We talk to Marian Ledesma of Greenpeace Southeast Asia and Christina Dixon of Environmental Investigation Agency about what happened at the INC-2 meetings in Paris last week.

A bonus episode about the Global Plastics Treaty from one of our favorite podcasts called Plastisphere Podcast.

We need other solutions to the plastic waste crisis. Solutions that involve reduce, reuse, refill and repair here in Asia. And those types of solutions…need to be included in the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations.

A special season about the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations happening over the next two years…with episodes dropping before and after every meeting!

We shift our focus from crops to livestock… specifically… dairy products made from cows. We humans have eaten dairy products for centuries…but only recently did we realize the impact that cows are having on climate change.

Rice is the staple food for more than 3.5 billion people. But did you know that rice farming produces 10% of the world’s methane emissions? In this episode, Marcy and Chermaine will start their journey from Madagascar in the 1960s…

The soil that gives life to 90% of the food on our table… now faces a “diet problem.” We are feeding it too many chemical fertilizers. And overuse of these fertilizers…is fueling climate change. How can China and the US, the two food superpowers, tackle this problem together?

In the last episode of our season, Chermaine and Khoa travel to Seoul to see what a wealthier country's air pollution issues looks like here in Asia.

Battling air quality in poorer regions of Asia can present many challenges…but New Delhi and Kathmandu are showing that there may be a light at the end of the poor air quality tunnel.

The citizen movement against air pollution and climate change in Pakistan’s capital, Lahore, pushes for change while the government blames the bad air on India.

Jakarta is up next in our series as Chermaine and Khoa uncover the health concerns surrounding air pollution in Indonesia and how citizens are using a landmark lawsuit to fight it.

In the quest to explore clean air troubles around Asia, Khoa Tran and Chermaine Lee start this five episode series in Bangkok, Thailand and uncover the environmental battles being fought on a daily basis.
