Challenging Communities To Address Climate Change

NASA/Public Domain

In the eyes of people focused on climate change, saving the planet is relatively simple and straightforward: power down, green up, and shout out. 

Those are the main components of the Ashland Climate Challenge, starting November 15th as Climate Week in Ashland concludes. 

Ashland and nearby Talent are developing Clean Energy Action Plans for moving into a world beyond fossil fuels. 

Three guests join us: Marni Koopman, Climate Change Scientist at the Geos Institute, Matt McCrae, Climate and Energy Analyst for the City of Eugene, and Scott Denning, atmospheric scientist from Colorado State University.  

All will be present for the Climate Challenge Kickoff, Sunday, November 15th.
