Coming up Thursday on Central Vermont Community Radio: The Covid-19 national public health emergency is officially ending, and next week is Park Your Carbon week.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Thursday is the end of the US national public health emergency that was declared in response to the Covid-19 pandemic—but the virus hasn't gotten the message. It's still on track to be one of the US top 10 causes of deaths in 2023, and right now it's killing more people in this country than traffic crashes. Dartmouth public health researcher and educator Anne Sosin will talk about how to build a society that is more resilient to ongoing and future viral threats—and she says changes need to be much broader than just in our health care system. (She wrote about this in April in The Nation.)

Next week is Park Your Carbon Week in Vermont, formerly known as bike-or-walk-to-work week or something similar. Now the idea is to use your muscle power or public transportation to get around, or to work from home, and to let other people know you're doing that. Dan Currier serves as Public Transit Coordinator and Go Vermont Coordinator at Vermont's Agency of Transportation, and he'll talk about tricks of carpooling, taking public transportation, and muscle-powered transportation that you may not know about.
