Environmentally Speaking
Welcome to Environmentally Speaking.
The environment is everything, literally, and on this podcast, no environmental topic is off-limits. We are living in unprecedented times. Times of threats to our environment, our health, and our freedom. Environmental degradation has resulted in the loss of livelihoods, lives, cultures, knowledges, and heritages. We are in the midst of a global-scale environmental crisis…climate change. What are our leaders doing to fight against this? What are you doing to fight against this? For our returning listeners, we have rebranded. So you would have been with us from what is now Season 1, CovidChat, where we discussed the multidimensional impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thank you for sticking with us. Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @Ourfootprintja. Visit our website www.ourfootprintja.org.

Solid Waste Management
If there is one thing we all have in common it's waste. We use it, try to lose it, but we have to find a way to deal with it.
With no sanitary landfills in the country, waste management in Jamaica becomes a huge issue for our homes and communities, even affecting livelihoods and worsening disasters.
We talk to Theresa Rodriguez-Moodie, CEO of Jamaica Environment Trust and Senator Sophia Frazer-Binns, Opposition Spokesperson on Environment and Ecological Heritage about the impacts of these systems and our hopes for the future of waste management in Jamaica, beyond this election season.
