Meanwhile, Dana Miller updates us on the $43 million actor Leo DiCaprio donated to "rewild" the Galapagos P-Mo briefs us on a plan to protect the Louisiana coast - and the "collateral damage" of Southeast Louisiana's hamlets.

The White House has released an ambitious 30-by-30 plan - an attempt to conserve 30% of U.S. lands and waters by 2030. But does Pres. Joe Biden's all talk and no bite? Is the plan too ambitious to be achieved within the next 8.5 years? We also talk about weaponizing climate against immigrants, the first-ever national offshore wind farm off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, and pig farms causing so much pollution it's killing people.

P-Mo spends a second week talking about the humanitarian crisis in India, where Covid could claim hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few weeks. Mary, meanwhile, reports on whether Nestle will be held accountable for its questionable business practices when it comes to water acquisition and distribution.

Mary Carreon deep dives into the world of hemp-based bricks, which could be a solution to climate change and supply-side construction shortages. P-Mo, meanwhile, talks about the catastrophic second surge of Covid-19 cases in India - and its secondhand effects on the environment.

This week P-Mo and Mary Carreon deep dive about the near extinction of the vaquita porpoise and the year-over-year increase of wildfires out West.

How does this effect you, even if you don't live anywhere near California?

Texas was hit with the storm of a lifetime between Feb. 13 and Feb. 18 of 2021. Erased co-host P-Mo lived through the storm, living without food, water or heat for nearly two days. Mary Carreon and Dana Miller, Erased's two other co-hosts, engage in a conversation with P-Mo about what happened in the Lone Star State. Dozens of people died and many more suffered harm as a result of what many called "Snowmageddon." Texans have never experienced anything like this before - but the deaths and damages could have been prevented or minimized. What lessons can we learn from Snowmageddon - especially if these once-in-a-century events happen with more frequency?

The maiden episode of Erased dives into the connection between NFTs and Greenhouse Gases, whether the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy is on point or misses the target, and why the Indian Farmer Protest matters to the United States.

Welcome to Erased, a weekly podcast on environmental news. Each week, P-Mo, Dana and Mary will share a few environmental news items and connect the dots as to why it matters to each and everyone of us. We'll have conversations and share information on climate issues and stories.
