No matter where you go, the air you're breathing may include an array of toxic chemical and plastic particles.
This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about the landmark decision in Montana affirming young people’s claim that a law preventing decision makers to consider the impacts of climate change deprives them of their right to a clean and safe environment, how the FDA permits food companies to put hazardous chemicals into their products, and why you should avoid black plastic kitchen utensils made from recycled materials. Then Dr. Brian Moench, president of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, talks about what’s in the air we’re breathing every day, and what you can do to improve the air around you.
