Relocalizing VT: Hitchhiking and Wood Heat

Past event
Nov 14, 2019, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - the innovative Hitching Post program expands outside of Montpelier, and Vermont is expanding its advanced wood heating program while trying to make sure it's truly renewable.

9:00 - 10:00 am
In July, a program called The Hitching Post set up formalized hitchhiking/ride sharing between cafés in Worcester and Montpelier. Now they are expanding to Putnamville, Northfield, Red Hen Bakery in Middlesex, and Hunger Mountain Co-op. Program founder Phoenix Mitchell discusses their success so far and why they're expanding.

Andrew Perchlik of the Vermont Clean Energy Development Fund discusses the state's advanced wood heating program, recently recognized in a report from the Clean Energy States Alliance, and how it can provide sustainably harvested renewable energy for heating.
