Past event
Mar 1, 2018, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - Why small towns and small companies are the face of future economic development, and a discussion of the pros and cons of putting a price on carbon pollution.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Ed McMahon will be discussing the power of place in his talk “Where Am I? The power of uniqueness.” It’s Wednesday, March 7 at 7 pm at the Unitarian Church in Montpelier. McMahon holds a chair in sustainable development at the Urban Land Institute. He’ll give a preview of his talk.

A bill to study a carbon pollution tax for Vermont passed out of committee and could be voted on this week in the House. Tom Hughes of Energy Independent Vermont will tell us why his organization supports the bill, and Bill Moore of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce will explain why his organization opposes putting a price on carbon pollution, and what sort of energy future the Chamber would like for Vermont.
