KUSP.org
The Land Use Report comes to your radio rather early in the morning, so you may be hearing this news for the first time right here. Don’t worry; stick with KUSP, as I hope you do, and you will hear this news again. Today is the official kick off of the KUSP periodic Pledge Drive. This is the time you can show your support for the great programming you get from KUSP Radio by giving a little something back to this nonprofit effort to bring the best of great music and great information to the Central Coast Region. KUSP is the station that brings you the Land Use Report. I hope you can help out and help support what I think of as a great local resource that helps make this part of California so special.
Now, a couple of tips on land use related items. If you would like to see what one Central Coast local government is doing about water conservation, track down today’s transcript at kusp.org/landuse. You will find a link to a proposed San Luis Obispo County ordinance that requires that water conservation be built in to new land use developments when such new developments are approved.
There is also a link to an article about Gus Speth, former environmental advisor to Presidents Carter and Clinton. Speth is calling for a “post growth” approach to our economy and environment. It’s an article worth reading!
