On today's show...

We're kicking off our week of science coverage with an hour of sustainability stories from around the state.

Houdek is a start-up company that makes the food behind your food. Their soybean meal for shrimp is trying to make shrimp farming more sustainable and affordable.

Mark Luecke joined In the Moment last February to talk about the research that goes into making a seafood appetizer better for you and the planet.

We'll also check in on a Lake Preston facility that will be unlike any other in the world. Gevo Inc. is building a Net-Zero 1 facility to produce sustainable aviation fuel. We got a project overview from Gevo's general manager and site leader.

We revisit a conversation with Allegra LeGrande, a climate scientist from NASA. She joined the show to break down the annual assessment of global temperatures from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Plus, we'll replay some of our Earth Day conversations from last month. Josh Bauman from the City of Brookings discussed the Urban Forest Initiative and how it's helping keep the city green for its third year in a row.

And we talked with Travis Entenman from the Friends of the Big Sioux River about cleaning up and protecting South Dakota's waters.
