How to reduce your carbon footprint & live sustainably

Guests: ‘Umbra Fisk’ and Julie Hancher

Climate change is one of the most pressing problems facing the globe, and policy-makers are working hard to grapple with its devastating effects that are being felt in communities everywhere, including here in the US. Many people, however, feel powerless in terms of how they can make an impact on reducing CO2 emissions or playing a role in the policy process. Today on Radio Times, we’ll focus on how individuals can reduce their footprint and live more sustainably. Guest host Mary Cummings-Jordan speaks with Grist’s “Ask Umbra” columnist, and JULIE HANCHER, editor of Green Philly Blog.
