On this week’s edition of Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, sits down with WFPL's Energy and Environment Reporter, Ryan Van Velzer. Ryan recently finished a 5-part series on toxic air pollution in Louisville which reinforces the notion that pollution has a disproportionate impact on people of color and lower-income communities in western and southern sections of the city. We discuss the state of Louisville’s air, explore the heroes fighting to improve it, and uncover who some of the biggest polluters are. We also discuss what can be done to reduce Louisville's toxic air pollution and some surprising findings about health threats from the air quality inside our homes and buildings!

Does a high IQ mean automatically suggest you're living the high life? This show looks at a recent article by critical thinking and educator Helen Lee Bouygues, founder of The Reboot Foundation and Forbes critical thinking columnist (yes, they have one!). Helen wonders how critical thinking improves life outcomes and shares some findings from a study that compares raw intelligence scores and critical thinking abilities against 'positive life outcomes' to see what matters most--or if there's a difference. See article link in comments below. Join us as we consider these differences and our *own* life outcomes in comparison!

We discuss critical thinking in many different aspects during this hour-long conversation about a variety of topics. All of it comes back to our ability to think about our own thinking.

"Critical Thinking for Everyone" airs on FORward Radio, 106.5fm and forwardradio.org, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Thursday at 5 pm EST and repeats Thursday at midnight and Friday at 11 am. Please listen live at www.forwardradio.org/. Find us on Facebook at "Critical Thinking for Everyone".

Our music is by Bensound, and it is free and available to anyone to use--www.bensound.com/.
