## Resource

What is environmental racism? We’ve covered a lot of environmental issues on Do You Really Know? so regular listeners will be well aware of how the climate crisis is affecting the whole planet. But it’s important to also note how these problems don’t affect everyone equally. People in developing countries, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, are already feeling the impact on their income, physical health and surrounding environment. That’s despite industrialised countries having contributed far more to global warming overall. What kind of environmental problems are we talking about exactly? Do you have any concrete examples? What about on an international level? ⁠⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: ⁠⁠What are plant milks?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Who is Scrooge McDuck?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠What is permafrost?⁠⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.
