About EcoTalk

EcoTalk on San Francisco’s KCBS 740 AM
Now in its ninth year on the airwaves, EcoTalk is an award-winning
series of one-minute vignettes that focus on all aspects of a greener
lifestyle. This first-of-its-kind feature offers the latest on emerging
eco-trends with an emphasis on everyday tips for resource conservation,
energy efficiency, responsible consumption and waste reduction.
Veteran broadcast journalist Betsy Rosenberg’s compelling sound-bytes
connect the dots for listeners and make the case that environmental
protection is in the best interest of consumers, communities, and
corporations.


EcoTalk on Air America Radio

Betsy Rosenberg also hosts an hour-long interview format edition of
EcoTalk on Air America Radio, the fastest growing network in radio
history. It’s the only nationally syndicated environmental program on
commercial radio today. Through conversations with today’s leading
environmental experts, authors, business leaders, and advocates – as
well as ordinary folks who are making an extraordinary environmental
difference – Rosenberg explores both persistent and emerging
environmental  challenges and solutions long before the mainstream
media are paying attention.
