EcoReport - August 26, 2010

The Indiana Department of Transportation will conduct a public hearing today regarding the recently released Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Section 4 of the I-69 corridor. I-69 Section 4 begins at U.S. 231 near the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center and runs northeast to State Road 37 just south of Bloomington. Among all the reasons given to fight I-69, its environmental impact is perhaps the most serious. We sit down with two staunch opponents of the superhighway: Tom Tokarski, founder of Citizens for Appropriate Rural Roads, and city council member Andy Ruff. 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.
