The Impact of Pollution, Colonialism, and Accountability for Long-term Consequences

The chapter explores the increasing concern over pollution, specifically microplastics and traces of PFAS, and its effects on various social classes. It also delves into the practice of developed countries exporting their waste to countries that do not produce it, as well as the link between pollution and colonialism. The conversation highlights the research conducted by Max Liberon on this relationship and raises questions about accountability for those responsible for introducing toxins into the environment.
