Relocalizing VT: Recycling, Wood Heat Q&A

Past event
Dec 5, 2019, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday morning on Goddard College Community Radio: A chance to ask questions of recycling experts and of a wood heating expert. Plus—it's fundraising week at the station, a great time to donate. www.WGDR.org

9:00 - 10:00 am
Vermont has banned food scraps from the landfill starting next year—what do we do with them then? And how is recycling going after the Chinese demand for materials collapsed? Questions like this will be part of a presentation at the Capital City Grange on Saturday at 5 pm (followed by a potluck and a contra dance) by staff from Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District. We'll get a preview from Cassandra Hemenway and Theron Lay-Sleeper.

With our early-onset winter, wood heat may seem more attractive than ever—and more opportunities and incentives than ever are available. Emma Hanson, Wood Energy Coordinator for the state, will talk about heating with cord wood, pellets, and chips, and how it affects forests.
