Earth Day is Monday, April 22nd, and NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS turns to environmental issues for this episode.<\/p>\n
Edward Mazria is an architect who found his passion first in passive solar design and now through his non-profit, non-partisan venture Architecture 2030. Mazria has successfully involved much of the building sector in the United States in his effort to lessen the built environment\u2019s impact on climate change. The goal of Architecture 2030 is to make the building sector a carbon neutral part of the economy by the year 2030. Mazria talks with NMiF producer Matt Grubs about his efforts.<\/p>\n
The Line opinion panel has a different look this week, as journalists, ranchers, and environmentalists converge to talk about how attitudes toward the environment have changed in New Mexico, what\u2019s ahead for the way New Mexicans interact with the environment, and the implications of the deepening drought.<\/p>\n
