As evidenced by the recent Global Climate Demonstration and the ongoing protests with Fridays for Future, people are standing up to demand political action that combats climate change. But what does “going green” look like at the local level? What individual habits of a populace make a city “green”? What political strategies are involved? And for that matter, how does one “go green” in Germany? This episode discusses these questions and more, examining green initiatives in both Tübingen and Ann Arbor, MI from the standpoint of city hall, with an interview with Tübingen’s Green mayor, Boris Palmer, and from the point of view of everyday citizens.
Special thanks to the Lord Mayor of Tübingen, Boris Palmer, for inviting us to the Rathaus and taking the time to speak with us!
