In this episode of Operation Climate, Kendra Rentz speaks with Jim Puckett, founder of the Basel Action Network, about the dangerous and often overlooked world of electronic waste. They examine the toxic components of e-waste and the serious risks it poses to both human health and the environment. From workers exposed to hazardous chemicals in informal recycling operations to the impact on vulnerable children, the conversation delves into the far-reaching health consequences of the e-waste crisis. While the episode highlights challenges posed by electronic waste, it also explores positive solutions, including innovative efforts to reduce e-waste and the importance of continued, collective action. Kendra and Mr. Puckett discuss how, by working together, we can help prevent the e-waste crisis from spiraling further out of control and protect the future of our planet.---------------------------------------------------------------------Visit our website to keep up with the OC team!https://operationclimatepo.wixsite.com/operationclimateFollow us on Instagram at @operationclimate!To contact us, DM us on Instagram or email us at [email protected]!---------------------------------------------------------------------Guest: Jim PuckettHosts: Kendra RentzReporters: Lauren Coleman, Jaida Ciampi, Kendra RentzAudio Editor: Lauren ColemanMusic Credit: Sunshower by LATASHA
