E -TownE-To1]Vn is a national US radio show which airs , the American

expression for 'to be on the air' - on more than a hundred National

Public radio stations (NPR) each week. It broadcasts musical guests,

interviews with ecology experts, authors, politicians, artists, and others,

ard the E-chievement Award. E-chievement is a combinatron of the

letter E and the word achievement. The E- stands for ecology,

environment, earth, excitement, etc. The award goes to someone

nominated by the listeners.

Past winners include:

. a 14 year old who invented a biodegradable golftee , which

is the small plastic device you put into the earth to balance

the ball on. His invention dissolves into a harmless mulch

that's actually good for the soil.

. a teacher who, with her inner-city students, used commrmity

donated maierials to create a nature sanctuary in the unused

plece ofland next to their school;

. an investment banker who gave up his job to spend a year

volunteering for environmental causes,

E Town's mjx of music and message is lively, inspiring, and fun so ifyour local NPR station transmiis the programme, tune in. Ifit doesnt,
