How inequality affects the air we breathe

Climate Curious

An invisible killer; air pollution is a hard topic to drive action around. But 19-year old co-founder of Choked Up Destiny Boka Batesa found a way. Launching a hard-hitting air pollution campaign, they made national news, sparking a UK-wide conversation about how inequality affects the air we breathe. And they’re not stopping there – now, they're pushing for laws to enshrine our right to clean air. Tune in with co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst live from The Conduit in London to discover what environmental racism looks like, how you can be a climate campaigner and still shop at Urban Outfitters, and why, even though this is a question of survival, it’s not too late. As Destiny says, “it's really nice and refreshing to feel like you can do the right thing.” Read our summary blog: https://tedxlondon.com/podcast/how-inequality-affects-the-air-we-breathe-2/ Buy your ticket to join our next Climate Curious Live event in London, September 5th: https://tedxlondon.com/climate-curious-live/ Follow Climate Curious: Newsletter Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Suggest a topic you’d like Climate Curious to cover Created by TEDxLondon Produced by Josie Colter Edit, mix, master by Ben Beheshty Curated by Maryam Pasha Hosted by Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst
