Environmental Roundtable: Boston's boom in green transportation, climate change and activism
Description
This week on Under the Radar with Callie Crossley:
You’ve probably heard about the recent federal report estimating up to a foot of sea level rise by 2050, creating dangerous coastal flooding. Too much doom and gloom? Well, there’s a cohort of young activists using social media to inspire climate action. Plus, green transportation gets a boost in Massachusetts, with three free bus lanes in Boston and millions of dollars funding electric vehicle charging stations around the state.
Those stories and more on our environmental roundtable.
