Why It’s Important To Have Regulation For Toxics And What We Need To Do
My guest today is Bryan McGannon. He is Policy Director for the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC) and leads the Washington office for the organization. We’ll be talking about why the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) needs to be reformed and what is currently being done to reform it. Bryan brings a broad background in issue advocacy and political campaigns to his post at ASBC. Bryan has over a decade of experience in Washington, D.C. in advocacy roles addressing business and environmental issues. Outside of Washington, he was State Director in Ohio for the Alliance for Climate Protection’s Repower America campaign, and served on former Vice President Al Gore’s initiative to pass comprehensive climate and energy legislation. Bryan’s political campaign experience spans presidential campaigns, congressional races, and local ballot initiatives. In addition, Bryan holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego. www.asbcouncil.org

Organic Seasoning Blends That Give 100% Of Profits To Artists With Disabilities
Today my guest is Debb Masterson, founder of Minnesota Nice Spice. She makes organic seasoning blends that really pop with flavor! (I’ve tried some of them) And all the profits go to helping a local organization that empowers adults with disabilities through art. Debb is a self-proclaimed spice gypsy, naturalist, and world traveler, From a young age, Debb’s affinity for creating deliciously unique recipes was evident. She learned French culinary techniques from her grandmother and became a master of substitution and experimentation when faced with limited ingredients. A diverse career path that included working in restaurants, owning a neighborhood bar and grill, and selling medical devices and beverages, supported Debb’s love of food and also sparked an interest in the healing arts, which led to Debb’s strong belief in the healing properties of everyday herbs and spices. As a risk-taker with a true entrepreneurial spirit, it’s no surprise that Debb’s current venture combines all her life and work experiences, including her love for world travel. Debb has traveled to dozens of countries seeking out native spices and global healing products and has channeled her unique experiences into each of her Minnesota Nice Spice Seasoning Blends. www.mnnicespice.com
