Exposure Episode 1 - Exiled: The Human Cost of Fracking
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Exposure, where we pull back the curtain on the oil, gas, and plastic industries. In this episode, we dive into the devastating impacts of fracking on communities, environment, and health—stories that are often hidden from the public eye.
