Colorado’s New Climate Roadmap

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27
PROGRAM #10325 12:00 PM PT

Colorado’s New Climate Roadmap. Colorado’s Gov. Jared Polis launched a new greenhouse gas “roadmap” with the goal of reducing industry emissions and improving air quality. How green is the plan?

Guest: Patricia García-Nelson, Colorado Fossil Fuel Just Transition Advocate, GreenLatinos Colorado, Greeley, CO.

Water Drop Hits Farms. A historic farm from the San Luis Valley has stopped growing food as an emergency measure to save the scarce water supply and help their neighbors. What are the farmer’s plans? What’s being done to protect the groundwater? Why are so many wells drying up?

Guest: Dr. Devon Peña, Founding President, The Acequia Institute, San Luis, CO.

Funding Attorneys for Poor People. Colorado lags way behind Western states on state funding for legal aid for low-income people who seek help on evictions, immigration procedures, and other issues. Lawmakers now want to change this dire situation in legal assistance.

Guest: Elisa Overall, Executive Director, Colorado Access to Justice Commission, Denver, CO.
