GLIN==> The Environment Report for 04.20.09

Today on The Environment Report...  

A new report from three government agencies 
finds the government's not doing such 
a great job of keeping our food safe.  
Kyle Norris takes a look at what the 
agencies say needs to happen.  

And... dozens of invaders have gotten 
a slimy toehold in the U.S. by hitchhiking 
on foreign cargo ships.  Lester talks with 
author Jeff Alexander about his new book, 
Pandora's Locks.  In it, he describes the 
utter failure of the government to do 
anything effective to stop the invasive 
species.
