Next New England

This week on NEXT: months after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, we check-in on life on the island. Plus, we look at conservation projects around New England, including a debate between “green” and “grey” infrastructure on Plum Island, Massachusetts. We visit a forest in Vermont that is helping to meet greenhouse gas goals in California and review a debate about whether or not to turn an old stone quarry into a massive reservoir in Connecticut. We hear about a proposed development in Central Vermont and the four small towns that banded together to stop it. Finally, we discuss how the trade war between the U.S. and China is affecting Maine’s lobster industry, and speak with two cousins who are bringing the Maine lobster bake around the country. It’s NEXT. (more…)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
