Saving The Forests
Co-host Daphne Wysham talks with Steve Homer, Communications Coordinator for Unified Forest Defense Campaign. Steve's organization is seeking to stop a bill currently moving through Congress that would eliminate environmental safeguards on the management of U.S. forests. The Bill is HR 4200, a.k.a. the Walden Logging Bill. Steve urges concerned citizens to call their legislators immediately to stop the bill. Call 202-225-3121 for more information.
Also, Daphne interviews Liz Butler of Forest Ethics, the Canadian group responsible for pressuring Victoria's Secret into using recycled paper.
Finally, following U.S. Interior Secretary Gale Norton's resignation last week, Daphne hosts Jeff Ruch, Exec. Director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). PEER supports public employees on the local, state and national levels who have clashed with their politically appointed leadership.
