Podcasts about Not Safe

Ocean Conservancy's "Not Safe for Wash" campaign is built around a simple premise: the fix for washing machine microfiber pollution already exists, so the fight isn't about inventing new technology, it's about forcing a nearly two-decade-old idea into law. Its own May 2026 poll of 1,010 Americans found concern about microplastics up 32% since 2023, nearly 9 in 10 people concerned, and 81% in favor of requiring filters on new washing machines. The public isn't the obstacle. The real opponent is AHAM, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, the trade group representing the companies that build the machines. AHAM's case rests on its own testing with NSF International, which found filters capture only about 25% of shed microfibers, a number it uses to argue the whole mandate is premature and expensive. Ocean Conservancy claims up to 90%. Andrew lays both numbers next to a stack of independent studies that fall outside either organization's own interest: an external filter capturing 87% on average, PlanetCare's claimed 98%, a Guppyfriend bag's 79-86%, and Connecticut's own government review putting existing filters at 80-89%. Ocean Conservancy's number holds up a lot better than AHAM's once independent testing enters the picture, though AHAM's other objections, a 13-year payback period on the filter's own embedded plastic, clogging and flooding risk, and a real burden on people with disabilities, deserve a fair hearing too. From there, Andrew runs the actual legislative scoreboard: California passed a filter bill in 2023 and Governor Newsom vetoed it over cost, even though Ocean Conservancy's own economic analysis puts a built-in filter at just $14 to $20 per machine. France's law remains unenforced. New York's bill has passed the Assembly and sits in a Senate committee. Illinois has companion bills moving in both chambers. Oregon's died in committee. New Jersey and Pennsylvania have bills in progress. A federal bill, the Fighting Fibers Act, is on its second attempt after an earlier version died in the last Congress. Nobody knows how this ends, but Andrew makes the case that the technology fight is basically settled and the real one is political. Takeaways: Ocean Conservancy's May 2026 poll found 81% of Americans support requiring microfiber filters on new washing machines, and concern about microplastics is up 32% since 2023. The appliance industry's trade group, AHAM, cites its own NSF International testing showing filters capture only about 25% of microfibers, far below Ocean Conservancy's claimed 90%. A stack of independent studies outside both organizations (Lint LUV-R, PlanetCare, Guppyfriend, and Connecticut's own government review) lands much closer to Ocean Conservancy's number than AHAM's. California passed a filter bill in 2023 that Governor Newsom vetoed over cost, despite Ocean Conservancy's own analysis putting the added cost at just $14 to $20 per machine. Five US states currently have active or recently-failed filter bills (New York, Illinois, Oregon, New Jersey, Pennsylvania), and a federal bill, the Fighting Fibers Act, is on its second attempt in Congress. AHAM raises some legitimate concerns worth taking seriously, including a 13-year plastic payback period on the filter itself and a real burden on people with disabilities who'd have to maintain one.

Every wash cycle sheds plastic. Last Monday, Andrew talked with Dr. Anja Brandon of Ocean Conservancy about microfiber pollution, and one question from that conversation stuck with him: has anyone actually fixed this yet? In this solo follow-up, Andrew traces a microfiber's actual path, from the moment agitation, heat, and detergent work it loose from a shirt, through the drain, into a wastewater treatment plant, and out the other side into biosolids, farmland, rivers, and the ocean, with a growing body of research suggesting some of it ends up in human lungs and even in the human placenta. Along the way, Andrew digs into what actually controls how much a load of laundry sheds (full loads shed less per item than half-empty ones, machine type matters, and detergent's role is murkier than expected), what the current health research says about needle-shaped fibers lodging in tissue once they're inhaled or ingested, and why a fix that already exists, a washing machine filter, keeps stalling out politically. France passed the world's first law requiring one, and it still isn't enforced. California tried and got vetoed over a cost of about $14 to $20 per machine. A federal bill is sitting in committee. Andrew also runs through the three consumer-level options available right now: the Cora Ball, a Guppyfriend mesh washing bag, and a PlanetCare retrofit filter, each with a different tradeoff between cost, maintenance, and how much they actually catch. This episode sets up tomorrow's deep dive into Ocean Conservancy's Not Safe for Wash campaign, including the capture-rate dispute between Ocean Conservancy and the appliance manufacturers' trade group that's currently stalling the push for a federal requirement. Takeaways: A single load of synthetic laundry can shed anywhere from a few hundred thousand to millions of microfibers, and agitation is the best-documented cause, though machine type, wash temperature, and detergent all play a role too. A full load of laundry sheds less per item than a half-empty one, because more fabric-on-fabric contact is actually less abrasive than items tumbling loosely with excess water. Fibers that make it past a wastewater treatment plant often end up in biosolids, which get spread on farmland as fertilizer, meaning they're relocated rather than actually removed from the environment. Emerging research has found textile-linked microplastic fibers in human lung tissue and in every human placenta tested in a 2024 study, with inhaled nylon fibers shown to disrupt developing airway cells. A washing machine filter can capture the large majority of shed microfibers for an estimated $14 to $20 added to the cost of a machine, but France's 2025 filter law remains unenforced, California vetoed its own version in 2023, and a federal bill is still in committee. Consumer-level options exist today: a Cora Ball, a Guppyfriend mesh washing bag, or a PlanetCare retrofit filter, each trading off cost, maintenance, and capture rate differently.

