This week Anitra Nelson will introduce the Environmental Justice Atlas – an online tool which maps ecological conflicts and spaces of resistance, and identify ways that people can both utilise and contribute to this mapping project. We'll also be taking a closer look at one particular case of an Australian company who are effectively exporting their toxic and radioactive wastes overseas. Nat Lowrey, from the Stop LYNAS campaign, will bring us up to speed on where things are at with the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant in Malaysia and talk about the types of activism that have been employed in that campaign.
