Mayor Haila

Today's first guest was Ames Mayor John Haila, who discussed results of the city's recent Resident Satisfaction Survey. In that survey, 98 percent of residents ranked their overall satisfaction as either "good" or "very good."

Merry Rankin -- who is in charge of sustainability efforts at both Iowa State University and at the city of Ames -- and Iowa State recycling coordinator Ayodeji Oluwalana were also guests. They discussed a project on campus involving a new use for cardboard.
