- Climate Desk Editor Molly Enking explains why peat moss isn’t as green as you may think
- Runtime
- 1:08
- Date posted
- 1 year ago
- Description
- Peat bogs are so wet, and contain so little oxygen, that when plants die and fall into the bog, they’re unable to decompose. That means that all the carbon is kept in the wetland, rather than being released as the organic matter breaks down.
But when drained or mined, peat bogs go from being a carbon sink to a carbon source, releasing centuries of carbon into the atmosphere.
In this reel, find out what you can do instead as a home gardener.

- Join us for a conversation with the executive producer and editor-in-chief for Frontline—the PBS program widely admired for its extraordinary investigative journalism. Raney Aronson-Rath will take us behind the scenes of this legacy program, discussing how Frontline topics are chosen, how each program is put together, and the impact of some of its most powerful episodes. We’ll learn about the local journalism initiative behind "Breakdown in Maine,” a Frontline collaboration with Maine Public and the Portland Press Herald. And she'll also talk about her background, her career, and the state of journalism today.
This Maine Calling discussion will be a live, in-person event with an audience at Maine Public's new studio in Portland.
Thank you to ASL interpreter Cid Pollard.

- Meet the American Portland Wednesday Hockey Association of America. League founder Scott Rousseau created the league more than 20 years ago after he tired of playing in adult pick up games that started too late at night. To keep the level of play high, Rousseau invited only skilled players to join... but that doesn't mean they always can agree on a score.
