Matt Simon: Microplastics Everywhere – in Water, Land and Air

Hosted by the Surfrider Foundation, San Diego, in January 2024  Matt Simon is the author of the book: A Poison Like No Other, How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies.
He traces how the plastic we are using and discarding breaks into ever smaller pieces that poison water, soil and the atmosphere. Scientists have found micro plastics in the deepest ocean trenches and in snow of the North and South Poles. They are in our food, and from there travel though our bodies. And most plastic is made from a mix of toxic petro-chemicals.
Matt Simon has been a science journalist at Wired magazine for nine years. He covers a range of beats, including biology, robotics, climate change, and of course, [ . . . ]

A Poison Like No Other – Matt Simon – TUC Archives

How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies
Welcome to this program from TUC Radio’s Archives, first broadcasts on Jan. 3, 2023.
Almost all plastics in use today are so called “petrochemicals,” products made from fossil fuels like oil, coal, and gas. This industry is booming and plastics are showing up not just in manufacturing, construction and road building, but in our personal environment, our homes, households, clothes, furniture, and the food distribution systems we depend on.
The very thing that makes plastic so useful – its toughness – means it never really goes away. It just gets smaller and smaller: eventually small enough to enter the atmosphere and be inhaled, or be absorbed by food crops that are watered with sewage sludge. [ . . . ]

George Galloway – Viva Palestina, Historic Aid Convoy to Gaza

Israel’s War on Gaza waged from Dec. 27/2008 to Jan. 18/2009 – TUC Radio Archive
The story of an international campaign to bring aid to Gaza and break the blockade is inspiring at this time – and here is the audio from a film I made of a talk given by George Galloway in Berkeley, CA, in 2009.
Israel’s war on Gaza from Dec 27, 2008 to Jan 18, 2009, made more than 100,000 people homeless. Both Israel and Egypt had closed the borders to Gaza, preventing all aid from coming in.
British Member of Parliament George Galloway broke the siege of Gaza with a 2 mile long humanitarian aid convoy in early 2009. They entered through the Rafah gate [ . . . ]
