What will our cities look like in a climate changed  future?  Friday morning on KBOO, we’ll look at issues of urban sustainability and urban agriculture, with a focus on the basics of food, water and shelter. We’ll at what’s been done in other cities and here in Portland already, and how transforming our cities will not only free us from the grip of fossil fuels, but increases our personal freedom as well. 

Host Glen Andresen welcomes Steve Cohen to talk about Urban Growth Bounty, a series of late winter and spring gardening classes presented by the City of Portland's Office of Sustainable Development.

Hosts Cecil and Celeste lead a discussion of the increased need for food and shelter for low-income and others affected by the current recession. Guests include a representative from the Oregon Food Bank and Doreen Binder, Executive Director of Transition Projects.

Host Glen Andresen welcomes Candace Stoughton, East Multnomah Soil and Conservation District rain garden specialist,  to discuss the possibility of using edible plants in a rain garden. Candace works on urban conservation issues with a current focus on sustainable stormwater management. She has expertise in low impact development methods that protect streams and rivers from urban stormwater runoff.
