Without Congress
The Senate has taken a pass on addressing climate change but other plans to cap greenhouse gas emissions are already underway.
Gulf Oil and Gulf Restoration
The road to recovery for the Gulf of Mexico starts with the wetlands. Conservationists and state officials say a long-term, large-scale plan to restore Louisiana’s marshes is the way to heal the damage.
1000 Shows and Counting
Living on Earth rewinds to its first show to mark a milestone in environmental journalism.
Environmental Advocacy Then and Now
When Living on Earth began in the early 1990’s Congress had a more bipartisan approach to environmental issues. Carl Pope, the executive chairman of the Sierra Club, and Fred Krupp, the president of the Environmental Defense Fund, explain how times have changed.
LOE’s Beginnings
Conservationist George Woodwell was an early spur to the creation of Living on Earth. He says science is vital to shaping sound public policy.
Ozone Update
Our very first news story 1,000 programs ago was about atmospheric ozone depletion. Living on Earth looks back at some of the skepticism surrounding the discovery of the ozone hole, and how prompt international action helped the problem.
Science Note/Micro-Ear
Scientists are developing a new device to help them understand bacteria better, by listening to them.
