Episode Synopsis

Creosote, a "chemical gumbo," is a known carcinogen. It is also all over Houston, especially in the historically Black neighborhood of the 5th Ward. In our inaugural episode, we speak with Sandra Edwards, a local activist, Joetta Stevenson, the president of the Greater 5th Ward Superneighborhood, and Aaron Ambroso, the co-founder and co-director of the Houston Climate Justice Museum and Cultural Center. In this episode: what is creosote, how long have we known about this issue, and what can we do about it?
