Dr. Jill Vecchio shares her “gardening’ story and her newfound love of raising and preserving food. Vecchio highlights an intriguing approach towards sustainable living by suggesting that consumers can cultivate their own produce using seeds from store-bought items, such as cantaloupe, or even the ends of green onions. This practice not only fosters a deeper connection with one’s food but also encourages a shift away from reliance on commercially bought produce towards more self-sufficient and local sources. Additionally, it’s worth noting that some governments are taking controversial steps by considering bans on the sale of seeds for produce in retail environments. This move seems aimed at nudging consumers back towards purchasing store-bought goods, a strategy that could significantly impact consumer choice and sustainability efforts.

Interview with Kevin Lundberg
Former state senator and author of The Lundberg Report Kevin Lundberg addresses the consequences of Congressman Ken Buck’s announcement to not seek re-election and subsequent decision not to complete his term. Lundberg Buck also brings to light several legislative proposals, including HB 24-1375, which aims to establish the role of “native carnivore coexistence officers” within the wildlife department, enhancing efforts to manage interactions between humans and indigenous predators. Additionally, HB 24-1380 seeks to broaden the scope of what constitutes unfair or deceptive trade practices within the framework of the “Colorado Consumer Protection Act,” potentially offering greater safeguards for consumers. Meanwhile, HB 24-1363 is set to empower local school districts with the authority to close charter schools, a move that could significantly impact the educational landscape. On another front, Lundberg is gearing up to introduce a novel categorization system in the Lundberg Report. This system is designed to group bills by common themes, thereby streamlining the analysis and understanding of legislative trends and alignments. Listen to the full interview in the first hour.
