Traveling To Beijing To Discuss Eugene's Emissions

Eugene city leaders demonstrated on several occasions a commitment to lessening carbon emissions. 

Their reward was a trip to one of the worst-emitting cities on the planet: Beijing. 

Mayor Kitty Piercy recently returned from a low-carbon cities summit in China's capital, one of just a handful of American cities represented, all of them much bigger than Eugene.  The mayor joins us to talk about the intentions and results of the Beijing gathering.
