We're in the midst of our Fall Member Drive. We're asking our listeners to become members with a donation of any size. Your membership will help us keep the lights on and the environmental news flowing.
We're independent and non-profit, and we don't get money from WESA, WPSU or any other radio station. So we must turn to you, our listeners, for support.
Take action today so we can continue to keep you informed.
Donate today.
Or send us a check to: The Allegheny Front, 67 Bedford Square, Pittsburgh, 15203.
And thanks!
On this week's episode:
We're launching a new series about the Monongahela River. From the mountains of West Virginia, through valleys, into downtown Pittsburgh, the Mon has seen industrial growth and decline, and weathered the pollution that came with it. The Mon and its tributaries are also home to wildlife facing new challenges, like the mussels of Dunkard Creek. Plus, we'll get a lesson on how to pronounce the river's name.
Some electricity customers learned they've been paying hidden costs for power from two coal-fired power plants. Companies looking to build new power plants or factories may be able to start construction before getting required air pollution permits. Sign up for our newsletter! Get our newsletter every Tuesday morning so you'll never miss an environmental story.
