Environmental Justice Now

For this week's episode of the Shut up and Dribble Podcast, Ben welcomes Davis Mead, an expert on sports activism, onto the show to discuss the differing roles of athletes in social justice issues, as well as the future role of athletes and the sports world in combating environmental justice issues. Ben, and Davis open with a case study on NBA player Javale Mcgee and his foundation, JUGLIFE’s environmental justice work (0:35 - 6:45). This episode includes a discussion of athletes’ roles in real world issues and how our current times allow for social media activism to be as powerful and accessible as ever, especially for athletes who possess such large followings. Environmental Justice is also a main focus of this episode, and rightly so, issues of environmental justice and climate justice are as much of a threat as ever and Ben and Davis discuss how athletes have been and can get involved/make tangible change in the future.

On this episode of The Waste Podium, Claire, Lexi, and Maddy dive into the Olympic games and some essential, yet buried, questions. Our central question was, are the Olympics truly sustainable? We explore this question in both the context of “green” sustainability of the games, and questioning if the hyper-wasteful model of the games themselves can be sustained into the future. What happens to Olympic communities after they host? Do the Olympics present both social and environmental issues? Joining us will be special guests like a crafted “anonymous” eyewitness character named Maria, inspired by the articles linked below, and an Olympic expert, Tammy Applebaum. The international Olympic games make this podcast relevant to everyone globally.

Page 1 of 2 Food for Thought show notesOverviewIn this podcast Mary Blake Zeron and myself, Elsa Marrian, discuss the use of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). We compare and contrast the Western World perspective on GMOs to that of the less economically developed world. One way that we do this is through the use of the Golden Rice example in India. Through this lens we are able to contextualise shopper anxiety, food labeling and legislation, and farmer activism.
