In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked aspects of any SHTF prepping scenario - complete sanitation failure and the devastating contamination that follows. You'll discover why modern sewage systems are entirely dependent on electricity, how lift stations work, and what happens when they fail catastrophically. We explore the terrifying reality of sewage backing up through your pipes, contaminating entire neighborhoods, and creating what experts call a "pathogen soup" of deadly bacteria and viruses. Learn about practical mitigation strategies and why community coordination becomes critical for survival. This episode will fundamentally change how you think about hygiene preparedness.

A Senate bill that would have banned the use of sewage sludge as fertilizer on New York farmland passed in the State Senate — but then quietly died in the Assembly. Supporters say the bill was a necessary response to research showing harmful levels of PFAS and other toxic compounds in treated human and industrial waste, which can contaminate crops, waterways and drinking water. Opponents, including the waste processing industry, say the science isn't settled and that banning sludge could devastate rural economies. We look at how the bill unraveled — and what happens next.

June 6, 2025 ~ Macomb County Public Works Commissioner voices her concerns over Oakland County's plan to prevent overflows of raw sewage into Macomb waterways.

In this punchy and provocative episode of Mark and Pete, we dive headfirst into the swirling chaos of British politics, public utilities, and corporate excess. First up: Attorney General Richard Hermer finds himself in hot water after comparing the Reform Party and Tory ECHR policies to Nazi ideology. Was it a bold moral stand—or a clumsy rhetorical nosedive? Next, we wade through the murky waters of Thames Water's £122.7 million fine, the biggest in UK history, as they continue to leak both sewage and credibility while drowning in £20 billion of debt. Is failure now the British benchmark for business? Finally, we take off (in budget class) to dissect Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary's eye-watering €100 million bonus. In a time of rising fares and falling trust, should we celebrate his capitalist cunning or question the altitude of his ethics? With satire, insight, and listener interaction, this episode invites you to write in: What reality show would you create featuring these headline-makers?

Last week, we visited a community in California's Central Valley called East Orosi, which has been fighting for clean water for over 20 years. This week we turn our attention to their sewage system, which is also falling apart. Why has it been so difficult for East Orosi to get clean drinking water and fix its sewage problems? To answer that question, we take a look at the community utility districts that run sewage and water in unincorporated towns all across California. We'll discuss their problems as well as ways to save them. This show first aired in August 2024.

Wizz Air takes pride in having the lowest carbon footprint per passenger and kilometer in the airline industry, 52g, number that it expects to bring further down as it renews the fleet with larger, denser and more efficient aircraft.But fleet renewal alone won't do the trick. In fact, “fleet” is just one of the three “Fs” that the pan-European ultra-low-cost airline relies on to get to Net Zero by 2050, even in a context of growing air traffic.“Footprint”, that is, efficiency improvements in the way aircraft are operates, is another, relatively minor “F” in this vision. But the bulk of the carbon reduction will rest upon the massive use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).Since production of SAF is currently small, Wizz Air has decided to take a proactive stance and become a direct investor in a number of innovative SAF projects, one of the most promising of which is Firefly, a British startup that turns sewage into SAF.In this episode of the podcast, Yvonne Moynihan, head of ESG and sustainability at Wizz Air, and James Hygate OBE, founder and CEO of Firefly, share the (virtual) stage to explain this project in detail. We will talk about how Firefly technology works, how scalable it is and how does this project fit into Wizz Air's SAF-sourcing ans well as in the airline's broader decarbonization plans. Tune in for a fascinating chat about one of the most interesting SAF projects right now in Europe and how it will help Wizz Air strengthen its sustainability credentials even further…

A new report says San Diego County is meeting its state-mandated housing goals. The EPA administration is working on a list of everything needed to clean up the Tijuana River and top stop the pollution once and for all. Sea World says it's rescued almost 60 sea lions, about 40 birds, and 14 dolphins, as they deal with the toxic algae bloom.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin visited with San Diego leaders Tuesday to discuss solutions to the cross-border sewage crisis. He also faced a group of protestors. Plus, how Project 2025 is impacting San Diegans. And, the city is lowering speed limits on a handful of commercial streets.

