Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - a tracker identifies the animals key to ecosystem health, and Efficiency Vermont expands the services it provides to Vermonters.

9:00 - 10:00 am
With habitat loss now identified as the main threat to wildlife survival, Vermont writer Susan Morse is aiming to reverse the trend by creating a grassroots guide to habitat conservation. "Land where a bobcat or an otter can live is also land that supports countless other species, while helping keep local water sources clean, soils intact, the air pure, carbon sequestered and all life forms in balance," she says. "Unfortunately, people often don't realize how much the loss of even a relatively small piece of land can degrade an area's biodiversity and ecological health." She'll talk about her work to educate on the importance of habitat for key species.

Abby White at Efficiency Vermont will give us an update on the efficiency utility's expanding mission, how efficiency is one of the energy sources the state can rely on in the future, and new services to home owners the utility can provide.

10:00 - 10:30 am
Resilience Thoughts, a locally told Extempo story, plus upcoming events related to energy, food, and the local economy at the end of the age of oil.