In recent years, Gaston County has become one of the prime landing spots for some of the estimate 13,000 Haitian immigrants that have come to North Carolina -- so much so that Gaston County has invested in translating materials into Haitian Creole and doing specific outreach to that community from its Department of Health and Human Services. Just a month ago, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed a Trump Administration order to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians -- a move that is projected to impact roughly 350,000 Haitians across the United States. On this episode of Savvier Citizen, we talk to a pair of experts in the immigration field on what changes this has in store, and what this might look like for those in that community living here in Gaston County.  Read the full "Haiti is Not Safe" country conditions report from USCRI here: https://refugees.org/haiti-is-not-safe-country-conditions-2026/

Every time you run a load of laundry, your washing machine sheds plastic. Not metaphorically: synthetic clothing made from polyester, nylon, and rayon releases microfibers with every wash, and depending on the study, a single load can shed anywhere from a few hundred thousand to millions of them. Most of us have never thought about it, because unlike a plastic bag on the beach, you can't see it happening. In this episode, Andrew talks with Dr. Anja Brandon, Director of Plastics Policy at Ocean Conservancy, about the plastic pollution problem hiding in plain sight behind the more familiar debates over straws and single-use bottles. Anja's own path here started at an aquarium, not a policy office. She volunteered there as a student, went on to earn a PhD in environmental engineering from Stanford studying plastic-degrading bacteria, then took a detour into policy through an AAAS/AGU Congressional Science Fellowship, spending a year working inside Senator Jeff Merkley's office translating science into legislation before joining Ocean Conservancy to help build out its plastics policy program from the ground up. Andrew and Anja dig into that career pivot in detail, including her honest read on why plastic-eating bacteria research, despite the viral videos, is still a long way from solving this problem at scale. From there, the conversation gets practical. Anja walks through what actually happens to a microfiber after it leaves your washing machine (wastewater treatment, biosolids used as fertilizer, and eventually rivers, lakes, and oceans), why its needle-like shape makes it unusually good at lodging in tissue once ingested, and what the evidence says about ocean wildlife and human health. Then she lays out the fix: retrofit filters, low-tech options like the Cora Ball and mesh laundry bags, and Ocean Conservancy's "Not Safe for Wash" (NSFW) campaign pushing for a legal requirement that new washing machines ship with a microfiber filter, the same way seatbelts got phased into cars. California's SB 54 comes up as a model for how extended producer responsibility policy can make manufacturers, not individual households, absorb the cost of the plastic they put into the world. Takeaways: Synthetic clothing sheds microfibers every time it's made, worn, and washed, and depending on the study, a single load of laundry can release anywhere from a few hundred thousand to millions of them. Shed microfibers mostly end up caught in wastewater treatment biosolids, which are frequently applied to farmland as fertilizer, meaning they get moved around rather than actually removed from the environment. A retrofit or built-in washing machine filter can capture up to 90% of the microfibers a wash cycle would otherwise release, and Ocean Conservancy's own polling found roughly 8 in 10 Americans support requiring them. No U.S. state currently requires washing machine microfiber filters, though several have introduced legislation and a similar bill has been introduced federally. California's SB 54 uses an extended producer responsibility (EPR) model, making the companies that create plastic packaging financially responsible for its end-of-life costs rather than leaving that bill with taxpayers and consumers. Lower-cost individual options exist too: full loads over small ones, lower wash temperatures, less soap, a Cora Ball, or a fine mesh laundry bag for synthetic fabrics.

