GLIN==> The Environment Report for 06.02.09

Today on The Environment Report...

An insider's look at the beginnings of a new public relations campaign for a
widely-used chemical.  BPA, or bisphenol-A, is used in everything from
drinking water bottles to the coatings inside metal cans. But health
concerns have led several large retailers to pull products with BPA off
their shelves.  Food-packaging executives and lobbyists for the makers of
the chemical met in Washington DC last week to come up with new PR
strategies.  Their overall message is: BPA is safe.  Lester Graham reports
on the meeting and the notes that someone leaked to reporters.
