Julie Daniels is the Executive Director of B.R.I.N.G. 

From the bringrecycling.org website:  BRING is one of the oldest non-profit resource conservation organizations in the nation. Founded in 1971 to introduce our community to recycling, BRING now focuses on a broader issue: the relationship between wasteful consumption and climate change.  We provide the inspiration, education, and opportunity to reduce waste and live more sustainably. 

Julie spoke with us about Greenwashing. The practice of overstating the 'greenness' of companies, products or services.

Atiq Zabinski of Occupy Brooklyn TV, and the original OWS Media team. He spoke about OWS' libel suit against the NY Post. We also discussed the new Occupy Media network. We have pulled together the hosts of most, if not all, of the Occupy TV, radio, and internet programs across the nation. Now we're conecting our shows, sharing programming and creating a network.