Border Battles Intensify: Mexico Rejects Trump Ad Campaign, Dumps Sewage on U.S. Beaches – President Sheinbaum bans U.S. immigration ads from Mexican airwaves, calling them “discriminatory.” Meanwhile, raw sewage continues flowing from Tijuana into San Diego, sickening U.S. troops. Trump officials say Mexico must fix the crisis - or face financial consequences. Trump Slams Federal Courts for Halting Deportations – The president criticizes the judiciary for blocking mass deportations, calling due process for millions of illegal immigrants “a ridiculous situation.” Meanwhile, over 500,000 migrants from the Biden era skipped court dates entirely. Leaked DOJ Data Could Fuel Deportation Surge – DOGE gains access to a sensitive DOJ migrant database, potentially expanding self-deportation pressure via fraud crackdowns and benefit denials. Democrats Warn Global Leaders Against Supporting Trump – Rep. Jamie Raskin says Democrats will “remember” any country that helps Trump, threatening diplomatic retribution once Democrats regain power. Chinese Mafia Violence Rocks Rome as Pope Francis Passes – A high-profile mafia witness is assassinated ahead of a major trial exposing Beijing-linked criminal networks across Europe. ProPublica reports the Chinese mafia acts as unofficial agents for the Communist Party. Beijing Enters Congo Conflict Over Critical Minerals – China pressures Rwanda to halt its backing of rebels in eastern Congo, fearing U.S. companies will displace Chinese firms in the race for rare earth dominance. Denmark's Socialist Leader Adopts Trump-Style Immigration Policies – PM Mette Frederiksen embraces tough border controls, migrant deportation, and even ghetto-reduction laws - agreeing with VP JD Vance that Europe must take back control. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32​

The administrator for the EPA will inspect the sewage crisis in the Tijuana River firsthand today. Plus, we are getting a clearer picture of the widespread changes San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria is proposing to the city's budget. And, newly released data shows crime numbers continue to drop across San Diego. NBC 7's Nicole Gomez has these stories and more on this Tuesday, April 22.

Josh and David analyze the Trump administration's contentious decision to cancel a DOJ agreement addressing Lowndes County's severe sewage issues, linking it to the anti-DEI agenda and its harmful real-world consequences. They also scrutinize State Representative Corey Harbison's prolonged absence from the Legislature while still drawing a salary, sparking a debate on accountability and the problematic practice of voting by proxy.Then, immigration attorney Ruby Adams provides insight into the pervasive fear within immigrant communities, the challenges of navigating the legal system under the current administration, and the alarming implications of disregarding due process exemplified by cases like Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She touches on the chilling effect on reporting crimes and accessing education due to this environment of fear.Finally, David offers a "hot take" connecting the past handling of Osama Bin Laden to present-day concerns about due process erosion. This leads into this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week, focusing on Republican politicians engaging in performative and dehumanizing photo opportunities at a notorious El Salvadorian prison, highlighting a disturbing lack of empathy.Connect with Us X/Twitter FacebookAbout Our SponsorAlabama Politics This Week is sponsored by Wind Creek Hospitality.

4.14.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: DOJ ends raw sewage settlement, Crockett rips GOP's dangerous health agenda, El Salvador Deportation In 2023, the Department of Justice identified a pattern of neglect by Alabama's Department of Public Health, which has contributed to a decades-old water and sewage crisis in the state's "Black Belt," specifically in Lowndes County. Now, the MAGA administration is terminating the settlement that was reached to address the county's water issues. I will speak with the Rural Development Manager of the Equal Justice Initiative about how this decision will continue to affect Black citizens in Alabama. The false narrative that noncitizens were voting led to the passage of the SAVE Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to register or update voter information. We will discuss with the Policy Council from the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law the implications of this law on voters. In tonight's Crockett Chronicles, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett calls out MAGA Republicans for turning public health into a partisan circus. And thousands turnout to honor one of the greatest boxers of all time, George Foreman. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

The US government's mistaken removal of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador has captured national attention, and it's as stunning as it is heart breaking. So Mary and Andrew dedicate the bulk of this week's episode to what's happened since the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must follow the lower court's order to facilitate his return. So far, the administration seems to be slow-walking the process, dodging accountability for the fact that Abrego Garcia was never afforded his due process rights, a core American principle. Andrew and Mary go on to explain each consecutive government response, and two habeas petitions that have been granted a TRO since last week's Supreme Court decision. Before wrapping up, they highlight the cancelling of a landmark civil rights deal in Alabama, and Trump's latest retribution in action-- targeting individuals, the Associated Press and Harvard.Further reading: Here is Mary's OpEd in the Washington Post: It's time to compel Justice officials to testify on Abrego García.And please vote for your favorite MSNBC podcasts in this year's Webby Awards:Prosecuting Donald Trump in the Podcasts - Crime & Justice category: VOTE HEREWhy Is This Happening?

You're not going to forget this one anytime soon, and you will NEVER look at a wooden handle the same way again.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Zak B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Christine L, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Roni C, and Nourhane B - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Since the election, Senator John Fetterman—once a great hope of progressives—has conspicuously blamed Democrats for the electoral loss. Fetterman tells David Remnick that the Democratic Party discouraged male voters, particularly white men. He has pursued a lonely course of bipartisanship by meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago before his Inauguration, joining Truth Social, and voting to confirm Pam Bondi as Attorney General—the only Democrat to do so. But, despite Trump's relatively high approval ratings, he lambasts the Administration for the “chaos” it is currently sowing in America. Fetterman sympathizes with voters' widespread disgust with contemporary politicking. “Unlimited money has turned all of us in some way into all OnlyFans models,” he says. “We're all just online hustling for money.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
