Podcast: Download (Duration: 19:15 — 22.0MB)
We are joined by Dr. Peter Montague, Director of the Environmental Research Foundation, and active member of the NJ Environmental Justice Alliance, a group focused on the disproportionate impacts of environmental pollution on people of color and lower income. From 1980-1983 he served as Project Administrator of the Hazardous Waste Research Program in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton University. In 1991-1992 he worked for Greenpeace USA as a Senior Research Analyst in the Toxics Reduction Campaign.
Today is part one of our interview with Peter about coal energy. He paints a vivid picture of a side of our power system few of us rarely see. Peter has a great understanding of the coal industry, I think you will find his insight fascinating.

Hello,
My name is Michael Palmieri, I am a student at Bloomfield College and President of “The Green Hearts Movement”, an environmental club a group of students and I have started up this year. Our aim is to spead awareness about climate change and its affects, along with providing clean solutions to these problems. Currently we are working with 350 and thier campaign, which is aimed to put pressure on world officials attending the Copenhagen Climate Summit meeting this December to draft a treaty that is strong and binding. The campaign itself is named after and based off the safe level of carbon dioxide in the atmospher (350 parts per million)
On October 24th 350 has orchestrated one of the largest days of climate action. Over 2000 actions are taking place in 140 countries.
