Show Notes
Denver will end this year well short of where it needs to be to meet an ambitious goal of going carbon-neutral by 2040. We look at why the city is so far behind, and we ask the mayor if Denver can get back on track. Then, at Colorado ski resorts, Mother Nature is getting lots of help from snow-makers this year. Is this the future of skiing? Plus, a visit to a high school shop class where students are tackling real world problems.
