Earth Day Then and Now

We now live in a world where it's cooler to ride your bike than get your drivers license and you risk a dirty look if you're seen carrying  a plastic shopping bag loaded with processed food. WKAR's Brooke Allen asks Kirk Heinze, Host of the Greening of the Great Lakes on MSU Today, how society has evolved environmentally  throughout the years.

Earth Day is much more than removing neighborhood blight and recycling pop cans, it's about improving the environment, reducing pollution and protecting the Great Lakes of Michigan.
