The Land Use Edition What happens when private rights conflict with the public interest? The debate over eminent domain takes us to the Richmond waterfront, where the city, the parks district and a land-owner battle over some prime property. Also, we drop in on a public forum to see why California voters will take on eminent domain reform... again.
The Inside Edition A look at the new science of Bio-Monitoring, and the story of a local Bay Area family that was given a "Body Burden" test to determine the level of industrial chemicals present in their bodies.
The Clean Air Edition The growing bio diesel movement in the Bay Area, one teacher's quest to bring eco-technology to the masses and breathing .... as art.
The Cosmetic Beauty Edition An investigation into how your beauty regime may be affecting your health. Also, a tour through another type of beauty: the largest meeting of Orchid cultivators in the country.
The Clean Energy Edition A look straight into the sun at the potential for solar energy to power a million homes and businesses in California. The Buzz Underground about the current energy crisis, and consideration of how to reduce energy costs across your own home front. And a tour of a unique art gallery... at the San Francisco dump.
The Environmental Justice Edition San Francisco's district attorney cracks down on "brown collar" crime, the recycling industry struggles to keep up with American consumption, girls who have never been on boats take a six-week scientific tour of the Caribbean and an artist at the San Francisco dump finds hidden beauties in piles of garbage.