With closing arguments on the horizon in the Lindsay Clancy trial, Roberts examines Clancy's successful innocence fraud campaign and explains why Clancy shouldn't get off easy from murderering her three children but may get off with a slap on the wrists. Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the murder of her three children- Cora (age 5), Dawson (age 3) and Callan (age eight months). The prosecution alleges Clancy planned and murdered her children in a methodical and calculated manner. The defense alleges Clancy murdered her children during a postpartum psychosis or bipolar episode.Show Notes:Court TV “Devastating Moment Patrick Clancy Found the Kids Dead” - https://youtu.be/XCbH9A3MyA4?is=a68rdPk0BDnmzpAEUS News “Lindsay Clancy is Not Safe” - https://youtu.be/ZkEPwAzKeEo?is=h3KsiF5WyiQqU5wB Court TV “Lindsay Clancy Lawyer..” - https://youtu.be/Q0yBhs3d9uk?is=N5YnVhUNZ2a_ElHd WCVB “Karen Read Supporters..” - https://youtube.com/shorts/j7J8UgyIrb0?is=CmyPKmCAQ5hk4RaUTrue Crimes Podcast “Lindsay Clancy Trial Unpopular Opinions” - https://youtu.be/KVCSQIe_-BY?is=ndckOgUKEnbgMZshRead the court documents here- https://htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/files/clancy-search-warrant-applications-6538020282ac9.pdfLindsay Clancy Arraignment- https://youtu.be/3ueFBcu-uW8?is=H9WuPSDc_iB7YNMoInnocence Fraud Watch “Why Did Kevin Reddington Choose to Kiss Butt of Aidan Kearney..” - https://theerrorsthatplaguethemiscarriageofjusticemovement.home.blog/2024/08/10/killer-karen-read-retrial-why-did-lawyer-kevin-reddington-praise-aidan-turtleboy-kearney-on-his-rolling-rally-witness-intimidation-stunt-which-targetted-his-then-client-jennifer-m/True Crimes Podcasts "13 Reasons Why the Lindsay Clancy Trial Seems Suspicious" -https://youtu.be/l89et2IOGR4?si=5xtpN8dr_limhuEuTrue Crimes Podcasts "Commonwealth 911 Call" -https://youtu.be/l89et2IOGR4?si=GiEy4tQv_OlhfEK3Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a chanel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinThank you Patrons!Beth, Shelley Safford, Carol Mumumeci, Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

When a high conflict person says it's all your fault, most reasonable people do something predictable — they start wondering what they did wrong. That instinct toward self-reflection is healthy in most relationships. With high conflict people, it becomes a trap.Bill Eddy, LCSW, JD, and Megan Hunter, MBA, co-founders of the High Conflict Institute, unpack why high conflict personalities blame with an intensity that triggers your brain's threat-detection system — and why that intensity is precisely what makes you absorb guilt that isn't yours. They cover how to reality-test yourself when the blame lands hard, what to expect when you finally set a limit, and how to sit with the backlash without retreating into self-doubt.It's All Your Fault is produced by TruStory FM.Full Show Notes & ResourcesSubmit Questions | Full Show Notes | Bookstore | WebsiteWatch this episode on YouTubeImportant Notice: Our discussions focus on behavioral patterns rather than diagnoses.

Nikki Glaser (Alive and Unwell, Someday You'll Die, Not Safe with Nikki Glaser) is a comedian, actor, and television host. Nikki joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why Dax's name has good joke texture, her plea for people not to have veneers during the apocalypse, and feeling embarrassed that her name had to take up space in Ralph Feinnes' brain. Nikki and Dax talk about growing up resentful that she wasn't born as pretty as she could have been, wanting the approval that comes with being extraordinary, and why Dax thinks Nikki is the Taylor Swift of comedy. Nikki explains becoming sober from comments and cigarettes, getting permission for her joke about Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez at the Golden Globes, and addresses her fear that she's secretly a mean girl.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
