Show Notes
In this week’s politics episode, we take a look at the Stop Trashing Our Air Act – a bill introduced by City Councilmember Jamie Gauthier that could ban Philadelphia from burning trash in Chester, PA, a city just south of Philly. Each year, the city collects 610,000 tons of waste, and one-third of it ends up getting incinerated in Chester where residents have complained that it causes health and environmental problems. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Gauthier about the bill, available alternatives, and why other members of City Council and the mayor aren’t on board.
