Water sustains us. But from the endangered rivers of West Virginia, to the coal-polluted tap water of Goldsboro, North Carolina to the warming Alabama bayou, our waters are increasingly threatened by dirty energy. From fishing families to people from the Birthplace of Rivers, hear stories from people who -- each in their own way -- support the natural world that sustains them, their memories, livelihood and culture.
This is the third full-length episode of The Land I Trust, a brand new audio storytelling project brought to you by the Sierra Club. In this series, we travel through the American South to talk with folks about the dirty energy projects that threaten their homes and the work they’re doing to build a clean energy economy that allows all of our communities to thrive.
