Agricultural lands that could grow food are now being used to produce biofuels — to feed our cars, instead of people. We’re told biofuels are more sustainable than fossil fuels. But are they really? Join us this Thursday at 9 a.m. for The Choice is Yours as we dig into it — how bio-fuels are made, what they’re made from, and their true impacts on land use and carbon emissions. We’ll also explore next-generation biofuels — those made from waste materials and algae, and even homemade biofuel solutions. The Choice is Yours — Thursday at 9 a.m., live on KMUD! (And available on your favorite podcast app a few days later)
This concludes the Community Safety and Awareness Report, read weekdays at 11 and 3pm and as needed to bring you up to the minute road reports, burn permission status, emergency updates as well as programming information. We encourage our listeners to bookmark our community resources and calendar page for up to date and detailed information of all the services our community offers.
