Climate crisis activist Emma Lim started a movement called #NoFutureNoChildren prompting teens to say they won’t have kids until the government acts for climate change. NBC News’ Katie Englehart talks to 18-year-old Lim who started the pledge.
Democracy Now! speaks to journalist Sharon Lerner about how corporations in the United States are refusing to turn to more sustainable materials, with most of the country’s plastic waste ending up in landfills or scattered around the world. According to her investigation, in 2015, the United States only recycled 9% of its plastic waste, and since then, that figure has dropped even lower. Lerner is a health and environment reporter at The Intercept and a reporting fellow at Type Investigations. Her series “The Teflon Toxin” was a finalist for a National Magazine Award.
