Permafrost in Rural Alaska
2026/05/21
Elan and Justin cover the disruption caused by permafrost in rural Alaska within their podcast. Throughout the discussion, Elan and Justin view permafrost from the lenses of three different families. The conversation gets in depth as Justin and Elan speak upon how permafrost has collapsed communities as a whole throughout Alaska, more specifically discussing the damaged infrastructure, limited healthcare, and scarce amounts of food supply. Fortunately at the end, Justin and Elan talk about potential solutions for this devastating issue that harms Alaskan families.

Uranium Mining in the Black Hills
2026/05/21
Today, Josh and Jaydon will discuss the environmental and social impact of uranium mining in the Black Hills, South Dakota. Situated just south of the Black Hills, Pine Ridge Reservation provides a home to almost 20,000 people, most of whom are of native descent and have received years of neglect from the United States colonial government. The almost 200 uranium mines in the Black Hills leak uranium into the air and drinking water of people on Pine Reservation, making them more susceptible to diagnoses such as cancer. Coupled with the poor support from the United States, which has caused a housing crisis, the quality of life of Pine ridge reservation seems to be decreasing as the United States sacrifices it to mine uranium. Earlier this year, Azarga Metals Corp., a Canadian mining company, requested to reopen a plot of land right next to Pine Ridge Reservation–the Dewey-Burdock site. Even though many native advocacy groups have fought against this new mine, the battle continues. Listen more to hear the history of this conflict, and learn about what it currently stands.
Mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
2026/05/21
On this episode of the Environmental Movement podcast, we took a deep dive into some of the mining regions in the DCR. Through our conversation, the listener can expect to hear about armed rebel groups affect our environment. These rebel groups are notorious for sex violence and illegal mining operations. Lastly, the podcast ends with a question of morality and if we are encouraging these Militia groups?

Shingle Mountain
2026/05/21
Rich and Zara discuss the cause and effect of a toxic waste dump, Shingle Mountain, in southern Dallas. They explore how historic redlining and current environmental racism played into the deteriorating health of over 100 people living in the area. With lack of city involvement, Shingle Mountain grew up to 60 feet tall. Zhou and Ali dissect the underlying reasons for the rise of Shingle Mountain, and how the build-up of asphalt shingles represented something much greater.

Hong Kong's Housing Crisis
2025/05/22
In this week’s episode, Vivian and Juan discuss the housing and economic crisis of Hong Kong, one of the most densely populated cities on the planet. The city grapples with strict construction laws, inequality, some of the worst air pollution anywhere, and the displacement of one of the area’s last rural villages.

Dolphins and Disparity
2025/05/21
This podcast covers the environmental justice issue of tourism and ecotourism. We talk about a case study that involves a dolphin tourist attraction in St. Lucia and the harms it would cause to St. Lucia locals. The protests against it eventually led to it not being put in, but the problems of slow violence, environmental privilege, and environmentalism of the poor still apply to this topic. We also talked about another case study of a major resort in St. Lucia and how tourism as a whole can become an environmental justice problem. We used a news source directly from St. Lucia that offered commentary on the island’s continued issue with a dolphin tourist site: St. Lucia StarLinks to an external site.. This source, along with EJ AtlasLinks to an external site., Seaside SustainabilityLinks to an external site., and several other sources, allowed us to understand the depth and nuance behind why this case was an environmental justice issue and how this thinking can be applied across other tourist attractions in major tourist locations.

Winds of Displacement
2025/05/21
Have you ever wanted to learn more about the dark side of green energy? Are you interested in why certain demographics and their lands are targeted over others as sites for wind farms? Have you wondered about the direct impacts that wind turbines have on the environment and the communities in which they are installed? In this documentary-style podcast, two Deerfield Academy students delve into the impacts that wind turbines have on the Quilombola population in the Caetite region of Brazil.
If you’re interested in learning more about how rural Brazilian communities have been impacted by Brazil’s push to convert to green energy, we suggest you check out this site

Carbon Capture in Uganda
2025/05/21
With the help of guest Jackson Violich, in this week’s episode we examine a carbon capture site in Kachung, Uganda, owned by the ironically named company “Green Resources”. We discuss how this process, though seemingly beneficial, is much more harmful than it is good. We dive into the ethics and rationale of carbon credits along with exploring how they can be detrimental to the communities their sites are located in. In doing this, we also consider different Environmental Justice trends and themes that arise from this project.

Fukishima
2025/05/21
Summary:
Have you ever thought about the aftermath of a destroyed nuclear power plant? Ever wondered how they store the nuclear wastewater? Or have you ever explored the consequences of releasing nuclear wastewater into the ocean? In this episode, we dive into an issue that stretches back to a decade ago–one of earthquakes, radiation, protests, and water. We’re talking about Fukushima Daiichi, more specifically, the controversial decision to release nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean on April 13th, 2021.
We referenced these sources for the making of our podcast.

Penokee Hills Mining
2025/05/21
Can abundant outcries across different demographics be enough to stop a billion dollar cooperation fueling the engine that is American capitalism? We’ll find out in this week's episode of Environmental Perspectives as Ojibwe Tribal Historian, Ella Moriarty, and Penokee Hills, WI local councilman, David Peirce, explore the grassroots battle against the proposed Gogebic Taconite pit mines along Wisconsin’s Penokee Hills and Bad River Watershed. Using each of their respective knowledge bases, they discuss responding to Indigenous treaty rights, environmentalism of the poor, protection of sovereign nations, and systemic collapsing of ecosystems. Most importantly, they break down how the spread of activism for this issue among both Bad River Ojibwe members and non-indigenous locals fueled a powerful resistance movement, ultimately halting the drill and extraction of the Gogebic Taconite pit mines.

Novi Mumbai Airport
2025/05/21
On this week's episode of "Environmental Justice Today", Kabir Sheth talks to the audience about the current project set in Mumbai India, the Navi Airport. Funded by Indian businessman Gautam Adani, this massive airport spanning almost 7200 acres of land is set to bring tourism, innovation, and jobs to the people of Mumbai, but at what cost? Deforestation, displacement from people's homes, and destroying cultural temples are at the forefront of the airport's construction. Kabir will take us through some interviews in this episode with Guatam Adani himself, a scientist to discuss environmental impact, a construction worker of the airport, and a local member affected by the negative effects of displacement due to the airport's need for land. We hope this discussion can foster friendly discourse on the balance between construction that supports tourism and innovation, and the need to preserve heritage, land, and people.

Ecofeminism
2023/05/25
On this episode of Greencast, Fife and Caroline discuss the history of ecofeminism and how it has continued to be a relevant current events issue. Ecofeminism, or the intersection of environmentalism and feminism, is seldom discussed in the mainstream but has a rich history in America and internationally. Fife and Caroline reference a particular case study in the Amazon Rainforest which ecofeminism was and continues to be very present today.
