The Milky Way Galaxy; hear about the discover of potentially habitable Earth-like planets in this week’s Environmental News.
Today on the show we took a trip to the archives to hear an always timely look at idling. In the feature, Carol Hunsberger spoke with Lisa Worthington from Natural Resources Canada about ways in which NRCan, municipalities, school kids and volunteers across Canada have been trying to get people to stop idling their vehicles. Lisa talked about the fuel savings and air quality improvements connected with idling reduction, as well as the idea that this ‘easy’ behavioural change can motivate people to take more significant actions in the future.
In the Environmental News, Henry talked about the recent flooding in China, a potential new law in the US to reform the regulation of harmful chemicals, toxic water supplies in China, an expedition to map the territory of the Beaufort Sea, and NASA’s Kepler mission results that suggest millions of potentially habitable planets in our galaxy.
