Episode 05: Scarcity, part 1
We're tackling scarcity on the next two episodes, specifically as it relates to water in the western U.S.
Everything from shortsighted alfalfa farmers to the Lockean proviso to floating icebergs to England, there's really something for everyone here. And no, we aren't gonna remind you to turn off the water while brushing your teeth.
First, Alex and Simona outline some philosophical frameworks for understanding the issues and solutions with water scarcity.
Then we chat with John Berggren, a regional policy manager with Western Resource Advocates, about all things Colorado River.
