Green & Gritty Podcast

Welcome to the Green and Gritty podcast! We are four Master's students trying to make environmental education a little more accessible. We are a podcast dedicated to discussing sustainability and raising awareness for environmental issues, but we’re gritty because we aren’t professionals yet, we’re still figuring things out, and we won’t be polished like your average lecture hall. We’re here to be green and have fun. So welcome to our little corner of the internet, we hope you’ll stay around and learn with us.

    The World is on FIRE

    GREEN AND GRITTY FAMILY... WE ARE BACK. We took some time off for our own personal research endeavors but we missed y'all too much to stay away any longer. We get right into the shit today talking about all the extreme weather events we’ve been seeing here in the GTA, including the ocean being on fire :’) We dive right into pipeline gas leaks, oil spills and the deeply rooted impacts they have on aquatic life, human communities, our planet and climate change as a whole, and even the economy.
