Vermont Maple Farmers Make National Headlines

As many of you may recall, last year, VPIRG teamed up with Burr Morse of the Morse Family Farm in Montpelier to have Burr testify in the State Legislature about how global warming was threatening his livelihood and the strong Vermont tradition of maple sugaring. Well, Burr's story helped convince legislators last year and his story is now hitting the national news airwaves.

Last night on NBC Nightly News, Burr and his family were featured in a news segment on global warming to the devastating impact it's having on Vermont's family farms. Cheers to Burr for continuing to tell his story and put a human face on the impacts of global warming.
