Earth Week?

44 years ago, April 22 marked the first official, "Earth Day." (It got started here in the U.S. but soon spread across the globe.) 

Now some Virginia environmentalists are among those who believe a whole, "Earth Week," is in order.

We consider that possibility... as well as look for the latest news on how the Earth is doing.

Guests:
Patrice Ludwig, Ph.D.
- Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, James Madison University.

Karen McGlathery, Ph.D. - Lead, Principle Investigator - Virginia Coast Reserve Long-Term Ecological Research Project.  Professor, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia.

G. Carleton Ray, Ph.D. - Research Professor, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia.

Tom Graham was Senior Producer and host of WMRA's Virginia Insight from 2006 to 2015.
