12:00: Rochester City Council candidates in the Democratic primary, part 2
1:00: Disconnected from nature; how do we find ourselves?
We continue our series of conversations with candidates running in the Democratic primary for Rochester City Council. We've invited all of the candidates in that race to join us on the talk show to discuss their platforms and priorities and to answer questions from community members. This is part two in our series. In studio:
- Clifford Florence Jr., candidate for Rochester City Council
- LaShunda Leslie-Smith, D.S.W., candidate for Rochester City Council
- Josie McClary, candidate for Rochester City Council
Then in our second hour, shoes have obvious benefits — but how would our thinking change if we walked barefoot in the woods? Lyanda Lynn Haupt is the author of "Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit." She's coming to Rochester as a guest of the Western New York Land Conservancy. We discuss her feelings about the disconnect that many people feel: disconnected from nature, from the planet, from anything other than a screen. And we explore ways to get reconnected, even in small ways. Our guests:
- Lyanda Lynn Haupt, naturalist and author of "Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit," among others
- Marisa Riggi, executive director of Western New York Land Conservancy
