C4's grants program. This program is designed to increase screening to prevent the development of colorectal cancer and to detect existing cancers early, for better patient outcomes. In 2022, more than 23,000 Californians were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 8,000 Californians died of the disease, according to California Cancer Registry data. What makes this disturbing is that through timely screening, colorectal cancer is mostly preventable or detectable at an early stage, when treatment is most effective. It is recommended that persons of average risk get screened starting at age 45. Regular screening is the key to preventing colorectal cancer. If you are younger than 45 and have a family history of colorectal cancer, or you think you may be at high risk, or if you're older than 75, talk to your doctor about screening options. From Dr. Stony Anderson, past-president of C4: "Colorectal cancer kills more Californians than any cancer other than lung cancer. With screening, most of these deaths can be prevented. For every 50 people screened for colorectal cancer, we will prevent one person from dying from colorectal cancer, but only if people get tested. There are multiple available effective tests. The best test is the one that gets done. Ask your doctor when you should get tested." Date and Time: On Sat, 29 Mar 2025 8 a.m. - Sat, 29 Mar 2025 12 p.m. Venue Details: De Anza Cove Park, 3000 North Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, California, 92109, United States Visit: https://charity.pledgeit.org/C4SanDiego

On November 24, 5-6 p.m. we will be hosting a talk titled “Visualizing Light and Enlightenment Ideology in ‘Glimmer.” This talk will be given by Professor Scott Dale, a professor of Spanish Studies at Marquette University in Milwaukee. The talk is part of Julia San Romans exhibition. The European Enlightenment championed faith in the human spirit, ingenuity and our capacity to reason and overcome adversity. Scientific discoveries in the 18 th -century modernized Western civilization, but it also inspired us to ask questions, inquire, solve complex problems and, more importantly, have faith in our ability to move forward intellectually. Although the Enlightenment was the philosophical sunrise for a new era in social progress over two centuries ago, we still see reiterations of this positivist spirit in various forms in our world today, whether it be in architecture, literature, design, cuisine, fashion or art. In Julia San Román’s series called, “Glimmer,” we find ourselves before a bifurcated, intense, compact and abrupt visual space where Enlightenment energy is revisited once again. In several iterations of “Glimmer” we see that the pictorial plane is divided into two very different languages to underscore the brilliance of the spirit of the Enlightenment. These two juxtaposed visual languages are accentuated to paint us a poignant philosophical contrast all too familiar: the tension between anxious, emotional, melancholic and expressive reality and the more abstract space characterized by clarity, intelligence, reason and optimistic determinism. They are clearly two opposing spaces and forces, and, for San Román, this graphic union in "Glimmer” underscores the beauty, necessity and desire for eternal hope and optimism.
