June 18, 2024: Sustainability is all around

We continue our tour of Mumbet’s Freedom Farm in Sheffield with land stewards Sunder Ashni and Adrian Seneca Bello. We learn about the rich history of the Berkshires and how we can better build our relationship with the land and community.

We head over to Amherst to get a tour of the Hitchcock Center for the Environment to learn about the ecosystem of a living building. We talk to the folx maintaining the center about all the exciting summer happenings and how we can all live sustainably.

Plus, as a special bonus, we talk to NEPM reporter and All Things Considered host Kari Njiiri about the Celtics’ big win.
