Tales Of Environmental Activism

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep with tales of environmental activism. The Rhode Island Tree Council wants volunteers tomorrow in Roger Williams State Park; 1,202 people can set a record for hugging trees - actual tree huggers. Their work is easier than that of Christopher Swain. The clean water advocate swam in New York's most polluted canal.
