Prerequisites

KQED Forum, April 14, 2008: Steven Goldberg and E.J. Dionne
The 2008 Goldman Environmental Prize
What do a pop star from Mozambique, a Belgian conservationist and a Puerto Rican grandmother have in common? They are among this year's recipients of the Goldman Environmental Prize, a $150,000 award presented in San Francisco to six environmental advocates around the world. We talk with several of this year's winners.
Host: Michael Krasny
