It speaks to the general public on how to conserve natural resources, protect the environment/human health (i.e. reducing pollution and global warming), and help cut fuel costs. The focus is on reducing consumption of fossil fuels via conservation, energy-efficiency and the use of local, cleaner energy alternatives
like local agriculture, solar, wind, and biodiesel. <br> <div class="envelope" style="float: none;" align="left"> </div> <br> In addition to giving practical suggestions on how to reduce energy bills, we will highlight individual success stories and local community resources by interviewing guests on our show.<br> <br> The program will be broadcast on local community radio stations: like the Spanish-language Tertulia program of WFCR-- 88.5 FM news and music for Western New England; WMUA at the University of Massachusetts; WXOJ, Low Power FM in Northampton and other community radio stations in Western Massachusetts.
