Airing The Week Of: June 22, 2003
The Council records environmental segments
to be included as part of WXPN's morning news updates. Because
these interviews are conducted through an informal arrangement
between the Council and WXPN, there may not always be a
segment for each given week. Be sure to check the Council's
"WXPN radio interview" box on our front page to
find out what the topic is going to be for the upcoming
week. The segment, generally airs between 7 am and 9 am
Thursdays or Fridays, but the specific timing is ultimately
up to programmers at WXPN.
WXPN (88.5 FM) broadcasts to the
Greater Philadelphia area. You can find out more about the
station and listen online by jumping to its WEBSITE.
Below, you can find a list of environmental
segment topics the Council has covered in past WXPN interviews,
along with any related news that has occurred since their
airing. For more information about any of these topics please

Pennsylvania
may finally get its own version of NEPA thanks to a
bill (HB 2799) introduced by State Rep. Charles McIlhinney
(R- Bucks Cty.). The lack of a state-mandated environmental
review process before offering up state forest lands
for drilling was what caused a public outcry against
the DCNR. |
