154 [S3E01]: Carrie Albright, Chair, Bloomington Environmental Commission
Our first guest of the new year and the third season of The 812 is Carrie Albright, chair of the Bloomington Environmental Commission, one of the city's oldest. She talks about the work they do advocating for the city to balance urban growth with environmental preservation. They address everything from water quality and biodiversity to newer challenges like light pollution. And we talk about the popular annual Eco-Heroes art contest that they oversee.
Our website is new and improving! It's undergone a slight revamp -- our Contact Us form finally works now! -- and we've started a new series of pages on our website called Collections, in which we put together a bunch of previous episodes that have a common theme. Our first collection brings together the interviews we did in 2024 with all nine Bloomington city councilmembers. There's no better introduction to the current city council than through our website. All that's fodder for our new weekly newsletter, along with previews of upcoming shows and whatever else we can manage to get in there. If you're a fan of the show, drop us your email and we'll keep you up to date.
