“Resilient.”
We hear that word a lot when we talk about the effects of climate change - and what to do about them.
Residents in Tennessee and Georgia are now participating in a pilot program called “Resilient Communities” - steered by Thrive Regional Partnership and the Open Space Institute.
Among the communities in the program: South Chattanooga, Dalton, Spring City and South Pittsburg.
I spoke with Rhett Bentley and John Bilderback with Thrive - and Joel Houser with the Open Space Institute.
