Guests:

Urvashi Rangan, director of technical policy for the Consumers Union and project director of Consumer Reports for GreenerChoices.org

Jacquie Ottman, author and consultant to the Fortune 500 and U.S. government on green marketing issues

Jim Kohm, director of the Federal Trade Commission Division of Enforcement

Martin Wolf, product director in research and development for Seventh Generation
