The First 100 Days

Living on Earth

President-elect Barack Obama has said the environment is going to be one of his top priorities. And with a changed political landscape on Capitol Hill, just how much will he accomplish?
Host Steve Curwood and Washington correspondent Jeff Young talk with three green policy experts – Van Jones, author of “The Green Collar Economy,” Mindy Lubber president of Ceres, and James Gustave Speth, Dean of the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies at Yale – about what President Obama should take on in his first 100 days in office.
