EcoReport - September 3, 2009

Bloomington resident Marc Lame is Indiana University’s resident “bug guy”, an entomologist specializing in effective pest management. Lame says all pesticides are toxic, even the organic ones, and the greatest human risk is to our children. Lame says we need a paradigm shift, a fundamental change in behavior rather than relying on chemicals to rid us of uninvited creepy-crawly visitors. 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.
