On "Environmental Connections," host Jasmin Singer explores the climate-related topics affecting people in Rochester and beyond.
From the impact of food choices and electrification to the future of rainfall and the choice of whether to have children, "Environmental Connections" discusses what matters — and what should — when it comes to environmental preservation.
It airs the last Friday of the month from noon to 2 p.m. on WXXI-FM 105.9 and WXXI-AM 1370 in Rochester and WEOS 89.5 FM in Geneva.
Environmental Connections also airs at 8:30 p.m. Fridays and 11 a.m. Sundays on WXXI-TV.
The televised version curates the most compelling discussions from the taped, live radio broadcast and mixes in video packages from the field.
You can also watch it on demand here.
