Summary

 This week we’re sharing a special episode from our friends at the Safe to Drink podcast, produced by the Pulitzer Prize-finalist team behind Bear Brook and The 13th Step at New Hampshire Public Radio. Safe to Drink investigates one of the largest PFAS contamination events in New Hampshire’s history. Hosted by NHPR climate reporter Mara Hoplamazian, the series follows a community grappling with “forever chemicals” in its drinking water at a moment when PFAS contamination is increasingly understood as a widespread climate and public health issue affecting communities across the country. Today’s special episode, which is their series debut of Safe to Drink, is titled “You Don’t Know About This?”. Through deeply reported storytelling, Safe to Drink podcast explores how climate-driven industrial pollution, scientific uncertainty, and regulatory gaps collide, and what happens when families are told their water is safe while evidence suggests otherwise. It’s a timely listen for audiences looking to better understand the human stakes of environmental contamination and climate accountability.

The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations). To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit: https://www.realorganicproject.org/directory We believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.
