In this special segment, the Ferruccio's daughter, Kyra Christina Ferruccio Ramírez, explains how she did not seek out environmental activism but learned that pollution is pervasive and comes in many forms and that we all must do our part to help make our environment(s) safer for humans and more-than-humans. She celebrates the Warren County PCB environmental justice movement but asks her listeners to consider how it came to be as well as to ponder the wider implications of this environmental history. Furthermore, she gets us to consider how policies and regulations are often tied to and funded by industry and how regulations are designed to protect polluters and not people. Kyra prompts us to look at environmental justice from a wider lens in order to appreciate the multifarious environmental hazards that threaten public health and the environment across the nation and globe. She invites listeners to get involved in whatever ways they can.
