David Allan, acting dean of the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment, appears tomorrow (Wednesday, April 22) as a guest on the radio program "Issues of the Environment" to discuss the school's new sustainability outreach program.

The program is scheduled to air from 8:10-8:30 a.m. EDT on WEMU-FM (89.1), a National Public Radio affiliate. The show coincides with the national observation of Earth Day. (Listen to a recording of the program ...)

Program host David Fair interviewed Dean Allan about the Teaching and Inspiring Environmental Stewardship (TIES) program, which SNRE formally launched April 1. TIES is a community-focused environmental education program to help educators, their students and the general public better understand sustainability and the benefits of building green.
