Davisville, Jan. 20, 2025: How to create realistic climate plans

Mon, 01/20/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Charging an electric car at home in Davis.JPG

So — climate change. How do you come up with a plan that actually makes a significant difference, and that people will follow? Maybe even want to follow? For Davis and Yolo County, but really, for any city, any county.

Our guest today, Richard McCann, has some ideas about this. He’s a Davis energy consultant and founding partner of M.Cubed Consulting. On Feb. 9, he’ll talk in Davis about “effective local climate actions” — including why plans at the levels of local government “seem to hit a pause when they need to jump into action.” The reasons include wishful thinking about how people will participate.

(The photo shows an electric car about to get charged in a Davis home.)

Gordie Nodge, a Canadian banjo player/farmer, on Listening Lyrics, Jan. 17, 2025

Fri, 01/17/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_3709.jpeg

Meet Gordie Nodge, a farmer from Saskatchewan who spends part of the winter in Davis. He is an exceptional banjo player with captivating original songs. You can sometimes catch him performing his 5-string banjo at the Davis Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. He’s also an enthusiastic regular at the Music Circle, held every Friday at noon at the Wyatt Pavilion at UC Davis. In this broadcast, Gordie even set some lyrics I wrote to music. Fun fact: Gordie busked at the Davis Farmers Market on Saturday and generously donated all his earnings to KDRT. Thank you, Gordie!
