In celebration of Earth Month, Whole Foods Market, the world's leading natural and organic foods supermarket, today announced that six fresh-faced, eco-conscious personalities were chosen from hundreds of entries to host its new video podcast series "Whole Earth Generation™," which is dedicated to raising environmental awareness among today's youth.

The online search led to casting:

* Erin, 16, of San Francisco, with a video glimpse of her morning routine as a "green girl".
* Burt, 14, of Highland Park, Ill., where he acts as the "host" of a recycling themed game show.
* Lil Peppi,9, of Miami a young talent with an inspiring rap calling us to protect the earth.
* India, 7, of New York, charmed the judges with a vow to turn junkyards in Manhattan into green gardens.
* Michael, 16, of Dallas, a natural eco-enthusiast who was extremely motivated by the eco-documentary "Inconvenient Truth".
* Angela, 10, of Wheeling, Ill., created homemade re-useable shopping bags she crafted as an alternative to plastic.

Additionally to celebrate Earth Month, Whole Foods Market announces it is on track with its pledge to end the use of disposable plastic grocery bags at the checkout counters by Earth Day, April 22, 2008 at its more than 270 stores.
