KPFA - Terra Verde

Not only is the fashion industry is the world’s second biggest polluter after the fossil fuel industry, but many of the textiles we surround ourselves with (in our clothing, bedding, and home upholstery) are also made of petroleum-based products and/or contain PFAS—or “forever-chemicals”—which pose an enormous threat to our health and the environment. On this episode of Terra Verde, host Fiona McLeod speaks with Patty Grossman , co-founder and CEO of Two Sisters Ecotextiles , and Smita Paul , founder of Indigo Handloom —both of whom are leaders in the movement for safer, more ethical and environmentally-friendly fabrics. They discuss the broader consequences of fast fashion, the hidden costs of what we wear, and what solutions exist for a healthier, more sustainable textile and clothing industry.

The average adult in the United States uses somewhere around 12 personal care products a day, with women typically using more than men. Those products can expose us to more than a hundred chemicals on a daily basis, some of which come with serious health risks. These risks are not borne equally. Black women in particular bear a disproportionate burden when it comes to chemical exposure through cosmetics and other personal care products, a burden that has been linked to a higher risk of breast cancer, among other things. Yet the industry remains woefully unregulated. Of the estimated 10,000 chemicals used in beauty products, the federal government here in the US has banned or otherwise restricted only 11. Dedicated advocates are trying to change this. And in the meantime, they are offering guidance for those looking to reduce their exposure on their own. Terra Verde host and Earth Island Journal Managing Editor Zoe Loftus-Farren talks with Arnedra Jordan, a project manager with Black Women For Wellness who leads their Beauty Justice Campaign, and Alexa Friedman, a senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group who recently co-authored a report digging into the disparate impact of hazardous cosmetics chemicals, about their work for beauty justice.

Environmentalists and civil rights activists are strategizing and pushing back against the Trump administration’s moves to dismantle our democracy, but a lot of this work is not yet visible to all and we are left with the sense that, so far, resistance to Trump 2.0 has been rather lack-luster. But has it, really? To delve further into this question Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief and Terra Verde cohost Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with Dana R. Fisher, the Director of the Center for Environment, Community, & Equity and Professor in the School of International Service , who has been analyzing data collecting data from activists engaging in protests around climate change, systemic racism, and the American resistance. Among other things, Fisher’s research has uncovered that a growing number of left-leaning Americans now believe political violence may be necessary to save our democracy. Note: Dana is the author of several books, most recently Saving Ourselves: From Climate Shocks to Climate Action .

California’s growing wildfire crisis has impacted nearly every corner of the state in recent years, and this month we’ve witnessed a series of deadly, destructive, and unprecedented January wildfires in southern California. Governor Gavin Newsom created the California Wildfire & Forest Resilience Task Force in 2021 to introduce a more holistic, integrated approach toward effective forest management. The Task Force is a collaborative effort that unites federal, state, local, and tribal organizations to better manage forests, protect communities, and adapt to California’s fire-prone reality. On this episode of Terra Verde, host Fiona McLeod speaks with Patrick Wright , Director of the Task Force, to discuss their progress, challenges, and how we can all play a part in building a safer, more fire-resilient future in California.

California is facing a growing crisis as wildfires become more frequent, intense, and devastating. In the face of the catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles this month, youth climate activists there are sounding the alarm. Local activists from the Sunrise Movement’s LA chapter made headlines last week by staging a takeover of the Phillips 66 refinery, demanding accountability from the fossil fuel industry for its role in driving the climate crisis. On this episode of Terra Verde, host Fiona McLeod speaks with Suzie Hicks, also known as “the Climate Chick,” and Nico Gardner Serna of Sunrise LA. We discuss the connections between the LA fires and the fossil fuel industry, climate justice and education, and their fight for a livable future. Suzie Hicks is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and television host. They specialize in climate and environmental communication for kids of all ages. Their show, Suzie Hicks the Climate Chick teaches kids about climate change and empowers children and their families to care for the earth and themselves. Nicolas Gardner Serna is a community organizer and political strategist working at the intersection of economic and climate justice. As Chapter Coordinator of the Sunrise Movement LA , Nico works to build powerful campaigns to take on corporate polluters. He is currently leading an effort to address orphan oil wells in LA.

As wildfires continue smoldering in Los Angeles, looming over the horizon is another worrying development — the growing spread of bird flu. This strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) — first detected in the United States in February 2022 — has swept through poultry and dairy farms across the country and has jumped over to infecting humans as well. In December, the first fatal human case of the H5N1 virus was reported in Louisiana. According to latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control , so far there have been 67 human cases of bird flu nationwide since 2024, 38 of which occurred in California, the most out of any state. Yesterday, the CDC confirmed that a San Francisco child was the second child in the Bay Area, and the country, to contract the virus. So how serious is the situation? How worried should we be? What should we be doing to safeguard ourselves and animals? To answer these questions, Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief and Terra Verde cohost Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with the two experts, Dr. Maurice Pitesky from the University of California, Davis’ School for Veterinary Medicine, and Dr. William Schaffner of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases . Note: Here is an interactive map from UC Davis School for Veterinary Medicine that shows the entire outbreak in the Americas. The post Bird Flu has Spread to Humans.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and other animals die globally from entanglement in fishing equipment. Countless more are injured. Along the US West Coast, impacted species include humpback whales, gray whales, and fin whales. Despite the breadth of the problem, information about entanglements, including where they occurred, what animals were impacted, and what kind of fishing gear was involved, can in some cases be hard to come by. Tara Brock, Pacific legal director and senior counsel with Oceana , and Ben Grundy, oceans campaigner with the Center for Biological Diversity , join Terra Verde host and producer Zoe Loftus-Farren to discuss their work on the issue, including efforts to fill information gaps, steer us towards practical solutions, and ultimately, reduce the number of animals ensnared in our fishing gear.

Latinx farmworkers, who make up over 80% of California’s agricultural workforce, face some of the state’s lowest levels of food security, wealth, and homeownership. This week on Terra Verde, host and producer Hannah Wilton is joined by longtime farmer and co-owner of Full Belly Farm Paul Muller to discuss their research and development initiative to create a replicable model of affordable homeownership for farmworkers. Their pilot project, “Casas Capay Valley,” will provide resident-owned housing for several farmworker families employed at Full Belly Farm through the acquisition of a 43-acre parcel in Yolo County by a community land trust. Muller speaks to the importance of strengthening rural communities, building equity for farmworkers, and fostering long-term social and economic stability for California’s agricultural workforce.

In California — a state whose progressive environmental policies have been the special focus of Trump’s ire — policymakers and environmentalists are bracing for the impacts of a second Trump administration where Republicans have full control of both houses. Lawmakers are gearing up to use state and local government powers to safeguard the environment and communities from imminent destructive federal policies. And on the ground, community groups and activists are preparing to organize. To give us a sense of the efforts underway in the state to “Trump Proof” California, Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief and Terra Verde cohost Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with Ken Alex , director of Project Climate and former senior policy advisor on climate, environment, and energy to Governor Jerry Brown.
