TreeHugger Radio: Singing Textiles, Talking Plants, and the Deathly Hallows

This week we speak with artist Alyce Santoro about her creation of a special fabric made from recycled audio tape. A musical collage based on the fabric also provides our soundtrack. We also take a look at an artistic experiment that lets houseplants phone their owners and make demands. Research non-profit Environmental Working Group sheds some light on things we probably don’t know about our sunscreen, and TreeHugger Lloyd Alter comments on the greenwashing of Harry Potter number seven.
