Synopsis:

ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS: WHO DO THEY LEAVE OUT?

Environmental studies, rules and regulations have, for decades, been oriented toward “Reference Man”, a 180-pound 25-year-old Middle Class White Male. Pollution usually hurts women and children much worse than that male model, as the environmental research doesn’t factor in their smaller, more vulnerable bodies.

We will discuss the facts in context of women’s health issues as it has been historically, and what the rules and regulations ought to be, with our guests.

Fran Luck, host of Joy and Resistance Multicultural Feminist Radio on ’BAI, will give us a historical context of disparate health issues of women vs men going back many centuries.

Jill Aquino is an environmental-health nurse and a member of the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments. As a former school nurse she saw the effects of pollution on children and on different groups of people.

We open the show with news: AI won't save nuclear, the Trump administration meddling with approved solar project in Nevada, and attempts to weaken the Endangered Species Act.

The NYC Metro Raging Grannies singing Radical Environmentalists is our song for this episode.

Fran Luck - producer, Joy of Resistance Multicultural Feminist Radio
