The Ralph Nader Radio Hour

The Plastics We Breathe / Industrial Hemp

Ralph welcomes Washington Post reporter Shannon Osaka to discuss her new article “The Plastics We Breathe” and the shocking truth that the plastics we’re using aren’t just polluting the environment — they’re polluting our bodies as well. Then, Ralph checks in on the state of the industrial hemp movement with “Hempster” filmmaker and activist Michael Henning.

GUESTS:

Shannon Osaka is a climate reporter covering policy, culture, and science for the Washington Post. Before joining the Post, she was a climate reporter at the nonprofit environmental outlet Grist.

Michael Henning is a filmmaker, public speaker, and longtime proponent of the Industrial Hemp Movement. He is the director of “Hempsters: Plant the Seeds,” a documentary about the struggle to legalize industrial hemp.
