So I Can Breathe: What Difference Did It Make?

Over to You

Available for over a year

The season So I Can Breathe explored some of the ways the world is seeking to reduce air pollution. How much of an impact did it have. Head of the project Emily Kasriel joins Rajan in the Over To You studio to explain the impetus for the season and listeners from around the world share their thoughts on its efficacy. Also, there is some confusion to clear up around the coincidental nature of the news that Emma Morano died as the world’s oldest woman aged 117 at the same time a documentary was broadcast about a Kenyan woman who is also 117 but alive and well. Don’t worry, there’s a simple explanation.
