Making Polluters Pay for Climate Change – with Anne Rabe

This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about popular foods that are contaminated with plastic particles, the secret network of pipelines carrying toxic radioactive waste from fracking operations, and the proposal to bury millions of tons of carbon under the Gulf of Mexico. Then Anne Rabe, Environmental Policy Director at NYPIRG, talks about New York’s groundbreaking Climate Change Superfund Act, which requires greenhouse gas polluters to pay $75 billion to help defray the costs of dealing with powerful storms and other impacts of climate change. Is this a model for the country? More information and links to everything discussed at www.GreenStreetNews.org.
