In a special Upstream Indisposable Podcast episode honoring Juneteenth, host Matt Prindiville talks about environmental justice and how the one-way, throw-away, linear economy doesn’t just trash the planet, it destroys lives and communities as well – especially communities of color in sacrifice zones here in the United States and around the globe. Learn insights from two esteemed leaders in the environmental justice movement – Dr. Ana Baptista, Professor at the Milano School of Policy, Management & Environment and Co-Director of the Tishman Environment & Design Center at The New School; and our Executive Director José Bravo – as they discuss how systemic racism, historical and ongoing, continues to bring the most devastating climate impacts to people of color, what effective allyship looks like, and how reuse fits in as part of a holistic solution to addressing this legacy and bringing restorative justice to frontline communities.
