Roots Run Deep | What is Greenwashing? Episode 3

Welcome to the Roots Run Deep Podcast! We are your hosts Rafa & Kiara that work at Urban Tilth as Just Transition Organizers. In this episode, we are talking about what Greenwashing means. How big polluters can easily claim green practices for their own agenda to gain profits and how our community in North Richmond Ca is facing injustices caused by these extractive Corporations. Our community is being targeted by these big corporations by using our vulnerability against us. We hope that this episode reflects the ongoing conversations our community has regarding the environmental impacts that these unwanted neighbors keep causing. Please feel free to leave a comment on anything you believe we might have missed or if you have any questions. Big thank you to Cooperation Richmond!
