A new weekly show with commentary and stories about environmental health - the things in our food, air, water, consumer products and other places that can impact our health - with hosts Patti and Doug Wood.

Green Street News is produced by Grassroots Environmental Education, an award-winning non-profit organization focused on emerging environmental issues including fracking, plastic pollution, PFAS, wireless radiation and endocrine disrupting chemicals along with more traditional environmental issues. Patti is a Visiting Scholar at Adelphi University on Long Island, and Doug is a veteran of the music and advertising industries. With original music (by Doug) and tight production, Green Street News is a great weekly catch-up on the latest environmental health issues and solutions.
