Suburban Philadelphia Greens (SPG) have a monthly TV program called GREEN FORUM, produced by Elizabeth Fattah and friends. At present it can only be seen in Radnor Township on their cable access channel. We are working to get more cable access channels to show it.
Next meeting: Tentatively scheduled for Thursday, February 14th, from 7 PM to 8:30 PM at Studio 21 in Wayne (a public access TV station), next to the Baptist Church and across from the movie house on Lancaster Avenue.
The following are some of the programs we have aired:
Genetic Engineering
Taped in September, it shows environmental activists demonstrating at the Federal Building

and cons of genetically engineered food.
