Listen "[SPECIAL] The Smell of Money: Hog Farming and Environmental Racism | with Jamie Berger"
Episode Synopsis
In North Carolina, there are almost as many pigs as people. With millions of pigs packed into industrial scale facilities, the question of what to do with the waste has become a huge problem and a prime example of environmental racism.
In this episode, we explore the concepts of environmental justice and environmental racism through the lens of hog farming. We talk with Jamie Berger, producer of the new documentary, The Smell of Money, explore how individuals in eastern North Carolina are fighting against the pork industry, and discuss ways you can use your passions to work for environmental justice!
