Ep: 074 - Ohio Train Derailment

from Environmentally Speaking Hosted by Environmentally Speaking

It’s been a month since the train derailment in East Palestine Ohio that has caused a horrific environmental disaster. We chose to wait to discuss this topic simply because we wanted there to be some short of concreate news to have a conversation about it. One thing we’ve found is…there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered. Take a listen as we discuss some of the findings. One question asked is, was there a second train involved or a second derailment in the same area? Another question is, why create a controlled, purposeful explosion to detonate the rest of the chemicals that had been leaked? And the big question everyone is asking is, is the water safe to drink? Find out the answers to these question and more. Take a listen.

Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people. Ukraine - History in the Making Emil Juhler When I started the conversation series ”Ukraine - History in the Making” I could have never imagined where this journey would lead me. It all started in March 2023 after I got home from an exchange stay in Chile and felt, that I had to do more for Ukraine, than what I did on my social media accounts and on the streets in the spring and summer of 2022. I think most of us remember that initial period after Ruzzia’s the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Speaking from a European/Danish point of view it was a time of big fear, desperation and uncertainty, but also a time of high hopes, energy and big solidarity. In the very first conversation of the show with Veronika Netrebenko, she says the following about the feelings of Ukrainians during the Maidan Revolution: ”We understood we gotta fight for it, and it was something totally different, we felt different, we felt that we need to fight for it”.
