Art House

She talks about the inspiration for her songs and her role in encouraging climate advocates. Hear two songs from her new album, “On a High Hill.”
Puzzler
We hear from three listeners who answered last month’s puzzler: “When I think of climate change, it reminds me of when ______.” They dug deep into their past experiences to bring us powerful metaphors to help wrap our minds and hearts around climate change today.
Here’s a new puzzler for this month:
You are chatting with an acquaintance—let’s call him Larry. Somehow you get to talking about windmills and the rapid advances in renewable technology. Larry is sympathetic but bothered by something. He says to you, “Yeah, I understand that these windmills can help to get us off of coal and gas, but they look so ugly! I hate how they are destroying the countryside.” What would you say to Larry? Try to think of something that will open up the conversation and get him to better understand climate change.
