Welcome back to the weekly Schauer, I hope you’re ready to get angry because we are talking about the sheer amount of health-related dangers that the US government and corporations are putting us all at risk of! I do apologize for the late upload, this week has been hectic but we’re here now.
Please know that it is never too late to help the environment and reduce/reverse climate change. This episode may seem daunting, but rest assured there are a lot of people working on this and fighting for this, however they do need our help. We are all stronger and more capable together, thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode and thank you to everyone fighting climate injustice.
Nuance:
Apologies for not talking about the conversion process of ethylene and ethylene oxide, I have a strong sense that if I did Youtube would take this video down. Please feel free to research for yourself if you’d like to know more.
Also, a full dedicated podcast episode on prison “labor” and Superfund sites is coming up, I am absolutely not done talking about that.
