Welcome to PLANET ERSTWILD! We've got another great show planned for you today.

First up, we have the honor of speaking with Jeffrey Hollender, founder of Seventh Generations, a Greenpeace board member, and founder of the American Sustainable Business Council which consists of over 150,000 businesses across the country. Jeffrey, Paul Tarnoff and Troy van Beek of Ideal Energy, all attended an all day session at the White House where they met with 29 administration officials.

At 3pm, it's another chat with extraordinary singer/artist Barbara Morillo talking about her new acapella project and much more.

At 4pm, it's our regular feature "Inside the Headlines" with Newsvandal JP Sottile. Why are people ignoring JImmy Carter's searing critique of America? Tune in and find out. For a list of all referenced headlines, please click the "Read more" tab below.
