POTSDAM -- North Country Matters host Donna Seymour talks with Ginger Storey-Welch, a leader of the local North Country 350 Alliance on the newest edition of the local video news magazine.

They discuss local climate change education efforts, how the military is responding to the real threats of climate change, and the conundrum between the reality of climate change and the denial practiced by government leaders.

They also look at the Prop 3 on the NYS Ballot to create an infrastructure land bank in the Adirondack Park. And they talk about several regional climate and energy conferences, including renewable energy, electric vehicles, micro grids, and municipal commitments to clean energy locally.
