Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio—local jobs from making buildings more efficient, plus turning sunshine into dollars through grass and animals.

Commons Energy asks, “What if you could use a third less energy and have more money?” They’re a Vermont-based business that works with building owners to help them save energy while generating financial returns immediately. It’s a model that’s been done on a larger scale, and Commons Energy is working to see how they can scale it down to smaller buildings and organizations. CEO Rebecca Foster will join us. http://commonsenergy.com

The 21st Annual Vermont Grazing and Livestock Conference is this Friday and Saturday at Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee. Humans have been grazing for millennia, but know-how has grown by leaps and bounds in recent decades, including discoveries about incredible life in the soil and new technologies to make farming easier and cheaper. We’ll talk about how grazing knowledge is changing the how animals are raised in Vermont and what changes lie ahead.
