Green Majority Radio

This week we focus on largely on climate effects, as they are already causing havoc. Additionally as these effects become more clear, some hard to predict further complications can become apparent complicating mitigation efforts and causing additional difficulties and danger the world over.

This week on the bonus show Stefan and Saryn discuss the newly laid charges against 17 people including 5 city employees in Flint, Michigan over the ongoing lead poisoning water crisis. They talk about the details of the latest developments as well as the implications and lessons learned so far from this horrible betrayal of the public trust.

Stefan starts the show with a discussion around public-private partnerships with some examples. They could solve multiple problems at once and has positive outcomes for citizens, governments and the companies involved.

Stefan and Saryn discuss the balance between when and how corporations and governments should be in charge of public works. Initiated by some uneasiness about how much of our public events are now funded (aka controlled) by private donors such as TD bank and TO Pride, we discuss the implications, concerns and alternative methods of public events that don't put us at the mercy of private interests to have a good time!
