Former WCCO news anchor and climate advocate Don Shelby recently gave Climate Cast a tour of his Excelsior home.

From 80-foot wells, to a secret passageway leading to a state-of-the-art geothermal system, to a stone statue signifying the people most at risk from climate change, Shelby built a home meant to inspire others to act.

“If you aren’t doing something positive, you are part of the problem that everyone is seeking to solve,” he told host Paul Huttner.
