Sheep + Solar, A Love Story

We all know that a key part of addressing climate change involves getting off fossil fuels. But renewable energies, such as solar energy, are not without costs. One key cost? It uses a lot of land.

And they are not at all sheepish about the role of one very adorable four legged animal. Featuring How to Save a Planet.   SUPPORT Outside/In is made possible with listener support.
