This week, co-host Jake Bolster and reporters Marianne Lavelle and Liza Gross discuss the polluting power of fossil fuels and how they are harming two communities in very different ways.
Welcome to Inside Climate, a podcast from the staff of Inside Climate News. In this episode, we delve into how President Donald Trump’s environmental policy rollbacks are impacting ordinary people. In Pennsylvania, a jet fuel pipeline spill has tainted the drinking water source for more than 200 homes in Pennsylvania and homeowners continue to struggle with the cleanup.
And elsewhere, a different type of pollution is wreaking havoc as Guatemala is inundated with cheap plastic imports and extremely limited infrastructure to manage the waste.
