EcoRadio KC
EcoRadio KC is a magazine show, including live segments, prerecorded stories, and interviews. The weekly explores our interdependence with the rest of the world, showing the connections between the ways we choose to live and the health of the whole community of life.
On May 31st, 2021, host Brent Ragsdale speaks with Tom Jacobs, Environmental Program Director with the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), along with Hillary Thomas, Councilmember Ward 1 of Mission KS and Damien Boley, Mayor of Smithville MO. Tom Jacobs will lay out the KC Climate Action plan and then Hillary and Damien will explain how each of their communities will implement the plan.
MARC is a nonprofit association of city and county governments and the metropolitan planning organization for the bistate Kansas City region. MARC serves nine counties and 119 cities. MARC provides a forum for the region to work together to advance social, economic and environmental progress through leadership, planning and action.
All three of our guests are leaders with Climate Action KC, a compact of elected officials and community leaders that works throughout the Kansas City region to draw down greenhouse gases, improve climate resilience, invigorate the economy, promote public health and improve the collective quality of life.
The Kansas City Regional Climate Action Plan (CAP) aims to transform the metropolitan area into a more resilient, equitable and healthy community. An ambitious set of interrelated strategies will help to mitigate climate change by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and adapt to and bounce forward from the many risks climate change poses.
