Conservationists uneasy with lithium mining plan near Moab

The public only has a few more days to weigh in on a proposed lithium mining project near Moab. Lithium helps make electric vehicle batteries, which could help fight climate change. But as our partners at KUER report, there are environmental concerns about the mining itself. Plus, Saturday marks the historic anniversary of the 19th amendment which solidified the right of some women to vote. And later, our radio partners profile new research on goatheads and how PE instructors in our region are learning Native American games to teach in their gym classes.
