Who Actually Pays for Climate Inaction?

The real cost of climate inaction - Monologue episode

PFAS: The Environmental Crisis You Don't See But Live With Every Day

PFAS (Forever Chemical) contamination didn’t just happen overnight—and neither did our acceptance of it! In this 5-minute monologue, I unpack the shifting baseline syndrome concept and how living with “forever chemicals” has quietly become normal. Each generation inherits a more polluted world and calls it normal. PFAS is a textbook case of this concept. What are your thoughts?

PFAS: The "Forever Chemicals" That Never Go Away

In this quick 5-minute monologue, I break down what “forever chemicals” really are, why they don’t break down in our bodies or the environment, and how they quietly make their way into our water, food, and everyday products. With a few surprising facts and straight talk (no jargon), this episode connects the dots between science, health, and the choices we’re being asked not to think about. If you’ve ever wondered what PFAS are—and why they matter to everyone—this is the place to start.
