Full Show: The Toxic Assault on Our Children
April 19, 2013
Biologist,
mother and activist Sandra Steingraber joins Bill to explain why she
was willing to go to jail — and did — for blocking access to the
construction of a storage and transportation facility involved in the
controversial process of fracking. Steingraber has become
internationally known for building awareness about toxins she says are
threatening our children’s health by contaminating our air, water and
food, and talks to Bill about how we must take action stop these “toxic
trespassers.”
With government captured by the very industries it’s supposed to regulate, Steingraber has lost patience with politicians and corporations, and says we need to work together now to prevent destruction to the environment.
Also on the show, Bill presents the short documentary “Dance of the Honey Bee.” Narrated by Bill McKibben, the film takes a look at the determined, beautiful, and vital role honey bees play in preserving life, as well as the threats bees face from a rapidly changing landscape.
