Since 2010, local nonprofit Community Rebuilds has worked on building affordable and efficient housing while educating natural builders in the process. As part of a collaboration between the Solutions Journalism Network and Rocky Mountain Community Radio, KZMU highlights this affordable housing solution in Moab. Plus, with reservoirs in the west at record-low levels, many are hoping for a wet winter. But as our radio partners report, even a snowy winter won’t be enough to ease more than two decades of drought.
