“EcoMyths” is a new regular Worldview feature that explores commonly held misconceptions about the environment. During the hour, experts address your questions and concerns regarding the earth.  EcoMyths Alliance president Kate Sackman, DePaul University ecologist Dr. Liam Heneghan, and Dr. Andrew Hipp, curator of the Morton Arboretum, join Worldview to take questions and debunk the mysteries of the natural world.
