August 5, 2010: The End of the Ecofee

This morning on the show we heard from Jonathan Molloy, Political Sciences professor at Carleton University about the end of the ecofee. Robyn Penney spoke with him about the concept of product stewardship, what the end of the fee means for the program, and what the future may hold for the our environmentally sensitive waste, and the ecofee program.

In the Environmental News, Henry talked about Eemian Ice Drilling site in Greenland extracting cores from 2.5 km below the surface, prospects of ancient life on Mars, some gender bending fish in Alberta, the US’ new ocean policy, as well as some controversial drilling in Nunavut’s Lancaster Sound.
