Podcasts about living downstream

On today's show, we'll hear an encore of a show from our archives that first aired in April. We'll be looking at the environmental impact of the rail industry and hear from people in two communities currently impacted by rail-related contamination. In February, a Suffolk Northern train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, and residents are still recovering from the disaster over two months later. Residents like Jami Wallace and community organizations are fighting for relief. In Houston's Fifth Ward, residents have been living with the dire health effects of carcinogenic creosote used to treat railroad ties decades ago. Health officials have found cancer clusters in the neighborhood, where many have been devastated by the loss of friends, neighbors and loved ones. We'll hear a story from Living Downstream about the impacts to this close-knit community, where residents and organizers like Sandra Edwards continue to advocate for accountability and justice.  Like this program?

Today, we're bringing you an episode of a new podcast from Northern California Public Media called Living Downstream. The podcast looks at environmental justice issues around the world, and a couple episodes take place right here in California. Last week, we brought you an episode about air pollution in West Oakland. This time, we're going to the biggest lake in California, which is now starved of water. We hear how it impacts the health of the people who live around it. We begin with Adriana Torres, who lives in a rural community there, an area called North Shore. We'll also hear from her classmate Rosa Gonzalez.

West Oakland residents breathe and suffer from pollution caused by toxic diesel exhaust. In part two of this story reporter Sarah Holtz takes us into the issue with community organizer Margaret Gordon, and the Director of Clean Air Advocacy, Will Barret.

For decades, community members and allies have complained about the diesel truck traffic around the Port of Oakland. People who live in this neighborhood have elevated instances of asthma, and shorter life spans, than others in the county.

Patrick Maddenhosted this Monday's episode of Louisiana Considered. Gulf States Newsroom reporter Bobbi-Jeanne Misickreports on the 10-6 lifers, inmates and former inmates who were promised they'd only spend 10 years and six months in prison for their crimes if they exhibited good behavior. But as laws regarding minimum sentencing changed, their sentences were revised to life in prison with no chance of parole. In a story originally produced for NPR's “Living Downstream” podcast, Gulf States Newsroom reporter Shalina Chatlanireports from Iberia Parish, where Black farmers are seeing their leases and land disappear. They say racist policies are to blame. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes, it feels like scientific research is too fundamental or incremental to see its effects on humans. But, PhD student Kavi Chintam argues that that needs to change! Using her chemical engineering research and passion for environmental justice as an example, Kavi shares inspirational advice on how to find the humanity in science. If you want to learn more about the topics discussed in this episode, check out: Clean and White: A History of Environmental Racism in the United States by Carl Zimring (book)Living Downstream by NPR (podcast)The History of Environmental Justice in Five Minutes (news article)The Fifth Season by N.K.

The brilliant health researcher, cancer survivor, bestselling author of Living Downstream, and the most articulate advocate for a toxic-free environment since Rachel Carson, describes her health battles, motherhood and activism. She shows the environmental links to many cancers (including hers) that the medical establishment refuses to look at. She focuses on the effects even tiny amounts of chemicals can have on the fetus and small children, and challenges our collective failure to address our global ecological unraveling or control toxic chemicals. She has faith that an environmental human rights movement will emerge to usher in a far more conscious era. This talk was given at the 2008 Bioneers Annual Conference and is part of the Everywoman's Leadership, Vol. 1 and Ecological Medicine, Vol. 1 Collections. Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
