It's the iconic waterway of Maryland and Virginia. But the Chesapeake Bay's watershed extends across state lines, reaching into six states. And decisions made in distant communities-- particularly farming practices in places like Pennsylvania and West Virginia-- have profound effects downstream. We learn how commercial farming affects the Cheseapeake, and look at government efforts to address agricultural pollution.

We explore how the increasingly global beverage industry is affecting local consumers.
