Interview 30: Eating With An Environmentalist

Here’s a new interview from my recent trip to New Orleans.

I sat down to brunch with Anne Rolfes. She’s the head of the Louisiana Bucket Brigade, an organization that works with communities living near refineries to collect air quality samples. They use that data to pressure industry to cut air pollution and take other steps to improve the lives of typically low-income residents living on so-called Refinery Row.

As an alternative to reading the interview, I’m also for the first time able to make an audio version of the article available at the same time. So either read a bunch or words or hear me speak them. Not sure which is the greater punishment.
