Imagine KC explores how to live sustainably

Tune in to KCPT on July 12 to learn more about sustainable lifestyles

The 11th episode of the Imagine KC series, co-produced by KCPT and Mid-America Regional Council, will air Thursday, July 12, at 7:30 p.m. The episode examines the ways our lifestyles can reflect a more sustainable approach to living in ways that are more vibrant, connected and green.

Segments will feature a look at efforts to reduce the amount of waste going into the region’s landfills, biking as a way to reduce one’s impact on air quality and the environment , and how one Kansas City, Kan., neighborhood is working to enable more active lifestyles for children in the inner city neighborhoods of Rosedale and Argentine.

Imagine KC presents a comprehensive view of our changing region and the opportunities that lie ahead to create a more sustainable future. Episodes educate the public about specific issues, policy options and how communities are meeting challenges; envision positive changes in our region; and engage the community in ongoing projects and decision making.
