GLIN==> The Environment Report for 05.26.09

Today on The Environment Report...

Styrofoam cartons are pretty much everywhere.  Well, that might change soon.
Rebecca Williams talks with one politician who has introduced a ban on these
containers for takeout food.

 

And... we've all heard about food contamination scares the past few years -
like peanut butter and spinach.  Julie Grant looks at whether the FDA - the
agency in charge - is the one that needs a recall.
