We decided to ease him into the show with one of our rare good people, Smedley Butler. One of the most decorated Marines in American history and cleaner of Philadelphia.

The Fully Charged PodcastFC LIVE 2019 - "Clearing the Air" with Tim SmedleyWith the current climate, (no pun intended) I was made aware of a fantastic book by author Tim Smedley called “Clearing the Air”. Why I wanted Tim to join us at FC Live was because he is a true believer that pollution in more urban areas is a real danger to adults and especially our children. So as well as Tim, late on we were joined by a very special guest, so stay tuned for appearance from a very courageous young lady.

There are more than 2,500 fires active across the Amazon region. This represents the most active number of fires since 2010. The increase in fires has been attributed to deliberate deforestation and clearing for agriculture or mining.
