Going Green on the Agenda

by Stacey Dunseath Friday September 18, 2009
Over the course of our four seasons, The Agenda has often debated the importance and the practicality of going green. From transit, to energy, to cities, to our economy, we've looked at various efforts to convert our society to a more environmentally-friendly existence. In connection with tonight's program on whether green cars are for real or just smoke, fellow producer Daniel Kitts and I thought we'd share with you some of the recent programs we've produced on the issue of "going green". Enjoy.
