Sea Change Radio – What a terrific show! I’ve listened for quite a long time but haven’t gotten around to telling you so. Thanks for so much!
I can’t remember the name of the shrimp farm in Maine (I think). I like shrimp, but quit eating it due to depressing harvesting and environmental concerns. That show gave me hope! Who are they?
Also, Ubiquitous Energy + Tiny Houses On Wheels = Nearly Off The Grid. What a terrific idea!
