Today on The Environment Report. The White House has released a new plan - 'Recovery Through Retrofit.' Mark Brush looks at what's in this plan and how homeowners might benefit. And... lessons from a skyscraper. The Willis Tower - aka the Sears Tower - is undergoing more than a name change. There's a major facelift in the works that could cut its energy use by 80%. Shawn Allee took a tour of the tower, and asked what homeowners could learn from the project.
