Another try for Oregon's Climate Bill, and, Logging in Alaska

Conservation Today

First, we talk with Stuart Leibowitz, from the Douglas County Global Warming Coalition, about Oregon's new "Cap and Invest" bill, SB 1530, this year's version of the proposal to limit carbon emissions in Oregon. Stuart will also talk about the rally in Salem in support of this bill on February 11, and how to get there from Roseburg. To join the carpool, call 541-672-9819.
