Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - a show tackling a couple of the fortes of special guest host Anne Watson, who teaches physics at Montpelier High School physics teacher, works with her students on innovative energy policies, and serves as mayor of Montpelier. She'll join me to talk adult education and climate change with local guests.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Relocalizing Vermont has given a lot of attention to learning skills like farming and food preparation and homestead management. Central Vermont Adult Basic Education works on basic skills like literacy and numeracy that are important building blocks for developing many other types of skills. Director Carol Shults-Perkins and outreach coordinator Brian Kravitz will tell us who they serve—and the difference basic education can make in people's lives.

The Vermont Climate Change Commission has completed its work, and it says Vermont can mitigate climate change and generate growth and jobs while doing so. VPIRG slammed the Commission as being stacked with industry representatives and Administration officials, and said its report is "just a warmed over recitation of solutions that have been on the table — and we have known we should be pursuing — for years." Peter Walke served as co-chair of the Commission and works as Deputy Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources; he'll walk us through the report's conclusions and respond to critiques. (VPIRG did not respond to invitations to be on the show.)
