This week: Callie Crossley and Under the Radar:
Earth Day is just around the corner. According to the U.N.’s latest climate change report, we are far from putting Mother Earth first. Michelle Wu, the Boston mayor, has approved 20 all-electric school buses. A new bill from the state Senate would guarantee a whole fleet electric MBTA buses. Heat pumps are being praised by environmentalists! They’re a more efficient and cleaner way to heat and cool your house, and can reduce your dependence on Russian gas or propane.
It’s our environment roundtable!
