In our season finale, we have the immense honor to chat with Bernadette Demientieff, a Gwich’in Tribal leader fighting to protect her community’s cultural identity and traditional way of life. The Gwich’in Indian Nation considers the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge “the sacred place where life begins”, an ecological hotspot in constant threat of oil and gas development.

Join us in conversation with Josh Mori, an activist for traditional Hawaiian farming and food sovereignty located in West Kauaʻi. Josh's insights on restorative justice is powerful. His lived experience as an indigenous farmer resisting the agribusiness industry is a testament to his ancestral roots - shaped by a deep connection to the land, sea, and soil.

In “The First Responder,” we have a timely conversation about climate change and deep-rooted systemic racism with community organizer, David Heppard. David is the Executive Director of the Freedom Project Washington - a Seattle-based organization that works to dismantle the system of mass incarceration and heal its traumatic effects.

In this week's episode we visit Atlanta, Georgia, to chat with Jacqueline Echols about “Cop City.” Jacqueline is a long-time ecologist and nature lover who's fighting the development of a police training facility in Atlanta's South River Forest.

In our season three opener, we’re heading back to St. James Parish, Louisiana, to hear from Miss Sharon Lavigne and her daughter Shamyra in the face of hurricane season, Big Plastic, and the industrial polluters of “Cancer Alley”.

People over Plastic is thrilled to join forces with Prism to launch apodcast docuseries that centers on personal stories from five U.S. communities disproportionately impacted by climate change, plastic pollution, and society’s most pressing environmental injustices.
