Cards-Cats Earth Day Collaboration on the Power of Sustainability Storytelling

On Earth Day, April 22, 2026, UofL's Assistant to the Provost for Sustainability Initiatives and host of Forward Radio's Sustainability Now!, Dr. Justin Mog, was honored to be the inaugural invited speaker at the University of Kentucky’s annual end-of-year student sustainability symposium. UK Sustainability Interns shared the projects they’ve been working on throughout the year; student sustainability awards were presented; and Justin Mog was invited to speak about his experiences with community radio and connect that to his work in driving change for sustainability.

Naturally, Justin took this as an opportunity to make some radio magic, by turning the mic on the audience and conducting a little experiment in the power of storytelling for giving us hope in these dark, scary times. Tune in to hear from these inspiring students and staff engaged in driving change for sustainability at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Listen here.

Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am. Find us at forwardradio.org
