Where environmental
& social issues intersect.
Listen on:
It’s an age-old injustice:
Those most affected by pollution are too often ignored.
Hogs trapped in slaughterhouses are forced to live in inhumane conditions. Bonefish nearly go extinct before humans take notice. And non-white residents living near toxic waste sites are either ignored or paid off.
Let’s give voice to the voiceless.
Hi. I’m Mickey.
I’ve been passionate about the outdoors since I was a little kid scaling boulders and catching lizards.
As I got older, I realized that the natural world I loved was in trouble, and few people seemed to know or care.
So as a good privileged Millenial, I went on a few life-changing backpacking trips while (unsuccessfully) attempting to graduate from college.
Eventually, I earned my graduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Asheville where I studied environmental and cultural sustainability.
This effort culminated in my thesis, which examined the disproportionate impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities in the southeastern US - past, present and future.
