---BEWARE, HOT TAKES AND SENSITIVE TOPICS ENSUE!---

It took us Oppenheimer to finally talk about nuclear energy on an ecology-themed podcast.

Tonight the Gen Green crew has connected with our lovely new friend Frank Silva from the Aegis Treatment Center to discuss his new position and how he entered the public health field. For the episode, we discuss Mr Silva's experiences with substance abuse before pivoting toward a new substance education to correct the failures of past anti-drug initiatives. For those interested in getting help for oneself or a loved one who is currently addicted to illegal substances, reach out to him at [email protected], or at Aegis's hotline at 1-833-522-HEAL .

THIS WAS RECORDED ON MAY THE FOURTH
