Wed. March 19, 7 pm, MVLA High School District Office Board Room, 1299 Bryant Ave., MV
Thur. April 3, 7 pm, the historic Adobe Building, 157 Moffett Blvd., MV

We're on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer

In December, Twana and I were filmed for a segment of The News Hour with Jim Lehrer. We didn't hear anything for months, and then yesterday we were told the segment (on carbon credits) was going to air that evening.

Here's a link to our 15 seconds of national fame.

We're not sure how we were selected to appear. Our best guess is that the program manager for the ClimateSmart carbon offset program at PG&E gave our names to the segment producer.
