On Talk Radio this week, Tim Hermach of the Native Forest Council joins host Chris Andrae to talk about the "greenwashing" of the environmental movement.  Listeners also call in with their comments.

Portland may be a green city, but some of its school children are breathing air more like the polluted skies of Cleveland. A  USA Today study found six of our city's schools in northwest and north/northeast Portland among the worst in the nation for exposing children to airborn toxins. Benzine, a carcinogen found in gasoline, exceeds DEQ safety standards by 26 percent. Frustrated with lack of action by state regulators, parents of children in some of the mot impacted schools are organizing the community.

 Wednesday Morning Talk Radio Guest Host Chris Andreae invites Tim Hermack, President and founder of the Native Forest Council in to KBOO to talk about the Greenwashing of America.

 Host Janna Bananna interviews Ingrid Newkirk President and CoFounder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), talking about PETA's new book, "The PETA Guide to Animal Rights" 

Tom Becker (pictured here) hosts this show dealing with racism, the WTO, anti-tax protests at healthcare reform meetings, and mountain top removal coal mining.   It features music from Woodstock as we approach the 40th anniversary of that historic festival.  

 Movie Moles Frann Michel and Denise Morris discuss the documentary Burning Our Future: Coal in America, a film about fighting mountain-top removal mining in West Virginia.  It will be out soon on DVD from Iron Weed Films.
