It's Easy Being Green

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
On today’s show: Kenneth Lonergan and David Rabe compare the challenges of writing for theater and films. We’ll also talk about how you can grow your own rooftop vegetables by starting an urban garden. Then, Zoe Heller on her latest novel. We’ll take a look at an initiative to plant a million trees in New York City and we’ll learn about green-collar job initiatives in the Bronx. Plus, we look at the closure of a South African refugee camp on our latest Underreported segment.

Today is also Leonard's 24th year at WNYC! Happy Anniversary Leonard!
