gardening, the environment, green living and a lot of humor

Lisa Albrecht and Mike talk to activist Tom Frank about last week's community meeting on Chicago's southeast side, where angry residents confronted the IEPA about petcoke piles along the Calumet River. Mike previews Illumination, Tree Lights at the Morton Arboretum, which opens this week, and where his caroling group The Frozen Robins will be singing throughout the holiday season. State Senator Heather Steans, Anne Comeau, Hanh Pham and Killian Walsh discuss how the Edgewater Environmental Sustainability Project is making that Chicago neighborhood greener. Jody Osmund from Cedar Valley Sustainable Farm and Wes King of the Illinois Stewardship Alliance talk about how they are trying to introduce CSAs to a wider audience.
