3. Public Trust: Testing the Waters

Are PFAS in maple sap, wild rice, fish and other harvestable goods important to the Anishinaabe way of life? These are some of the questions the Voigt Intertribal Task Force asked Gavin Dehnert, Wisconsin Sea Grant’s emerging contaminants scientist, after PFAS were found in wolves. In this episode, Public Trust producer Bonnie tells Richelle about the beginnings of a tribally-driven research project testing the waters of the ceded territories of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan for PFAS.

Houselessness and the environment: a roundtable

People experiencing houselessness are amongst those most affected by extreme cold, extreme heat, wildfires, and other weather exacerbated by climate change. The Water We Swim In team wanted to learn more about houselessness and its ties to the environment - especially because Wisconsin’s already frigid winters and hot summers might become more erratic. We sat down with 7 community leaders and researchers from Boston to Portland to talk about the housing crisis, climate, and community. Finally, we visit Porch Light, Inc, right here in Madison, Wisconsin. Special thanks to our guests: Tony Shu, Breaktime April Ballard, Emory University MyDzung Chu, ADAPT, Tufts Medical Center Lisa Fay, Right 2 Survive, Resting Safe Ibrahim Mubarak, Right 2 Survive Erin Goodling, Right 2 Survive, Resting Safe Karla Thennes, Porch Light, Inc Looking to support our guests’ work?
