Green pacts and greenbacks
Description
Environmental protection laws have spawned a whole new form of business: firms that specialize in handling ecological regulatory issues for industry. To what extent are environmental standards achieving the goal of purifying America's air, land, and water? And to what extent are those selfsame standards contributing to the growth of a market geared toward simply meeting the legal minimums in order to avoid penalties? In this program, Betsy Taylor, executive director of the Center for a New American Dream, and environmentalists Dr. Calvin DeWitt and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., explore the business behind doing business the Earth-friendly way.
