EP 15 - Unethical Pork, Debt Ceiling Deal Impacts Environment & Local Food Economy
Description
This episode is all about money, money, money! Shelby and Anton discuss economic legislation and how it can effect our environment. From animal rights, to the debt ceiling .
Segment 1: Anton covers the latest challenge to Proposition 12, one of the strongest farm animal protection laws in the world. When the pork industry challenged the law, claiming it is hurting business, the supreme court upheld the law--a win for humans and pigs everywhere!
Segment 2: Shelby covers the impact the newly passed debt limit bill in the United States has had on environmental causes. Listen to Shelby explain exactly what is the debt limit and what environmental consequences we will face as a nation.
Segment 3: Local food is sustainable food. Segment one covered the state's buying power, but what about you as a consumer? Anton talks about the benefits of buying locally grown food on the economy and environment.
