S7E1: The Smell of Money: Hog Farming and Environmental Racism | with Jamie Berger

<p>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. </p> <p>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, <em>The Smell of Money</em>, 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!</p> <p>______</p> <p>Visit our website to keep up with the OC team! <a href="https://operationclimatepo.wixsite.com/operationclimate">https://operationclimatepo.wixsite.com/operationclimate</a></p> <p>Follow us on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/operationclimate/">@operationclimate</a>!</p> <p>Follow us on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/opclimate">@opclimate!</a></p> <p>Subscribe to us on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2qm_roMDnT8c3X6GztKLnA">Youtube!</a></p> <p>To contact us, DM us on Instagram or email us at operationclimatepodcast@gmail.com!</p> <p>____________</p> <p>Host: Jessie Goldblatt and Marissa Sims</p> <p>Reporters: Jessie Goldblatt, Ryan Luo, Sarah Porter, Marissa Sims, and Clare Sparling </p> <p>Guest: Jamie Berger </p> <p>Audio Editor: Clare Sparling </p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/operation-climate/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/operation-climate/support</a>
