Each year the Bioneers conference brings an amazing wealth of information about sustainable living to people in Bloomington and beyond. This week our guest is local resident Steve Akers, who has worked for years to organize the local Bioneers events, focused on grassroots efforts to inform public policy on the so-called "three Es" - economics, social equity, and the environment. EcoReport is a weekly program providing independent media coverage of environmental and ecological issues with a focus on local, state and regional people, issues, and events in order to foster open discussion of human relationships with nature and the Earth and to encourage you to take personal responsibility for the world in which we live. Each program features timely eco-related headline news, a feature interview or event recording, and a calendar of events of interest to the environmentally conscious.
