GLIN==> The Environment Report for 04.28.09

Today on The Environment Report...  

The swine flu outbreak in North America 
has prompted people in many U.S. cities to 
rush out and buy face masks.  Lester takes 
a look at whether a mask is really necessary 
at this point.  

And... going car-free in a society built for 
cars.  Rene Gutel tags along with one woman 
who has ditched her car for her bike... even 
though it makes her social life a whole lot 
more complicated.
