'Pulse of the Planet' is an extremely innovative Australian radio show that is produced by David White for Sydney's 2DAY FM and the Austereo Radio Network.
Available exclusively on the Net at Planet Ark, the show was first broadcast on Australian radio on World Environment Day, June 5th, 1998.
Again, for World Environment Day 1999, the United Nations Media Peace Prize Award-winning documentary returns for this century's last look at the state of our Earth's environmental health, and the news is disturbing.
Pulse of the Planet also features special appearances from students of 2DAY FM's Word on the Environment Award-winning school, Wheeler Heights.
