Black and Latino residents in Chicago are more likely than their white counterparts to be exposed to industrial pollution. As a result, they have higher rates of asthma and other chronic health conditions. Reset explores why environmental racism exists on the South Side, where the industrial hotspots are today, and how local leaders are working toward environmental justice with Karen Weigert, Reset Sustainability contributor and director of Loyola University Chicago’s Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility, Gina Ramirez, mother living on the Southeast Side and Midwest outreach manager for Natural Resources Defense Council, and Naomi Davis, founder and president of Blacks In Green.

Producer: Lynnea Domienik, Daniel Tucker
