How a Former NFL Player Tackles Environmental Racism…With Help from a Cartoon
It’s no coincidence that factories and toxic waste facilities have been built near poor communities and communities of color. It’s part of the larger systems of racism that exist all over the world. But for a long time, the people most affected by environmental threats have been largely absent from the broader conversation. But there’s one environmental activist trying to change all that. Taking his cues from Captain Planet, his favorite cartoon from the 1990s, former American football player Ovie Mughelli is using his love of sports and comic books to help create the next generation of environmental superheroes.
To learn more about the Ovie Mughelli Foundation, email hello@omfgreen.org. That's it for this season of The Long Game. We'll be working on Season 2. If you have ideas for future episodes, please write to us at:Write to us at podcasts@foreignpolicy.com or tag us on social: @dohadebates.
