We're going to preview a very different CT NOFA OrganiCONN Winter Conference as the event we normally cover in person for an entire show goes virtual. We'll chat with the conference coordinator about how you can get the most from this online experience without getting your hands dirty.

Then we're returning to the subject of wind power and its potential for providing critical climate benefits, economic development, jobs, and more. So stick around as we talk it up with representatives from Eversource Energy and Ørsted Offshore North America who will be developing offshore wind farms right off the Connecticut coastline.

And we'll wrap introducing yet another boutique Connecticut nonprofit that started as a grassroots movement to help connect young apply STEM education to doing good with the founder of Random Hacks of Kindness Junior.

Today we continue our deeper dive showcasing how local agencies and human service programs are maintaining, surviving, and continuing to serve in a COVID-19 world.

We'll let you know how Eversource is keeping utility services operational, how you can save a few bucks even if you're using more energy these days, and how the utility is helping keep critical nonprofits operational during this health emergency.

Then we'll check in and see how everyone is doing at the Beardsley Zoo - while learning how zoo staffers are supporting your kids education through a ton of virtual learning programs.

And we'll find out how the Bridgeport Rescue Mission is maintaining its mission to feed and protect families already living on the edge facing domestic violence, poverty, and hunger. 

This Independence Day weekend, we're paying tribute to all the folks who grow the good food we eat, who are taking steps to grow their own, or maintain their properties with organic standards in mind. 
So we're playing an encore presentation from our annual pilgrimage to the Northeast Organic Farming Association's Organiconn conference - which was held earlier this year at Wesleyan University. 
We caught up with NOFA's director, the event's keynote speaker, as well as a number of other guests promoting organic practices and programs that are enhancing our state's environment and public health, while engaging our youngest citizens to participate and enjoy the fruits and veggies they can raise and eat from their own personal, school, or community garden.
