The EIC Podcast: Students call for ban on plastic bottles, Brie Bristol on her new podcast “A Race to Interacial” and dating

Jonathan Kermah, Co-editor in Chief November 19, 2019
Jonathan Kermah is joined by Amherst Wire news editors Brian Choquet and Caeli Chesin to discuss yesterday's student demonstration calling for a ban on single-use plastic on campus. Later in the show, Rebirth Project PR director Brie Bristol joins the show to talk about her new podcast "A Race to Interacial" and what qualifies as a date.
I think the most vital fact that people need to remember is that we have a climate emergency, said CEPA’s co-campaign coordinator, Barkha Bhandari, at a demonstration against UMass Amhersts use of single-use, plastic bottles on Nov. 18, 2019. The most marginalized and vulnerable communities in our society are being affected by the climate crisis a lot more adversely than we are right now.
