		<description><![CDATA[Biologist, mother and activist Sandra Steingraber joins Bill Moyers to talk about the need to build awareness about toxins contaminating our air, water and food that threaten our children's health. With government captured by the very industries it's supposed to regulate, Steingraber says she's lost patience with politicians and corporations, but that our kids need to know "mom is on the job" of preventing destruction to the environment. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I buy gas at the corner station, the one I wrote about during Hurricane Sandy, and a few months ago I started chatting with a gas attendant who reminded me of my first best friend, Frank, who died three days after my 30th birthday---a rare cancer. Very sad story.

This new guy, we’ll call him Paul to protect his privacy, Paul is always smiling, always ready to listen to my socio-political “did you know” stories, always ready to respond with:

“Bro, get the fuck out of here. Are you serious?”]]></description>

“You should talk to Charles over there. He’s a writer.”

And so she came walking over. Clearly nervous. Clearly a bit uncomfortable with that title:

Joyful because I’m sore from two days of middle-aged workouts---that good workout sore, you know what I mean? Another workout tomorrow, but I’m cranky about it. I’m still going, though---a new commitment. I’m making other changes in my life, too. Trying to.   ]]></description>
