Carbon Day, Proterra Bus Co and other thoughts for tomorrow

We've enjoyed covering and promoting Carbon Day each year, and we are happy to tell you what is going on for this year's event in Boston.  Also, we'll be talking about it on air tomorrow. Tune in at WARL 1320 AM, live, 1-2p, EST.

We will also be interviewing Mike Hennessy from Proterra Bus Co as we talk about their amazing shift to electric buses (beautiful buses, by the way).  We'll follow tonight with a second post on Mike and his company.
